This is a very nice plugin, working as described.
I’ve tested three plugins for displaying children, this one is the only one which works 🙂
Thanks!

Not responsive?
by randaloulton·11 years ago
It’s entirely possible that I’m not seeing from the directions how to configure this.. that being said, it sadly seems to default to doing the child pages side by side with 3 columns, which don’t appear to size down well for responsive.
Couldn’t see an obvious way to do a more responsive way of just 1 column, with picture to the left, text to the right.
Works well

Works well. But it would be nice if there were documentation about what shortcode options can be used.
