How to display child page from specific parent page in homepage?

Below code (Template for show child pages with title and excerpt) might useful to you. if you are using wordpress category->post instead of worpdress page, change the wp_query accordingly. You can get more information about wp_query : http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query Here's the template code: <?php /** Template Name: show child pages */ get_header(); ?> <div id="container"> <div id="content" role="main"> <?php get_template_part( 'loop', 'page' ); global $post; $args=array( "post_parent" => $post->ID, 'paged' => get_query_var( 'page' ), 'post_type' => 'page' ); // The Query $the_query = new WP_Query( $args ); // The Loop echo "<ul>"; while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); echo '<li class="chiled-title">'; the_title(); the_excerpt(); echo '</li>'; endwhile; echo "<ul/>"; ?> <?php if ( $wp_query->max_num_pages > 1 ) : ?> <div id="nav-below" class="navigation"> <div class="nav-previous"><?php next_posts_link( __( '<span class="meta-nav">&larr;</span> Older posts', 'twentyten' ) ); ?></div> <div class="nav-next"><?php previous_posts_link( __( 'Newer posts <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span>', 'twentyten' ) ); ?></div> </div><!-- #nav-below --> <?php endif; ?> <?php // Reset Post Data wp_reset_postdata(); ?> </div><!-- #content --> </div><!-- #container --> <?php get_sidebar(); ?> <?php get_footer(); ?>

This should do it. <?php $pages = get_pages('child_of=199'); foreach($pages as $child) { ?> <h3><?php echo get_the_title($child->ID); ?></h3> <?php // This next line gets the full page of content // echo get_post_field('post_content', $child->ID); // This next line will cut the content off at 450 letters // With a read more link under it echo '<p>' . substr(get_post_field('post_content', $child->ID), 0, 450) . '</p>'; ?> <a href="<?php echo get_permalink( $child->ID ); ?>"> READ MORE </a> <?php } ?> Change "child_of=199" with the ID of the page you want to get the children of. There is a line that is commented out, that line will get the full page of content The line that is being used to get content will only get the first 450 letters. There has to be a better way to get content, as this pulls in the HTML and all - so if that first 450 letter happens to land in the middle of a image you will have broken text. I am sure a quick google search of "get post content by Id" should help with that part
