 * I found this from 2 years ago: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/show-pages-child-parent-sibling/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/show-pages-child-parent-sibling/)
 * Is this built-in yet? I don’t want it to require custom PHP.

 * Hi there,
 * there is no UI included for child pages.
 * The add_filter function that Sam provided is all that is required to include 
   the shortcode argument now. No need to edit the plugins files as per the first
   part of his reply.

 * OK, thanks. So is there a reason this logic isn’t included by default?
 * Plus, I think his code would only work for Page post type, not other (e.g. custom)
   post types that are hierarchical.
 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/page-list/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/page-list/)
   has a bunch of nice logic but yours has better designed output

 * His snippet actually doesn’t work because the `wp_show_posts_shortcode_args` 
   filter only passes `$args`, not the second `$settings` arg.
