I am trying to: I am attempting to get the pages that house my weekly modules (i.e "Dating w/ LOVE + Logic! Week 1") to display in a list on my "Weekly Modules" page. I've not been successful in doing so.
Link to a page where the issue can be seen:
hidden link
You will need to use these credentials (don't judge me) to log in as this is being set up for my membership site.
I expected to see:
The list, which is only one Page/Module for now under the heading "Weekly Modules." I also noticed that when clicking on the link the actual module is an additional two steps away. Is there a way for me to make it where once I click on "Dating w/ LOVE + Logic! Week 1" it opens to the attachment?
Instead, I got:
What actually appears along with the Title and Link is seemingly every single link on my website. Also, too many hops until my end user actually gets to view the module.
Hi Veronica
I'm not sure what you are aiming to do.
You have the following hierarchy of static WordPress pages:
Dashboard for Dating w/ LOVE + Logic!
-- Weekly Modules
-- -- Dating w/ LOVE + Logic! Week 1
You created a View to list pages (all pages), and then you inserted that View onto the Weekly Modules page, which therefore shows all of the pages on your site as links.
If you wanted to show only the sub-pages of the Weekly Module page (where you insert the View) then you could add a Query Filter so that it only shows pages for whom the current page is parent, i.e. show child pages (see screenshot).
I've done that on your site, delete it if it is not what you require.
(I also added some paragraph tags around the wpv-post-title shortcode so they appear on separate lines.)
See the following for details:

Thank you Nigel! What you did definitely satisfies most of what I was looking to do. I have a question, is there a way to remove/hide "Weekly Modules" (see attachment) as an item in the list view? I will have 3 other columns with content so I can't make the parent the actual Dashboard.
