This plugin adds the ability to put a tag in your page entry and have it display a list of pages. By deafult it will 
show the subpages of the page that it is on, but it will accept any of the options the 
<a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_pages" rel="nofollow ugc"><code>wp_list_pages</code></a> template tag 
will except <code>title_li</code> and <code>echo</code>. It is very simple to use, just put <code>[xls]</code> in the entry for your page where you want the list to appear.
There is one option in addition to the <code>wp_list_pages</code> ones. Specifying a <code>css_class</code> will override the default of 
 xls_list for the class of the surrounding <code>ul</code>.
It supports multiple uses of the tag with different options on one page.
Here are a few examples of valid tags:
<pre><code>[xls depth=2]
</code></pre>
Shows two levels of the subpages of the current page.
<pre><code>[xls child_of=10 exclude="13, 15, 33"]
</code></pre>
Shows all children of the page with id 10, excluding pages 13, 15, and 33.
<pre><code>[xls child_of="0" show_date="modified"]
</code></pre>
Shows all pages, and shows the last modified date of each page.
Check the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_pages" rel="nofollow ugc"><code>wp_list_pages</code></a> documentation for all of the possible options.

Xavin's List Subpages

I know it hasn't been updated for some time but I have been using it for many years and currently running it on WordPress 4.3.1 without any issues.
Such a simple yet useful concept and this plugin does it well. Listing the sub pages of a page inside itself in a bullet list with a shortcode.

This plugin adds the ability to put a shortcode tag in any static page or post and have it display an excerpt from your latest blog post.
There are no settings or options.
It generates markup like this, which you can style as desired:
<pre><code><div class='latest-post'>
<a href='http://www.mysite.ca/blog/post'>Look ma, no hands!</a>
Today I rode a bicycle &hellip;<a href="http://www.mysite.ca/blog/post">Continue reading &rarr;</a>
</div>
</code></pre>

Get Latest Post
