[Support request] Show only post parents – Show only post children

Hi Juan,

by “post parents” do you mean Parent Pages? (static page that have child pages)

IF so, we’ll need to use wp_show_posts_shortcode_args.

But to be able to use it properly you need to either use the beta version – https://wpshowposts.com/wp-show-posts-1-2-0/

Or make this change in your wp-show-posts.php as Tom suggests here –
https://github.com/tomusborne/wp-show-posts/commit/286caf1164db8b6b6f38b85d3a011b519a27f4de

and then do this filter for the list you want to display post parents only.

add_filter( 'wp_show_posts_shortcode_args', function( $args, $settings ) {
    if ( 1234 === $settings['list_id'] ) {
        $args['post_type'] = 'page';
	$args['post_parent'] = '0';
    }

    return $args;
}, 20, 2 );

Change 1234 to the WPSP list ID you want this to apply to.

For the second one which lists child pages only:

Do you want to specify parents? Or you want to display child pages of ALL parents?

If it’s for a specific parent, How would you like to determine the parent? Is it the current page where the child page listing will be displayed?

Let us know.
