    Hi, everyone, I'm wanting to do something that is apparently past my coding savvy at the moment.

    Specifically, I want a page, much like "blog" does for posts, listing all posts in reverse chronological order, to list all child pages that I will sub under it, the parent page.

    For example, say I have a page called "Guides." It's located at blog.spurres.net/guides. Then I create the following pages as children of Guides:

    blog.spurres.net/guides/technical
    blog.spurres.net/guides/mechanical
    blog.spurres.net/guides/electrical

    etc.

    Look, I don't know how to go about this at all. And the results all I've read so far from Google search haven't helped me achieve it. Could someone help? I hope I'm understood.

    PS: I might be able to manage the styling but if the styling can be added, I'm looking a Pinterest-style or Pocket-style masonry grid to present the pages. Basically, I'd like to show the featured image, the child page title, the date when the page is created, the author of the page, and the parent of the page, in this case, Guides.

    Thanks.

    Hi KB,

    This tutorial should get you what you want:

    Customize Genesis Site Map Page

    This shows you how to create a new archive page in your child theme that you can edit to only display the list of pages and their child pages.

    Hope this helps!
