php - Wordpress List Pages and their Post Thumbnails -

needing on listing pages have in wordpress , 1st depth child sub pages, post thumbnails (or featured image). also, want exclude specific pages being listed

i looked @ wp_list_pages(); see no way of including post thumbnails

edit: andy, can't find appropriate example of how use code so. sorry, green php , using wordpress.

i think looking for:

$pages = array(); $exclude = '1,2,3'; // page id of pages want exclude  $args = array(     'exclude' => $exclude,     'parent' => 0,     'post_type' => 'page',     'post_status' => 'publish' );  $parents = get_pages( $args );  foreach( $parents $parent ) {     $parent -> thumbnail = get_the_post_thumbnail( $parent -> id, 'thumbnail');      $args = array(         'exclude' => $exclude,         'child_of' => $parent -> id,         'number' => 1,         'post_type' => 'page',         'post_status' => 'publish'     );      $child = get_pages( $args );      $pages[] = $parent;     if( count( $child ) )     {         $child[0] -> thumbnail = get_the_post_thumbnail( $child[0] -> id, 'thumbnail');         $pages[] = $child[0];     } }  print_r( $pages );
