WordPress Pagelist plugin

Plugin helps you to show list of pages of your web-site with [pagelist], [subpages], [siblings] and [pagelist_ext] shortcodes. Very usefull for adding sitemap or list of subpages or list of products with thumbnails on your web-site.

Documentation

Shortcodes [pagelist], [subpages], [siblings] are based on wp_list_pages('title_li=') function and show hierarchical tree of pages;
You can use aditional parameters: [pagelist depth="2" child_of="4" exclude="6,7,8"].
Shortcodes [pagelist], [subpages] and [siblings] accept the same parameters. The only difference is that [subpages] and [siblings] not accept child_of parameter, because [subpages] shows subpages to the current page and [siblings] shows subpages to the parent page.

Shortcode [pagelist_ext] is based on get_pages() function and show list of pages with featured image and with excerpt;
You can use aditional parameters: [pagelist_ext child_of="4" exclude="6,7,8" image_width="50" image_height="50"].

  1. Wow, Excellent plugin, I was trying to achieve the same result by custom taxonomies, then related posts by taxonomies, etc, yet I could not avoid the parent page being listed via that. But this made it all so easy.
    I have a doubt, I want to show images, thus I understand , I have to use the [pagelist_ext] shortcode, how can I add content before and after the links?. The pagelist_ext equivalent of link_before and link_after?

  4. Thank you very much for your plugin. It works very well... but I have a question... is there a way to adjust the size of the text in the pages list ? Mine is a little to small and I do not know how to adjust it. Thank you in advance and, once again, congratulations for your excellent work ! Cheers.

  5. Hi, I am contacting you regarding the page-list plugin for WP. I have for example a "Medical" Page which includes multiple subpages. Now in the main "Medical" page at the bottom of the page, using WP Page List it automatically lists its sub-pages as links. I would like to set anchors to these links so that when clicked, it is redirected to a specific section within that subpage. Would that be possible please ?

  7. very useful plugin but is it possible to only show text after a certain point in the pagelist_ext? For example, if I have a heading on the page I am listing that I do not wish to show in the text preview, is it possible?

  8. This is a great plug-in, I'm hoping to use it to make my scout list easier to manage. Is it possible to create an ordered list instead of unordered? And if it is an ordered list, is it still possible to have columns?

  9. Hi there. This is great, thank you so much.

    I'm having a problem with the offset & display number for listing [siblings]. When I define number="8", the list only displays 4 pages. I have to define number="17" for it to display the 8 pages that I want. The same is happening with offset-- I have to offset the list by a higher number than it actually should be in order to get the correct offset I need.

    Can you think of any reason this would happen?

    The only thing I could think of was that I didn't create all sibling pages at the same time, so there are some other parent pages with IDs in between siblings. Does that matter?

    Thank you!

    • Plugin relies on the wp_list_pages() WordPress core function and it has a known issue with number and offset params. I don't know when it is gonna be fixed. Sorry about that.

  11. Hi Vitali

    It seems that the shortcode doesn't work in Widget (text). All I see is the shortcode and not the results. Want to know if the plugin is updated, as I know there has been an update in WordPress as how shortcodes works.

    Looking forward to your reply.

    • Maybe it's possible to modify this function? Sorry, I'm not able to do this myself ...

      if ( !function_exists('pagelist_unqprfx_get_first_image') ) {
      function pagelist_unqprfx_get_first_image( $content='' ) {
      $first_img = '';
      $matchCount = preg_match_all('//i', $content, $matches);
      if ( $matchCount !== 0 ) { // if we found first image
      $first_img = $matches[1][0];
      }
      return $first_img;
      }
      }
