I wanted to have a set of pages – a parent and sub-pages or child pages – that I could use as a separate menu down on the footer (for privacy, disclaimers, etc.).  The issue was, how to code WordPress to display them as a single list of pages.

First I tried this:

<ul>
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&include=416&depth=2'); ?>
</ul>

thinking that the “depth” parameter would pick up the children of 416.  But that didn’t work, and the only thing I could find that does work is:

<ul>
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&include=416'); ?>
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&child_of=416'); ?>
</ul>

Anybody  have a better solution?
