The Child Pages block lets you display a listing of pages that have a certain parent page (usually the one where the block is embedded, but you can set any parent page).
Add the block
Click the plus icon
Search for “Child Pages” and click the block name when it comes up.
Choose the parent page
Use current page as parent”
- Set to “Yes” if you just want to list child pages of the page you’re editing (where the block is embedded)
- Set to “No” if you want to list children of another page
- Use the “Custom parent page” dropdown to search for and select the parent page you want
- Search tips: you can use quotes (“) to group words into a phrase or use a minus sign (-) to exclude page that contain certain search terms
- You can select multiple parent pages, and the order matters (child pages of the first selection will appear first, etc.). Click and drag page names after they’re selected to re-order.
Number of child pages
The listing will show up to this many child pages of the parent selected (see below for options to show more children on subsequent pages).
Optional: pagination settings
If there are more child pages than the number you’ve set to show, you can choose to let people see more pages of them.
- Show more pages
Enable pagination links to page through more posts that meet the filter criteria, like this:
- Page links at top?
If this is set to “Yes” those page links will be shown at the beginning of the block (they are always shown at the end of the block, after the list of posts) - Top page links on first page
If you’re showing page links at the top of the block, you can decide not to show them on the first page of post results by setting this to No. Setting this to Yes will show pagination links at the top of the first page too.
Field and Layout settings
The rest of the settings are essentially the same as the fields and layout sections of the Unique Posts plugin.
