 * Hi – great plugin. Searched previous entries and had a couple of people with 
   similar queries but didn’t quite understand the solution.
 * I’m trying to A-Z all CHILD pages of a specific page using just the shortcode.
   
   I’m using the [a-z-listing] shortcode and can’t find any params which would allow
   me to ignore top level pages.
 * Do I need to use the a theme template and modify the query (happy to do so) –
   just wanted to check before I do the additional work.
 * As a feature request, if this doesn’t exist, it would be nice to do something
   like:
 * [a-z-listing parent=”current”]
 * which would then just show the A-Z for child pages one level below.
 * Thanks in advance,
 * Alex

 * Hi, presently the plugin is set up to display children pages of a top-level page
   when:
 * – the post-type selected for display is “page” (this is set by default)
    – the
   a-z-listing shortcode is on a child page of that top-level page – the a-z-listing
   is NOT on a top-level page – the children to be shown share the same top-level
   ancestor with the page upon which the shortcode is used.
 * The way it currently works is a throw-back to the requirements I had when developing
   the initial functionality for a client site I haven’t developed a good plan to
   re-work it to be more friendly, without breaking sites already using it as is,
   yet.
