I do this quite often, actually, if I’m understanding your issue correctly. If you use Appearance > menus, and create your navigation (with dropdown/children), then pull in the Custom Menu widget into the sidebar, you can use CSS to handle the rest. Basically, you just set the main navigation in the header to how the … Read more
If I’m understainding you correctly, you’ve hardcoded the wp_list_pages() function in to the widgetized area of the theme’s sidebar, and then, when you add a widget using WordPress’ back end Appearance->Widgets then you no longer see the output of the wp_list_pages() function? If that’s the case, then I think we’ve found your problem. If code … Read more
You need to look at get_ancestors() to get the top level parent of a page. Just a note, for reliability, use get_queried_object() (or even better $GLOBALS[‘wp_the_query’]->get_queried_object()) to get the current post/page object on singular pages, $post can be quite unreliable You can try the following in your shortcode: $post = $GLOBALS[‘wp_the_query’]->get_queried_object(); // Make sure the … Read more

If I understand your question correctly, you try to just get the children and ignore the parent. Dont know where post_child => 0 comes from but I’d use post_parent => $parent_id instead. In that case you have to catch the parent ID before you do any new queries. If you do something like this at … Read more
If you’re loading additional posts/pages, it’s better to use a new WP_Query instance. query_posts is only for modifying the main query. As for the dates, store them in a custom field in the format yyyy-mm-dd. You’ll use php’s date to get the current date, refer to WP_Query’s custom field parameters for how to query and … Read more
Bainternet’s solution will definitely work, but it you want to use the page slug instead of ID you could put this in your functions.php file: // GET PAGE ID FROM THE SLUG, HELPER FUNCTION FOR IS_TREE function get_ID_by_slug($page_slug) { $page = get_page_by_path($page_slug); if ($page) { return $page->ID; } else { return null; } } // … Read more
