query_posts for child pages

Question

I am having problems looking for info on the codex on how to query for child pages. It seems to be missing the reference for the available parameters

Answer 1

Yeah they've moved the parameters to WP_Query. You're looking for the post_parent parameter.

Answer 2

All the parameters for query_posts are listed in WP_Query page.

However, there's a function get_children() for get child pages that you should use instead. Its parameters are similar to query_posts.

Answer 3

<?php
$pages = WP_Query( 
    array(
        'post_parent' => $parent_id,
        'post_type' => 'page'
    )
);
// code to display
