You are choosing to show ONLY posts that are drafts, is that correct?

Are the children and grandchildren also drafts?

… also it goes without saying to make sure that the Parent option is set to 'Current Page'.

Given how non-standard this whole approach is, I don’t think this is something that I would build into the core … it strikes me that this is something that may be better achieved with non-hierarchical posts and categories (or even custom taxonomies) …

However, the plugin has many hooks and filters – you could try adding something like the following to your theme’s functions.php:

function ccchildpages_show_any_type_of_child($args) {
    $args['post_type'] = 'any';

return $args;
}
add_filter( 'ccchildpages_query_args' ,'ccchildpages_show_any_type_of_child' );
add_filter( 'ccchildpages_list_pages_args' ,'ccchildpages_show_any_type_of_child' );

… I haven’t had the time to try this out, so I can’t say it will definitely work.

This should change the child post_type to be 'any' rather than being based on what is passed to the shortcode or the parent post_type.

Let me know if this helps, or at least gets a bit closer to what you want to do.

Hi.

I am not sure how you can create a post with a parent of a different post type? (Not that I have tried …)

Do you mean that you have various items listed in a custom menu?

Hi … the use_custom_thumbs does not accept a link to an image. It needs to be passed the name of a custom field which will hold the details of a custom image … this allows a different image to be used for each page (other than the featured image).

You need to set the image to be displayed in the named custom field for the pages that you want it to be displayed on.

The following is taken from https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/cc-child-pages/ :

[child_pages use_custom_thumbs="custom_cc_thumnail"]

… will replace the standard thumbnail with one specified in the value of the custom field custom_cc_thumnail (if it is set). The value of the custom_cc_thumnail custom field can either be set to the ID of the image attachment (using the Advanced Custom Fields plugin can make this much easier to use) or to the full URL of the image.

Sorry not to have answered sooner, but I have not been around for a while.

You would need to write some custom CSS with a media query to change the size of columns on smaller screens.

Add the following to the Custom CSS on the CC Child Pages Options page (Settings->CC Child Pages):

@media screen and (max-width: 480px) {
   .twocol .ccchildpage,
   .threecol .ccchildpage,
   .fourcol .ccchildpage {
        width: 98%;
        float: none;
   }
}

… change the value for max-width to whatever width you’d like the cut off point to be.

To hide just the “Read more…” link and still display the excerpt you would need to use:

[child_pages hide_more="true"]

Hi.

The plugin does not get any styling from the theme used on the site (other than some simple inheritance).

There is not currently a parameter to hide the page titles as the original purpose of this plugin was to display the page titles, and no-one has ever asked to hide them. I will put this idea on the list for future development.

In the meantime, the following CSS will hide the titles from being viewed:

.ccchildpage h3 {
    display:none;
}

You can either add this to your theme/child theme or can enter it in the Custom CSS box found in the dashboard at Settings -> CC Child Pages

Please let me know if this fixes the problem for you.

P.S. I am unable to look at your site as it is not on-line at present – http://only%20have%20locally%20right%20now/
