| May 4, 2021 at 14:56 | comment | added | Daryl Roberts | I have accepted your method as it was very helpful, but had to do something a little different to get it to work how I needed. My working code has been added to the OP | |

| Apr 28, 2021 at 14:05 | comment | added | Daryl Roberts | I have added my updated code to the OP, the $episodetitle is actually in a foreach statement, so there would be multiple pages which need to be created for each output. | |
| Apr 28, 2021 at 12:25 | comment | added | MMK | yeah because you are passing one title $episodetitle. otherwise, it will create multiple pages under the same name. | |
| Apr 28, 2021 at 12:23 | comment | added | Daryl Roberts | So this now just creates 1 page and HTML after the exit no longer displays, will try turning it into a function instead unless you have any other ideas | |
| Apr 28, 2021 at 11:56 | comment | added | MMK | check now, i have added exit statement after insertion. wp_insert_post($seasonepisode); exit; | |

| Apr 28, 2021 at 11:25 | comment | added | Daryl Roberts | thanks but still creating an infinite loop of pages | |
| Apr 28, 2021 at 11:09 | comment | added | MMK | i have updated the code, incorrect $parent->the_post(); it should have been "$children->the_post();" | |

| Apr 28, 2021 at 11:06 | comment | added | MMK | ok let me check | |
| Apr 28, 2021 at 10:25 | comment | added | Daryl Roberts | Changing to $children->have_posts() and $child->the_post() just creates an infinite loop, any thoughts? | |
| Apr 27, 2021 at 14:24 | comment | added | MMK | let me check... | |
| Apr 27, 2021 at 14:23 | comment | added | Daryl Roberts | @MKK the alternative method throws no errors, but it is creating duplicate pages each time the page is refreshed | |
| Apr 27, 2021 at 14:23 | comment | added | MMK | $parent->have_posts() sorry can you replace this with $children->have_posts() | |
| Apr 27, 2021 at 14:13 | comment | added | Daryl Roberts | Thanks, I have tried the first updated code, but get the following errors: Notice: Undefined variable: parent Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function have_posts() on null | |
| Apr 27, 2021 at 14:03 | comment | added | MMK | yes, I have updated the first code to cater if there are no children. So basically we query children of the current page if there are some children then we start the loop and start matching titles. otherwise, if there are no children then simply a page is being added in else condition. | |

| Apr 27, 2021 at 13:09 | comment | added | Daryl Roberts | Thanks, I have updated the code as suggested in my original post, however pages aren't being created, in your first code, will this only create pages if there are already child pages under the current page? | |
