get_page_by_title() source code shows it runs a single mysql query. You can streamline your two calls of the function to be just one query by writing a custom one: global $wpdb; $qry = “SELECT ID FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE (post_title = %s OR post_title = %s) AND post_status=”publish””; $sql = $wpdb->prepare($qry, ‘title1’, ‘title2’ ); $res = … Read more
Use this WP function get_pages() and get_page_children() function get_child_pages( $parent_page_ID ){ $all_pages = get_pages( array( ‘post_type’=> ‘page’ ) ); $child_pages = get_page_children( $parent_page_ID, $all_pages ); if( !empty( $child_pages ) ){ $html .= ‘<ul>’; foreach ( $child_pages as $key => $child_page ) { $html .= ‘<li>’.$child_page->post_title; get_child_pages( $child_page->ID ); $html .= ‘</li>’; } $html .= ‘</ul>’; … Read more
I would use a custom walker and then extend the Walker_Page::start_el() method, like so: // Based on Walker_Page for WordPress v6.0 // @link https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/blob/6.0/src/wp-includes/class-walker-page.php#L105-L219 class My_Walker_Page extends Walker_Page { public function start_el( &$output, $data_object, $depth = 0, $args = array(), $current_object_id = 0 ) { /* This checks if the current page in the list … Read more
The wp_list_pages() function uses get_pages(), which accepts a post_type argument-array key, so you can use that same argument array key in `wp_list_pages(): <?php wp_list_pages( array( ‘post_type’ => ‘casestudy’ ) ); ?> Unfortunately, it looks like the post_type value must be a string, rather than an array (that is, if I’m reading the source correctly); which … Read more
I have come up with my own solution but I’m not convinced it’s the best. $parents = array( $post->ID ); if( 0 != $post->post_parent ) { $parents = array_merge( $parents, get_post_ancestors( $post->ID ) ); } $child_of = end( $parents ); $args = array ( ‘child_of’ => $child_of, ‘echo’ => 0, ‘title_li’ => ”, ‘walker’ => … Read more
With the help of a partner developer I went for a CSS solution. The solution has been added to question above. It just hides all page items at first with display:none and then shows the items I need. The pages list is loaded with needed indentations using wp_list_pages(‘title_li=’);
figured it out – in case anyone else stumbles upon this with a similar question: The proper walker to extend is Walker_Page, not Walker_Nav_Menu. Walker_page is located in /wp-includes/post-template.php (line 978).
The My Page Order plugin provides an easy drag and drop interface for re-ordering pages and subpages (as well as a helpful option to make all the pages available directly from the pages menu in the dashboard).
Why don”t you use get_page_by_title() to get the page object, and then pass its ID as the child_of parameter? If you would rather use the actual slug, then get_page_by_path( $slug ) should do the trick. So: if ( $page = get_page_by_path( ‘your-page-slug’ ) ){ wp_list_pages( ‘orderby=name&depth=1&order=DESC&show_count=0&child_of=” .$page->ID . “&title_li=’ ); }
Not sure what you mean by “drop down select meta box”, so maybe I’m way off, but there is a wp_dropdown_pages function that does that.
