Get all pages in theme’s function.php file – only getting first page

    I’m trying generate all my page links from my theme’s function.php file. Right now what I have works, but it only gets the first page. I think this may be due to the fact it’s not in a loop, but I’m not that familiar with doing this in the functions file as I normally generate my page links using wp_list_pages() in my theme file.

    Here is the block of code I’m currently using:

    function sitenav() {
	$pages = get_pages();
	foreach ($pages as $pagg) {
	$option = '<li>';
	$option .= '<a href="' . get_page_link($pagg->ID) . '">';
	$option .= $pagg -> post_title;
	$option .= '</a></li><li>:</li>';
	return $option;
	}
}

    And then, I’m putting this function in a variable string, along with other HTML I need in the header area of my theme. And finally, I’m adding the action into a hook and echoing the full output.

    Any suggestions on what I need to change/fix/add? Thanks!

  • This:

    function sitenav() {
	$pages = get_pages();
	foreach ($pages as $pagg) {
	$option = '<li>';

    should be:

    function sitenav() {
        $option = '';
	$pages = get_pages();
	foreach ($pages as $pagg) {
	$option .= '<li>';

    Thanks. I ended up with this:

    function sitenav() {
	$pages = get_pages();
	$optionstring = '';
	foreach ($pages as $pagg) {
		$option = '<li>';
		$option .= '<a href="' . get_page_link($pagg->ID) . '">';
		$option .= $pagg -> post_title;
		$option .= '</a></li><li>:</li>';
		$optionstring = $optionstring . $option;
	}
	return $optionstring;
}
