wp query to get child pages of current page

by

Can anyone please help me to with the wp_query.

I am making a template file/loop to create and archive page of the current page children pages.

This query needs to be automatic as I am using in on few pages.

This is my query below, but it just returns my posts instead of child pages.

<?php

$parent = new WP_Query(array(

    'post_parent'       => $post->ID,                               
    'order'             => 'ASC',
    'orderby'           => 'menu_order',
    'posts_per_page'    => -1

));

if ($parent->have_posts()) : ?>

    <?php while ($parent->have_posts()) : $parent->the_post(); ?>

        <div id="parent-<?php the_ID(); ?>" class="parent-page">                                

            <h1><a href="https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/60292/<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>

            <p><?php the_advanced_excerpt(); ?></p>

        </div>  

    <?php endwhile; ?>

<?php unset($parent); endif; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

Thanks in advance for any help.

You have to change child_of to post_parent and also add post_type => 'page':

WordPress codex Wp_query Post & Page Parameters

<?php

$args = array(
    'post_type'      => 'page',
    'posts_per_page' => -1,
    'post_parent'    => $post->ID,
    'order'          => 'ASC',
    'orderby'        => 'menu_order'
 );


$parent = new WP_Query( $args );

if ( $parent->have_posts() ) : ?>

    <?php while ( $parent->have_posts() ) : $parent->the_post(); ?>

        <div id="parent-<?php the_ID(); ?>" class="parent-page">

            <h1><a href="https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/60292/<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>

            <p><?php the_advanced_excerpt(); ?></p>

        </div>

    <?php endwhile; ?>

<?php endif; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
