Use an HTML comment to list links of the current page's children or siblings.<\/p>\n\n

Common usage is for content sites utilizing WordPress as a simple CMS. Some content hierarchies call for an Overview page followed by multiple subpages, for example, a Services page.<\/p>\n\n

Use the following shortcodes to list children and or siblings of the current page:<\/p>\n\n

Alphabetical listing of current page's children:<\/p>\n\n

[list_children sort_column=\"page_title\" sort_order=\"asc\"]<\/p>\n\n

List of current page's siblings, ordered by menu order (descending):<\/p>\n\n

[list_siblings sort_column=\"menu_order\" sort_order=\"desc\"]<\/p>\n\n

You can use a majority of the attributes from the wp_list_pages() call: http:\/\/codex.wordpress.org\/Function_Reference\/wp_list_pages<\/p>\n\n

The following will no longer work (deprecated):<\/em><\/p>\n\n

<ul>\n<!--list_children()-->\n<\/ul><\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Download and unzip to the 'wp-content\/plugins\/' directory <\/li>\n
  2. Activate the plugin.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n

    Can I include the current page in the list_siblings() call?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Of course, use the following:<\/p>\n\n

    [list_siblings exclude_me=\"false\"]\n<\/code><\/pre><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
    2.0.1<\/h4>\n\n
