Got it working with the following code:

<?php $this_page_id=$wp_query->post->ID; ?>

    	<?php query_posts(array('showposts' => 20, 'post_parent' => $this_page_id, 'post_type' => 'page')); while (have_posts()) { the_post(); ?>

            <div class="subpage-img">

                <?php if ( get_post_meta($post->ID, "post-img", true) ) { ?>

                    <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><img class="subpage-customimg" src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/scripts/timthumb.php?src=<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "post-img", true); ?>&w=115&h=90&zc=1" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" /></a>

                    <h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>

                <?php } else { ?>

                    <p>This is a sub page of this one - <?php the_title(); ?></p>

                <?php } ?>

            <!-- closes subpage-img -->
            </div>

        <?php } ?>

So that gets all child pages of the current page, then loops through each child page , in this case showing a custom field in an image tag, using timthumb in order to auto resize the image.

Thanks for your help MichaelH.

Thanks for that info, however when I use this code it is telling me that the page_id is ‘0’ when it is clearly 3. Any ideas?

In your themes header.php file (probably without seeing your theme) you will find code similar to the following:
<?php wp_list_pages(title_li=&depth=1'); ?>
Add an include function to include only the page IDs that you want to show in the navbar, like this:
<?php wp_list_pages(title_li=&depth=1&include=1,2,3,4,5'); ?>
This will only include pages with IDs 1,2,3,4 and 5 in the navbar that lists your pages.

Try looking here first

Try adding the negative text indent to

#menu li a

What error did you get?

Just looked and the only bullet points I can see are the ones on the lists in the sidebar which appear normal to me?

Find which part of your CSS is styling the text. If this is a list of pages like a navbar then it will probably be some sort of list looking something like this in your css:

#navbar ul li

Add the following to it to send the text off the screen:

#navbar ul li {
  text-indent: -9999px;
}

Yes a link would be needed really in order to work out exactly where what you want to achieve.

Well usually all pages are display on a site using the wp_list_pages function, which is either in the sidebar or the heading.

If your theme is not using a widget then you can find where in your template files the wp_list_pages functions is used and then change it to this, replacing the number 1 with the ID of the page you want to exclude:

<?php wp_list_pages('exclude=1'); ?>

This means that there will then not be a link to the page on any of your websites pages however the page will still there at its own permalink URL.

If you use a widget to display you pages I think the widget has an exclusion facility built in.

Typical! As soon as I post here I find the answer myself. Below does the above, but brings the title of each post rather than an image:

<?php query_posts(array('showposts' => 20, 'post_parent' => 7, 'post_type' => 'page')); while (have_posts()) { the_post(); ?>

<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>

<?php } ?>

If you have resolved this then perhaps you could share the solution for others?

Thanks for that stvwlf it was almost as required, but thanks to that code I was able to adjust slightly to get what I required which is below:

<?php $descendants = get_categories(array('child_of' => 7)); ?>
<?php foreach ($descendants as $child) { ?>
<?php $catPosts = new WP_Query(); $catPosts->query("showposts=3&cat=$child->term_id"); ?>
<h2><?php echo $child->cat_name; ?></h2>
<?php while ($catPosts->have_posts()) : $catPosts->the_post(); ?>
<ul>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
</ul>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php } ?>

This is a problem with your functions.php file. Try temporarily deleting the functions.php file and then checking if it works. Or revert to the default theme and then see if it fixes the problem. If so I’ll bet it is your functions.php file.

Everytime I have had this error it is the functions file in my theme.
