First of all, never use query_posts, use WP_Query instead. To show 50 carachters of each one of the pages: <?php $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘page’, ‘post_parent’ => ‘6’, ‘order’=> ‘DESC’ ); $pages_returned = new WP_Query($args); while ( $pages_returned->have_posts()): $pages_returned->the_post(); ?> <div class=”page-excerpt”> <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1> <?php the_excerpt(); ?> </div> <?php endwhile; ?> Now for … Read more

I’m not sure exactly how you want ‘term_single’ formatted, but you can amend the below as required if it’s not quite what you are looking for. I’d also suggest not using the name $posts for your array, as I believe that WP has a global of the same name, so it could cause funkyness that … Read more
