How to stop parent pages from linking

Maybe two instances of the template tag, wp_list_pages():

wp_list_pages(‘child_of-8&title_li=Static Page 1 parent’);
wp_list_pages(‘child_of-15&title_li=Static Page 2 parent’);

use extended categories plugin, you can make a heading that isnt clickable and choose what parent/child you want under it, very useful.

Thanks; thats intresting I will have a look at both I will try the hard coding cheers for that MichalH.

But the plugin looks OH so very appealing just for an out of a box solution. Thankyou mangagrl251 – I will give that a blast.

TY

@mangagrl251 – please provide a link to that plugin. Thank you.

Michael I believe that this is the link for that plugin;

I have tried it, looks good but sadly doesn’t do what I want it to do.

I have tried your suggestion; works and does exactly what you said it would. I am at the moment reading up on the https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Template_Tags/wp_list_pages page

As I have modified the painter theme and wanting to remove the linking parents. My PHP knowledge isn’t that great and I am at the learning stage, so please forgive me.

Your suggestion works, but I find that the style is not applied and the drop down menu works too fast. I get the feeling that I have other areas to modifiy.

Any pointers ?

I have been using the painter theme located here: https://www.ads-software.com/extend/themes/painter

In the header.php this is the remark for the list_pages call
<?php wp_list_pages(‘depth=2&title_li=’); ?>

Michaels recommendation of
wp_list_pages(‘child_of-8&title_li=Static Page 1 parent’);
wp_list_pages(‘child_of-15&title_li=Static Page 2 parent’);

works but as mentioned above loses formatting(css, I presume, but can’t see why) and dropdown menu timings are too quick. Am puzzled as to why this changes has made such a behaviour change.

I am happy calling each parent if need be in the header.php, but would like some help and afew pointers if anybody can help.

I am learning PHP and only a beginner, as with wordpress. I kind of have my answer now its just making it work.

In hope

MichaelH, can you give me any pointers as to why the drop down menu collaspes. When you lose focus on the main parent title ?

using your > wp_list_pages(‘child_of-8&title_li=Static Page 1 parent’);
suggestion

I used it like this >><?php wp_list_pages(‘child_of-6&title_li=’);?> and its the same, give it a title and it does the above.

The intresting thing is, thats its doing what I am asking it to do list child pages of parent. But the drop down menu fuction is not working.

So am wondering what have I missed ?

Not sure if this is the problem but my code says “child_of-” and that should be “child_of=” (equal sign, not minus sign). Sorry.
