limit number of pages shown from of wp_list_pages, and a read more link

Don’t know if there is a plugin for that but, you could do that by getting the pages, converting that to an array and then echo the first 5:

<?php
$howmany = 5;

$pages = wp_list_pages("echo=0&title_li=");

$pages_arr = explode("\n", $pages);

for($i=0;$i<$howmany;$i++){
	echo $pages_arr[$i];
}

?>

Then put a link to a page that lists them all… kinda like:

<li><a href="url.to/page">More...</a></li>

Hope that helps

Thank you, Wp_guy….most helpful ??

Hi,

Thank you wp_guy for this very useful tip.

I would like to do something like:
– list the first five child pages
– create a new page (like nextpage quicktag do)
– list the next five child pages
– create a new page
….

Thanks for your help

WP-GUY you are srsly a legend. I’ve been wondering how to do this for AGES now and you just saved me from stuffing up my code so THANKYOU!:D:D:D
