Newbie and wp_list_pages

<li><a href="./" accesskey="2"><strong>About us</strong></a><em> [2]</em></li>

Is what that look likes

unfortunately, your posted code is somehow distorted (containing <br /> tags etc) so it is impossible to check.

particular this part for (;$i<$limit;) { is certainly unidentifiable.

can you repost the code, please?

also, for any larger amounts of code, please use the https://wordpress.pastebin.com/ .

what exactly is the purpose of these variables:

$i = 6;
$j = 5;

Perhaps i am going the wrong way about what I am trying to do,

I have a list of pages in wordpress and i wish to make a navigation bar out of them, the navigation needs to look like this,

<li><a href="./" accesskey="2"><strong>About us</strong></a><em> [2]</em></li>

The code above is an adaptation of

https://www.wantusiak.com/wordpress/wordpress-modify-wp_list_pages

Sorry again if this is really obvious, and thanks for the help

<?php

				$my_pages = wp_list_pages('echo=0&title_li=&depth=1');

				$pieces = explode('"', $my_pages);
				$i = 6;
				$j = 5;
				$limit = count($pieces);
				for (;$i<$limit;) {
				$tmp1 = '><strong>'.$pieces[$j].'</strong></a></li>';
				$pieces[$i] = $tmp1;
				$i = $i+6;
				$j = $j+6;
				} 

				$tmp2 = implode('"',$pieces);

				echo $tmp2;
   				// echo "<!--".$tmp2."-->";

			?>
			</ul>

this line that controls the looping through your fragments:

for (;$i<$limit;) {

is actually ok.

however, the rest of the code is not quite clear to me.

where does you requirement come from:

the navigation needs to look like this,

<li><a href="./" accesskey="2"><strong>About us</strong></a><em> [2]</em></li>

is this accesskey="2" always the same?
is the link url supposed to be like this href="./" for all links?

as for the ‘strong’ – this could easily be styled using css.

basically, I dont know wordpress and as a project to learn it i was given an existing sites mark up to convert to wordpress, the css for the navigation focuses around the targeting of elements inside the strong tag,

Here is the css I need it to obey

Access key will change but can be in sequance, 1 – 6

#nav { float: right; list-style: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; }
  #nav li { float: left; margin-right: 1px; font-family: Impact, Charcoal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.8em; }
   #nav li a { display: block; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; padding-right: 4px; background: url(images/menu-bcg.png) 100% 0 no-repeat; text-transform: uppercase; }
    #nav li a strong { display: block; padding: 0 6px 0 10px; line-height: 30px; font-weight: normal; background: url(images/menu-bcg.png) 0 0 no-repeat; }
	#nav li a:hover,
	#nav li a.active { background-position: 100% -30px; border: 0px solid #000; }
    #nav li a:hover strong,
    #nav li a.active strong { background-position: 0 -30px; }
   #nav li em { position: absolute; left: -10001px; top: -10001px; }

Thanks again for the help

this turned out to be quite different from your linked tutorial:

https://wordpress.pastebin.com/uAZsuMGq

Thank you so much for your help,

Its working perfectly now, I am guessing this was a common enough error?

So in summary, what you done was take the pages array explode it, take the elements i need and disregard the rest, I think what I was doing was trying to keep the format that was returned and it messed up

Thanks again for your help

John

you are welcome ??

the code from the tutorial somehow got it all wrong – particular this line $tmp2 = implode('"',$pieces); which imploded all the pieces back into the starting state.

if this is sorted, please mark this thread as ‘resolved’.
