Listing current pages subp page in list items in the sidebar

Question

I'm wanting to list my current page's child pages as list items in the sidebar of my wordpress site.

So far I've been referencing the http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_list_pages

I'm unsure how to set it to show just my subpages, so far I have this:

<?php $args = array(
'depth'        => 0,
'show_date'    => '',
'date_format'  => get_option('date_format'),
'child_of'     => 0,
'exclude'      => '',
'include'      => '',
'title_li'     => __('Title'),
'echo'         => 1,
'authors'      => '',
'sort_column'  => 'menu_order, post_title',
'link_before'  => '',
'link_after'   => '',
'walker'       => '',
'post_type'    => 'page',
    'post_status'  => 'publish' 
 ); 

 wp_list_pages($args);

?>

It returns:

Title
  Home
   Child 1
   Child 2
  Sample Page

I'm just wanting the child pages (in this case 1 & 2). I don't want to show Home and Sample Page either.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

In this way you add in "exclude" parameter like this

'exclude' => '', // here add this page id you don't show in listing.

'exclude' => '2,4', like this

If you want only child pages you will use get_page_children() function.
