I strung together my own fix combining some code from here with that from another website https://anartworkaccess.com/show-excerpt-of-child-pages-on-a-parent-page-with-a-shortcode/

So I put

function subpage_peek() {
global $post;
//query subpages
$args = array(
'post_parent' => $post->ID,
'post_type' => 'page'
);
$subpages = new WP_query($args);
// create output
if ($subpages->have_posts()) :
$output = '<ul>';
while ($subpages->have_posts()) : $subpages->the_post();
$output .= '<h2><a href="'.get_permalink().'">'.get_the_title().'</a></h2>
<a href="'.get_permalink().'">
<p>'.get_the_post_thumbnail( $postid,  array(180,9999), array('class' => 'alignleft') ).'</a>'.get_the_excerpt().'<br />
</p>';
endwhile;
$output .= '</ul>';
else :
$output = '<p>No subpages found.</p>';
endif;
// reset the query
wp_reset_postdata();
// return something
return $output;
}
add_shortcode('subpage_peek', 'subpage_peek');

into the functions.php file, which let’s you post subpages on parent pages using the shortcode [subpage_peek}. I added the ability to show the featured image at the same size one of the posts for displaying the featured image as a post in page so you can go back and forth between them without losing formatting and I made sure the image links to the page. It doesn’t worth for categories or tags, but it works for what I needed at the moment. If anyone can figure out how to do it for tags/categories, please post here. Thanks!

I’m thinking it has something to do with (page_posts.php):

protected function paginate_links( $posts ){
global $wp_query;
$page_url = home_url( '/' . $wp_query->post->post_name . '/' );
$page = isset( $_GET['page'] ) ? $_GET['page'] : 1;
$total_pages = $posts->max_num_pages;
$per_page = $posts->query_vars['posts_per_page'];
$curr_page = ( isset( $posts->query_vars['paged'] ) && $posts->query_vars['paged'] > 0	) ? $posts->query_vars['paged'] : 1;
$prev = ( $curr_page && $curr_page > 1 ) ? '</p></p>
<li><a href="'.$page_url.'?page='. ( $curr_page-1 ).'">Previous</a></li>

<p><p>' : '';
$next = ( $curr_page && $curr_page < $total_pages ) ? '</p></p>
<li><a href="'.$page_url.'?page='. ( $curr_page+1 ).'">Next</a></li>

<p><p>' : '';
return '</p></p>
<ul>' . $prev . $next . '</ul>

<p><p>';
	}

or (page_posts.php):

// get posts in a certain category by name (slug)
if ( isset( $atts['category'] ) ) {
	$this->args['category_name'] = $atts['category'];
} elseif (	isset( $atts['cats'] ) ) { // get posts in a certain category by id
	$this->args['cat'] =  $atts['cats'];
	}
