List Child Pages Shortcode

I could not find an easy plugin that enabled me to use a shortcode that would enable me to publish a list of child pages under a parent page. So, I built one. Usage The shortcode is [listchildpages]...[/listchildpages]. It accepts several attributes:

• ifempty: Message or HTML to show if no child pages exist.
• order: ASC or DESC. Default: DESC.
• orderby: Field to order by. Default: publish_date (maps to date). Also accepts published (maps to date), title, name, modified, menu_order, ID, rand, type, and author.
• displayimage: Show featured image (yes|no). Also accepts y, true, 1, and on. Default: no.
• align: CSS class to apply to the image (alignleft, alignright, etc.).
• ulclass, liclass, aclass: CSS classes for the list, list items, and links.
• parent: ID, slug/path, or current to choose the parent page. Default: current.
• size: Image size for thumbnails (thumbnail, medium, large, full, or custom size). Default: thumbnail.

Examples: Example 1: Order the child pages by publish date in descending order: `[listchildpages aclass="" ifempty="No child pages" orderby="publish_date" order="desc" displayimage="no"] Here are our child pages: [/listchildpages]Example 2: Order the child pages by title in ascending order with the page's featured image aligned left:[listchildpages orderby="title" order="asc" displayimage="yes" align="alignleft"] Here are our child pages: [/listchildpages]Example 3: Target a specific parent page by ID and use medium-sized images:[listchildpages parent="123" displayimage="yes" size="medium"] Resources [/listchildpages]Example 4: Target a parent page by slug and show full-size featured images:[listchildpages parent="about/company" displayimage="yes" size="full"] Team Sections [/listchildpages]Example 5: Explicitly set the parent as the current page and use large images:[listchildpages parent="current" displayimage="yes" size="large"] Subpages [/listchildpages]` The shortcode accepts all of the Order and Orderby Parameters listed within the WordPress class reference.
