    here is my code

    
<?php
$ex_page = get_page_by_title( 'Privacy Policy' );
		$ex_page_2 = get_page_by_title( 'Custom Quote' );
		
		if ($ex_page === NULL) {
			$ex_page_id = '';
			if($ex_page_2 === NULL){
			$ex_page_id_2 = '';
			}
		} else {
			$ex_page_id = $ex_page->ID;
			$ex_page_id_2 = $ex_page_2->ID;
		}
		wp_list_pages( array(
			'depth'    => 0,
			'title_li' => '',
			'exclude'  => $ex_page_id_2,$ex_page_id
			)
		);
?>

    This code is excluding only the 1st Page ID, also if I swap the page ids, it excludes the 1st ID provided.

  • It’s because of the way you’re writing the argument. Because you haven’t grouped the 2 values in any way, the 2nd is being interpreted as another argument for the first array. So what you’ve written is the equivalent of:

    wp_list_pages( array(
	'depth'    => 0,
	'title_li' => '',
	'exclude'  => $ex_page_id_2,
	4          => $ex_page_id,
) );

    Looking at the documentation for wp_list_pages(), it says this about exclude:

    (string) Comma-separated list of page IDs to exclude.

    Without variables that would look like this:

    'exclude' => '1,2',

    So with variables you need to concatenate a String out of your variables, like this:

    'exclude' => $ex_page_id_2 . ',' . $ex_page_id

    Another option is to make an array of values and implode them:

    'exclude' => implode( ',', array( $ex_page_id_2, $ex_page_id ) ),
