Hi,

Copied the template for pages (page.php and content-page.php) into my child theme.

Renamed them to page-faq.php and faqcontent-page.php.

Tried to place this code into both above at various locations:

<?php wpb_list_child_pages(); ?>

But get whitescreen.

I am trying to do this:

Can this code work?

thanks,

Hi there,

can't see an issue with the code - maybe worth testing the shortcode they provide on a standard Page with children. If that works then the code is good and the problem is with the child templates you have defined.

May i ask whats the need for the faq template ? Does it differ from a standard page

good question about the template,
I was going to ask, can I simply copy the template for pages (page.php and content-page.php) into my child theme. So not rename them to page-faq.php and faqcontent-page.php.

Then I can put the code in them and it will override the template in the parent theme?

thanks,

Thats correct but maybe using a Hook element to display the Child Page list where you need it would be simpler:
