Automatic list of child links on parent page WordPress

wjm answers:

Hi Leigh,

There are three possible ways i can think of.

1) install Exec PHP and include the php code in the content of the page.

2) add a filter to the_content() to that page. I can write the code if you want this solution.

or

3) create a template and apply it to that page. Which is the one i recommend
I have created this tempalte using page.php (from twentyten, the default wordpress theme), but you can create your own copying and pasting the code.

save the following file
http://wordpress.pastebin.com/dLp5XpYy
as subpages.php and save it in your theme directory.

Then go and edit the directory page in wp-admin, and on the right side bar, in the "Page Attributes" box, under "Template" select the tempalte "List Subpages"

I dont know what theme you are using, but you can just make a copy of page.php and rename it subpages.php, and right after "the_content()" put this code

<?php
//LIST SUBPAGES [START]
echo '<ul class="xoxo pages">';
wp_list_pages( array( 'title_li' => false, 'parent' => $post->ID ) );
echo '</ul><!-- .xoxo .pages -->';
//LIST SUBPAGES [END]
?>



I recommend using the tempaltes because you can apply it to how many pages you want, and using a filter, you will have to edit your functions.php file every time you want to add this feature to a new page.

let me know if it works, and if you have any further question
