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. hi! how can I remove styles? I don't need this:

    those function doesn't work (but I think it should work..)

    wp_dequeue_style('page-list-style-css');

    wp_dequeue_style('page-list');

  2. Subpages sort order:

    I have dropdown menus where the menu items are manually sorted in Appearance > Menus. I want [subpages] and [siblings] to produce the same order. I'm using this:

    [subpages sort_column="menu_order" sort_order="asc"]

    but it's not producing the same order as my drop-down menus. Am I misunderstanding the meaning of sort_column="menu_order"?

  3. This: [pagelist child_of="this" number="3" depth="1" sort_order="desc" ] does not work! Why? Without "sort_order" – works, but incorrect! Any idea?

  4. Can Page-List get the parent of a current child page? Something like:

    [pagelist parent_of="current"]

    In any event, thanks for a very useful plugin!

      • No, that's the same as:

        [siblings]

        I'm using Page-List shortcodes in a sidebar text widget with conditional logic (enhanced text widget that parses PHP), to create a context-specific menu. If I'm on a siblings page, I want to generate a link to the parent page.

        The widget code looks like this, with a comment about what I want to do:

        post_parent > 0 ) {

        /* we're on a child page */

        /* **** here I want a link to the parent page */

        echo do_shortcode('[siblings]');

        } elseif ( is_page() && $post->post_parent == 0 ) {

        /* we're on a parent page */

        echo do_shortcode('[subpages]');

        }

        ?>

        • Sorry, the code tag chopped off my "if" statement for some reason. I'm testing if a page is a child or not. It's not important to my question, but top line should have been:

          if ( is_page() && $post->post_parent > 0 ) {

  5. Hi. I want to use your plugin in a sidebar widget to show a page's Featured Image (and nothing else) in the sidebar. It seems like this should work:

    [pagelist_ext include="this" show_image="1" show_title="0" show_content="0"]

    But that produces nothing. (I've also tried "current" rather than "this".) However, if I use the current page's ID, like this:

    [pagelist_ext include="26" show_image="1" show_title="0" show_content="0"]

    ... it works fine.

    But I want to generalize it so that the sidebar widget always shows only the Featured Image of the page that's loaded. Can I do that? Thanks.

  7. Hello, great plugin - thanks

    Question:

    Is there a way to show the numbers of "subpages" on a page, like this:

    Normal:

    -------------------------

    - Page 1

    - - Sub Page 1

    - - Sub Page 2

    - - Sub Page 3

    =============

    New Output:

    --------------------

    - Page 1 ( 3 )

    Thanks for Feedback, Paul

  8. Hi,

    is it possible to filter childpages by a certain content in a customfield?

    For example:

    Show only pages where country="us"

    thanks in advance

  9. Google does not accept the sitemap I built on your code, due to the fact that "it is in HTML. Use a supported format." How can I correct this? :(

  11. Hi

    Having an issue with formatting.

    Can be noticed when doing a search. Gradually, the formatting goes to hell the further down the page.

    I have noticed an extra tag near the closing tags for the pagelist.

    I cannot find the issue within the php code myself. All tags there seem to be matched.

    Here is the code snippet. Many thanks Mike

    *** all inner tags are good from here ****

    Looks like a (or similar) tag is missing from the second nested list.

  12. I am trying just to display the 1st level of the parent pages with their featured imaged using the following:

    [pagelist_ext hierarchical="0" exclude="279,358,276,2,5,52"]

    But I am getting all children pages.

    For example

    Page 1

    Page 1.1

    Page 2

    Page 2.1

    Page 2.2

    Page 3

    I want to only get Page 1, Page 2 and Page 3 returned. What am i doing wrong?

    Thanks

    Peter

    • Try this shortcode: [pagelist_ext child_of="77" parent="77"] where "77" is ID of the parent page and you will get only its children and not grandchildren.

  15. Hi

    Our website is using your plugin to display our site map, but I do not seem able to make it appear indented in the way your examples are.

    I get the different icon for each level of the map, but they are all left aligned.

    Could you point me in the correct direction to correct this?

    Many thanks,

    Sue

    • Probably your issue is related to the theme and not to the Page-List plugin.
      Page-list plugin has only minimum amount of styles and the main part of styles is used from the theme.

  17. When I use the [pagelist_ext limit_content="300"], there are some parts which shows the content more than that or even the whole content! I don't think I have any problems with the page itself.
