Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about List Child Pages Shortcode

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

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' ) );

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.

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.
