let me know if you have any issues with that one… I have used a similar one called Dagon Desgin list subpages for many years… http://www.dagondesign.com/articles/list-subpages-plugin-for-wordpress/
but they look similar…
I had no luck with the page list plugin then it hit me I wasn’t trying to show pages but posts.
Using wp_list_pages(‘title_li=’) probably need something that gets posts http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts
But the codex may be different since they are not listed under the pages or posts tab in admin so I am not sure how they work.
they are custom post types… not sure about the one you selected, but with the one I listed, you just put the shortcode on the parent page and it will auto list the sub pages…
This does assume I made the custom post types we use hierarchical, but 99% sure I did… I can try to look later and see…
okay, I have removed the general FAQ… now have two How To and Troubleshooting…
The main FAQ page is separated into two columns – one for each of above… they are auto populated when new faq pages are added.. just select how-to or troubleshooting as the parent when creating…
additionally,the How To faq page also just auto populates a list of its faqs as does the Troubleshooting faq page…
so feedback welcome…
btw, I made a couple minor mods to the page list plugin you had installed – it had hardcoded some html elements I wanted differently…
Looks like that is working great. I agree with the removal of the General FAQs page.
I added a quick troubleshooting page I can’t find the Simple:Press Plugins and it populated the parent pages just fine (well after clearing browser cache)
Very cool. I will have some questions on that plugin page too but that’s probably best for a new topic here.
That brings up a good point… since we are running wp super cache on that site, the main faq pages are cached… they may take some time to get updated… I manually went in and deleted the cached pages and they show fine now…
but we need to think about how to handle the cache for pages like this… maybe exclude on these pages?
any page that gets updated from the wp admin gets the cache cleared automatically…
My opinion… For now I would just turn off any caching plugin. Once it starts being used more then it can be turned on. The goal right now is to get more contributors anything that can be done to make it easier for someone to contribute and see their results or links to their posts the better.
well, we are not going to turn it off globally if thats what you mean… already seen improved loads here and on codex… but I agree on the three faq pages – at least for now…
actually, long term a simple plugin for super cache could clear it auto… hmmm….
Not talking about turning it off globally just on the codex site. A plugin for simple press here won’t make any difference on the codex site.
the codex and support site are two distinct wp installs… both running on the same server… so yes, performance on one will affect the other…
