  Hello sailo,

  I find the code:

  [blog post_type="page" post_parent="16" posts_per_page="15" paging="yes" image_width="150" image_height="65" excerpt="yes" excerpt_length="13" show_date="no" author_link="no" comments_link="no"]

  I hope it helps.

  That page is created with the blog shortcode:

  http://para.llel.us/themes/mingle-wp/shortcodes/blog/

  It pulls the child pages of a single page (as the blog shortcode allows) and displays them as blog posts with most of the content disabled (comments, date, categories, read more…) leaving only the title and description.

  Sorry I’m not clear on the use of ‘post_parent=”"‘? I have a top level page called Services which has 8 children. On the Services page I’d like to display these 8 children in the manner shown here and when I use the code as above, I can only get a page list of the top level pages and not 8 children. How is post parent referenced?

  Can someone also post what the portfolio example code used in the 3 portfolios on the demo site are please?

  Thanks

  The post_parent parameter needs only the ID of the parent page. The one other requirement is the post_type must be set to “page”. Below is an example from the demo site of the shortcode used in the “theme features” page:

  [blog post_type="page" post_parent="16" posts_per_page="15" paging="yes" image_width="150" image_height="65" excerpt="yes" excerpt_length="13" show_date="no" author_link="no" comments_link="no"]
