syncbox

doesn’t work for me, either. Because I cannot get ordering by the timestamp to reverse, I thought to control things by controlling the id of the post added to the category.

However, no joy.

Help?

Don’t you wish those script/css gurus at pvii would make some cool wordpress widgets? I’m all the time bugging them to take a look at WP… I’d sure pay for my favorite pvii menu extensions ported to wordpress plugins!

This does the same thing (use in sidebar) to list child pages:

<ul>
<?php 

//CHECK TO SEE IF PAGE IS A CHILD PAGE OR HAS CHILDREN
	if($post->post_parent) {
	// page is a child
	wp_list_pages('depth=2&sort_column=menu_order&title_li=&child_of='.$post->post_parent);

	}
//page is a parent
	elseif (wp_list_pages("child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0")) {
	wp_list_pages('depth=1&sort_column=menu_order&title_li=&child_of='.$post->ID);
	}
?>
</ul>

but still has the issue of displaying the siblings (and their child pages) which is a mess.

If any one knows how to exclude siblings of the parent ($post->ID) that would be SO awesome!

This is a great start on what I want. Now what I’d like is to NOT display the siblings of the parent page. for example, if I have:

Nuts
Vegetables
Fruit

and Fruit has child pages of

Apples
oranges
kiwi

What I currently get (using the menu from the updated version of the theme mentioned above) is:

Nuts
Vegetables
Fruit
apples
oranges
kiwi

And I assume that if Nuts and Vegetables have child pages, they display as well (on all pages)

I find it SO hard to believe that after all these years, no one involved in changing WordPress has thought of a way to display the child pages of a parent in the sidebar (while on parent OR child pages) without also displaying every other page in the site.

Wouldn’t this be a basic necessity for the average site?

I had a script that worked for v2.1 but it no longer works.
