Overview
CC Child Pages displays WordPress child pages of any parent page in a responsive grid or list layout, making it easy to display hierarchical page structures, subpages and navigation.

Using it for parent pages with the [child_pages] shortcode and the widget for a hierarchical list of photo gallery pages. Works like a charm, great plugin, many thanks to Caterham Computing for the development.
Integrating the [child_pages] button with the blocks editor would be very high on my wishlist, including more of the available options.

I needed a plug-in to show the child pages on a front “overview” page for each section of my website, and this plug-in does so perfectly. Much easier to use and set up on the current version of WordPress than all of the other plug-ins I tried! (As an aside, it works GREAT with Oxygen Builder!)
