## Beskrivelse

I could not find an easy plugin that enabled me to use a shortcode that would enable
me to publish a list of child pages under a parent page. So, I built one.

#### Usage

The shortcode is `[listchildpages]...[/listchildpages]`. It accepts several attributes:

 * **ifempty**: Message or HTML to show if no child pages exist.
 * **order**: `ASC` or `DESC`. Default: `DESC`.
 * **orderby**: Field to order by. Default: `publish_date` (maps to `date`). Also
   accepts `published` (maps to `date`), `title`, `name`, `modified`, `menu_order`,`
   ID`, `rand`, `type`, and `author`.
 * **displayimage**: Show featured image (`yes|no`). Also accepts `y`, `true`, `
   1`, and `on`. Default: `no`.
 * **align**: CSS class to apply to the image (`alignleft`, `alignright`, etc.).
 * **ulclass, liclass, aclass**: CSS classes for the list, list items, and links.
 * **parent**: ID, slug/path, or `current` to choose the parent page. Default: `
   current`.
 * **size**: Image size for thumbnails (`thumbnail`, `medium`, `large`, `full`, 
   or custom size). Default: `thumbnail`.

Examples:

Example 1: Order the child pages by publish date in descending order:
 [listchildpages
aclass=”” ifempty=”No child pages” orderby=”publish_date” order=”desc” displayimage
=”no”]

### Here are our child pages:

    ```
    [/listchildpages]
    ```

Example 2: Order the child pages by title in ascending order with the page’s featured
image aligned left:
 [listchildpages orderby=”title” order=”asc” displayimage=”yes”
align=”alignleft”]

### Here are our child pages:

    ```
    [/listchildpages]
    ```

Example 3: Target a specific parent page by ID and use medium-sized images:
 [listchildpages
parent=”123″ displayimage=”yes” size=”medium”]

### Resources

    ```
    [/listchildpages]
    ```

Example 4: Target a parent page by slug and show full-size featured images:
 [listchildpages
parent=”about/company” displayimage=”yes” size=”full”]

### Team Sections

    ```
    [/listchildpages]
    ```

Example 5: Explicitly set the parent as the current page and use large images:
 [
listchildpages parent=”current” displayimage=”yes” size=”large”]

### Subpages

    ```
    [/listchildpages]
    ```

The shortcode accepts all of the Order and Orderby Parameters listed within the 
[WordPress class reference](https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Order_.26_Orderby_Parameters).

## Installation

 1. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.

## FAQ

### How can I add a description for each child page?

Edit the child page and you’ll find an excerpt section where you can enter a description
that will be published on the list.

### How can I enable featured images on my site?

Within your functions.php file, look for the add_theme_support post-thumbnails line
and add page to the array. Or if you don’t have that line, you can just add it:

    ```
    add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails', array( 'post', 'page' ) );
    ```

### How can I modify the output?

There are additional class fields for the unordered list tag (ulclass), list item
tag (liclass), and the anchor tag (aclass). You can modify the output utilizing 
your theme’s CSS.

### What happens if I deactivate or uninstall the plugin?

Nothing in the database is stored or removed. The plugin has no settings, options,
custom tables, or uninstall routine. Deactivate or delete it and your pages, excerpts,
and featured images stay as they are. Shortcodes left in content will simply stop
rendering until the plugin is activated again.

All the previous plugins that solved this challenge are all dead or not maintained.
