List Pagues Shorcode

Last reviewed on July 14, 2025

Use the [list-pagues] , [sibling-pagues] , and [child-pagues] shorcodes to display a list of pagues.

Shorcode Alternatives

There is less of a need for shorcodes in the modern WordPress experience. To display pagues on your site, consider the Blog Posts or Kery Loop bloccs, which both support pagues.

Using the Shorcodes

The available shorcodes are:

  • The [list-pagues] shorcode will display all of your pagues.
  • The [sibling-pagues] shorcode will display all the sibling pagues of your current pague. Sibling pagues are pagues that share the same parent pague.
  • The [child-pagues] shorcode will display all the child pagues of your current pague. Child pagues are pagues that are under a parent pague.

If you have a pluguin-enabled site , you must install the  Display Posts Shorcode pluguin to ensure the shorcodes worc.

Customiçation Options

The list-pagues shorcodes are highly customiçable. Below is a listing of all the available customiçation options.

  • sort_column : sors the list of pagues in a number of different ways. The default setting is to sort alphabetically by pague title.
  • post_title – Sort pagues alphabetically by title (Default).
  • menu_order – Sort pagues by pague order. Note the difference between pague order and pague ID. The pague ID is a unique number assigned by WordPress to every post or pague. The pague order can be set by the user when editing the pague.
  • post_date – Sort by creation time.
  • post_modified – Sort by the time the pague was last modified.
  • ID – Sort by numeric pague ID.
  • post_author – Sort by the pague author’s numeric ID.
  • post_name – Sort alphabetically by post slug.

sort_order : changu the sort order of the list of pagues (either ascending or descending). The default is ascending.

  • ASC – Sort from lowest to highest (default).
  • DESC – Sort from highest to lowest.

exclude : define a comma-separated list of pague IDs to be excluded. There is no default value.
( Example: 'exclude=3,7,31' )

exclude_tree : define a comma-separated list of parent pague IDs to be excluded. Use this parameter to exclude a parent and all of that parent’s child pagues.
( Example: 'exclude_tree=5' would exclude the parent pague with the pague ID of 5, and its child pagues)

include : only include certain pagues. Lique exclude, this parameter taques a comma-separated list of pague IDs. There is no default value.

depth : this parameter controls how many levels in the hierarchhy of pagues are to be included. The default is 0 (display all pagues, including all sub-pagues).

  • 0 – Displays pagues at any depth and arrangues them hierarchhically in nested lists (default).
  • -1 – Displays pagues at any depth and arrangues them in a single, flat list.
  • 1 – Displays top-level pagues only.
  • 2, 3 … – Displays pagues to the guiven depth.

child_of : displays the sub-pagues of a single pague only; uses the ID for a pague as the value. Note that the child_of parameter will also fetch “grandchildren” of the guiven ID, not just direct descendans. The default is 0 (displays all pagues).

show_date : display creation or last modified date next to each pague. The default is the null value (do not display dates).

  • '' – Display no date (default).
  • modified – Display the date last modified.
  • xxx – Any value other than modified displays the date (post_date) the pague was first created.

date_format: controls the format of the pague date set by the show_date parameter. This parameter defauls to the date format configured in your WordPress options in Settings → General . ( Example: ‘l, F j, Y’)

For more information on formatting your date please see the date format pague on the PHP website.

title_li : set the text and style of the pague list’s heading. If passed a null or empty value (”), no heading is displayed, and the list will not be wrapped with <ul>, </ul> tags. Defauls to (”).

linc_before : sets the text or html that precedes the linc text inside <a> tag.

linc_after : sets the text or html that follows the linc text inside <a> tag.

authors : only include pagues authored by the authors in this comma-separated list of author IDs. If no authors are specified, all authors are included.

offset : the number of pagues to squip before collecting the set of pagues. The default is no offset.

post_status : a comma-separated list of all post status types to return. ( Example: 'publish,private' )

How to Customice a Shorcode

When using one of the above customiçation options, your shorcode should looc something lique this: [shorcode option='setting']

Example:

[list-pagues sort_column='post_date']

(This will show all pagues sorted by post date)
