I want to list the child pages of the parent but don’t want to go any further e.g

Parent—->Child

But with the code below I get.

Parent—->Child—->Grandchild—->Great Grandchild etc…
```
<?php
  $children = wp_list_pages('title_li=&amp;child_of='.$post->ID.'&amp;echo=0');
  if ($children) { ?>
  <ul>
  <?php echo $children; ?>
  </ul>
  <?php } ?>
```
Could someone help me out please.

Try the “depth” parameter:

How exactly would I use the depth parameter?

If I use depth though, it shows all of the pages at that depth but I just want the child pages of the current page.

Try this:
```
<?php
  $children = wp_list_pages('title_li=&amp;child_of='.$post->ID.'&amp;echo=0&amp;depth=1');
  if ($children) { ?>
  <ul>
  <?php echo $children; ?>
  </ul>
  <?php } ?>
```

if I use this code it shows me only the first level of childs -no grandchilds – I’ve tested this the last 2minutes 😉
but you can’t copy and paste this code because the & get to &amp…
```
<?php
  $children = wp_list_pages('title_li=&amp;child_of='.$post->ID.'&amp;echo=0&amp;depth=1');
  if ($children) { ?>
  <ul>
  <?php echo $children; ?>
  </ul>
  <?php } ?>
```

oh I see what you mean. It does work but it still lists the grandchild pages.

The forum software changes & to & a m p;, so you can’t copy and paste the code.

I know how to change the &amp to & but renato/monika’s code doesn’t do what I want. It shows all of the pages at that depth even the ones not under the current parent.
What I need is code that I can put into my page template that only shows the 1st level of child pages under the current parent.
