Hi Thanks for your reply.

I know this- it’s my client who is entering in these blog posts.

I already told her not to use word in the future but what’s done is done. Is there any way to fix these hundreds of posts that already exist?

Thanks for getting back to me. I tried all that and still nothing shows up. I am wondering if there is a step I skipped or if I am using the plugin incorrectly. I am trying to put the shortcode in a page within my site in order to display a list of posts within the same site.

Also it needed to be

<?php
$pages = get_pages(array(

and not
<?php $product_pages_args = array(

Thank you Ken and Chip. For some reason it doesn’t work with child of or depth but it works fine when i only do hierarchical.

It just returns

Array
(
)

The same thing I have been saying before… nothing shows up.

<?php  $product_pages_args = array(
	'meta_key' => '_wp_page_template',
	'meta_value' => 'products.php',
	'depth' => -1,
	'hierarchical' => 1,
	'child_of' => 0
);
$product_pages = get_pages($product_pages_args );
?><ul>
<?php  foreach ( $product_pages as $product_page ) {
	echo '<li><a href="' . get_permalink( $product_page->ID ) . '">' . $product_page->post_title  . '</a></li>';
}
?></ul>

returns no results.

You may not remember, but if you go back you will see that I tried

var_dump( $product_pages );

2 months ago as you suggested. The template absolutely exists but for some reason get_pages does not recognize it. Yet when I use wp_list_pages I get a list of the data I need, I just don’t want it in list-form and I can’t seem to style it in the CSS.

I am starting to really really hate wordpress!!

Wow thank you! I feel like I am so close!

wp_list_pages( $product_pages_args );

works, but

$product_pages = get_pages( $product_pages_args );

doesn’t work.

Very strange. I don’t know why I can’t use get_pages with this because after reading about get_pages for hours, it SHOULD work. I am a wordpress noob but I think part of it has to do that these are child pages, since when I used the same code on their parent pages, it worked fine. I tried playing around with “depth” and “hierarchial” but it didnt seem to help.

I am ok with using wp_list_pages, but I didn’t really want this in a list form. I guess I can just style it with css, unless there is a better way to do it.

Thanks to everyone who helped! You are good people to volunteer your time! 🙂

still nothing… Do I use “echo” for the second part?

<?php
$query = new WP_Query( array( 'meta_key' => '_wp_page_template', 'meta_value' => 'product.php'
?>

<div class="category-listing">

<a href="<?php echo get_page_link($page->ID) ?>"><?php echo $content ?></a>

<h4><?php echo $page->post_title ?></h4>
<p><?php echo get_post_meta($page->ID,'product_number',true); ?><br />
	<strong>List Price:</strong><?php echo get_post_meta($page->ID,'list_price',true); ?><br />
<strong>Our Price:</strong><?php echo get_post_meta($page->ID,'discount_price',true); ?></p>
<p><a href="<?php echo get_page_link($page->ID) ?>">More Information</a></p>
