GB Block & Parent Listing Page
18 replies · Started by Ian on September 21, 2020
Looking to build out a parent page to list "child" pages although technical, they are sitting in root but the idea is to style out something to show featured image, title and buttons on this parent page. Instead of doign it by hand, is there an easier way to build this out using GB Blocks with ACF perhaps?
What other ways can you suggest besides using ACF?
Any ideas?
Hi there,
Not with GB currently - we are working on ways to implement featured images.
Would a plugin like WP Show Posts help?

Thanks Leo. I have installed the free version to test to see if I need to purchase the paid version but I cannot seem to find a way to filter pages. How would I choose only specific pages to show in WP Show Posts? There has got to be a way to "tag" these with some taxonomy?
I believe this should work for pages:

Can you give that a shot?
Holy smokes Leo. You are on FIRE! Did not know there was a More Settings near the bottom. This worked perfectly!!!
Tough one to find :)
If you need them in fancy styles, then Cards module in the pro version is worth considering:

Nice, looking at the pro version right now! One last thing, is there a way to order the pages in a specific order that was entered into Post ID?
What if you choose No Order here?

Tried No Order and it seems to display the same order as Post ID. Any other ideas?
Wait a second. What is each page was given a Page Attribute Order? Which setting would follow this order?
So the pages don't display in the order you've added in the Post ID field when selecting No Order?
That is correct. It seems that No Order = Post ID from what I am seeing.
Still a little bit confused. So you've entered the page ID in the order you want, but it's not showing up the in the way you've entered?
Yes, I have entered the Page ID that I want listed but it looks like the sorting is defaulted to Ascending in number. I have entered a higher ID first but it is still listed last when I choose No Order.
