    Hi,

    I’m trying to create a ‘related pages’ navigation and I need to include pages that have a custom field value equal to the page title.

    I’ve used this code, but it doesn’t work properly – please can someone help?

    <?php
global $post;
$args=array(
  'post_type' => 'page',
  'meta_key' => 'Project Group',
  'meta_compare' => '=',
  'meta_value' => 'the_title();'
);
$pages = get_posts($args);
if ($pages) {
  $pageids = array();
  foreach ($pages as $page) {
    $pageids[]= $page->ID;
  }
 ?>
  <ul>
   <?php wp_list_pages('include='.implode(",", $pageids)); ?>
</ul>
<?php
}
?>

  • Try:

    $this_page_title = the_title();
args=array(
  'post_type' => 'page',
  'meta_key' => 'Project Group',
  'meta_value' => $this_page_title
);

    Thanks for the reply esmi but I’m afraid that still doesn’t work ??

    $this_page_title = the_title();
@args=array(
  'post_type' => 'page',
  'meta_key' => 'Project Group',
  'meta_value' => $this_page_title
);

    Finally sorted. It needed to be get_the_title rather than just the_title…

    <?php
$this_page_title = get_the_title();
global $post;
$args=array(
  'post_type' => 'page',
  'meta_key' => 'Project Group',
  'meta_compare' => '=',
  'meta_value' => $this_page_title
);

$pages = get_posts($args);
if ($pages) {
  $pageids = array();
  foreach ($pages as $page) {
    $pageids[]= $page->ID;
  }
 ?>
  <ul>
   <?php wp_list_pages('include='.implode(",", $pageids)); ?>
</ul>
<?php
}
?>

    Hope that helps someone else in the future.
