Adding a <span></span> in the title_li

bump

Closest I can find is the link_before and link_after parameter
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Template_Tags/wp_list_pages

Would make this <?php wp_list_pages('title_li=link_before=<span>&link_after=</span>'); ?>

Unfortunately these parameters are Version 2.7.0 or newer.

Would display something like:

<ul>
<li class="page_item page-item-2">
<span><a href="#" title="About">About</a></span></li>
<li class="page_item page-item-3">
<span><a href="#" title="#">LinkTwoPageTwo</a></span></li>
</ul>

I will try this… Thank you (=

Unfortunately this is not processing correctly.
I do have the latest version of WordPress.

Was this expression written correctly?

<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=link_before=<span>&link_after=</span>'); ?>

Here is what you need ??

Terrian was close to being correct. The code below works.

<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=<span>&link_after=</span>'); ?>

The post by jbjweb is full of errors. I do not suggest using that technique.

Maybe not the best way to do it, but this will work:

<ul>
<?php
	$pages = wp_list_pages('echo=0&title_li=');
	$pages = str_replace('">', '"><span>', $pages);
	$pages = str_replace('<span><a', '<a', $pages);
	$pages = str_replace('</a>', '</span></a>', $pages);
	echo $pages;
?>
</ul>

It’ll give you list items like this:

<li><a href="" title=""><span>Link</span></a></li>

wow good responses,
I’ll let you know. Thanks (=

Hello, I don’t know if still someone is interested in this issue, but i figured out, that it only works if you put “title_li” at the end, and not
in the beginning as terriann suggested. What Dap1 proposed puts only one <span> at the begin and one at the end but not arround every link.

Here the code that works:

<?php wp_list_pages('link_before=<span>&link_after=</span>&title_li='); ?>

Well, maybe I got the question wrong, my code gives you a <span> arround every element (also subpages), maybe the question was only how to put a <span> arround the title element as <h2>Pages</h2>
