[Resolved] Create a page with a listing of parent pages with thumbs

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The issue here is that the user wanted to list their child posts on their parent archive listing.

Solution:

To get this clear, you want to list out the parent post and their respective child posts under each parent like this.
Parent A
--Child 1
--Child 2
Parent B
-- Child 3
--Child 4

If that is the case then what you will need to do is to follow the instructions below.
1. Create a custom Archive for the Parent CPT by going to Toolset -> WordPress Archives.
2. Go to View->Add New and create a new view that will list the child post.
3. On the child post view you are going to add a query filter for the post relationship and set it up like my screenshot.
4. Go back to your custom archive and then add your child view to that custom archive.

Once you have done this your Archive should be listing out your posts in the example i've added above.

Hi, as in title I would like to create a sort of listing like the standard wordpress tags and categories archives but using child pages with thumbs listed into a specific page. Is it possible?

As although if it may be easy to do I'm not an expert can you also suggest me someone to hire?

Thanks

Hi Massimo,

Thank you for getting in touch.

You listing page, where would it be listing out the items ? Also is it listing our the child posts or just the Parent posts?

Could you provide a little more details on this ? If there is an example that you are working with please let me know.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,
Here's an example: this hidden link it is a page and inside you will see two rows with two links at other two child pages.

I would like to make that page hidden link listing the other two and even more in a layout similar to for i.e. tags archive like this hidden link with Toolset as don't want to add another plugin.

Do you think it's possible?

I saw this guide https://toolset.com/documentation/getting-started-with-toolset/customize-post-archives/ but just in case with similar hints I can solve what I'm looking for, as written before I'm looking also for someone that can make it for me. looking on Fiverr didn't find anyone that it's capable to work with Toolset.

Thanks for your patience
massimo
