Listing Pages In Custom Navigation without “List”s?

Not really a WP question – it’s about learning CSS if you want to mess around with your theme 😉

you need to turn your lists into inline lists and that must be done with the css. This is the code from the codex:

#navmenu ul {margin: 0; padding: 0;
list-style-type: none; list-style-image: none; border-left: 1px solid #000; }
#navmenu li {display: inline; border-left: 1px solid #000;}
#navmenu ul li a {text-decoration:none; margin: 4px;
padding: 5px 20px 5px 20px; }

‘#navmenu ul li.first { margin-left: 0; border-left: none; list-style: none; display: inline; }’

The last one is so that you don’t get the “|” to show up before the first listed item.

Then you would put in your index.php or header.php or wherever you wanted the list to show up:

<div id="navmenu">
<ul>
<li><a href="">Page 1</a></li>
<li><a href="">Page 2</a></li>
<li><a href="">Page 3</a></li>
</ul>

and it should render this list:

Page 1 | Page 2 | Page 3

There is a great tutorial here: Tutorial

That sounds complicated! Try seaching for plugins to list child pages – something like http://jaredquinn.info/software/wordpress-plugin/sublist/ should help…

This is what I use for my sub navigation:

<?php /* Creates a menu for pages beneath the level of the current page */
if (is_page() and ($notfound != '1')) {
$current_page = $post->ID;
while($current_page) {
$page_query = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT ID, post_title, post_status, post_parent FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE ID = '$current_page'");
$current_page = $page_query->post_parent;
}
$parent_id = $page_query->ID;
$parent_title = $page_query->post_title;
if ($wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_parent = '$parent_id' AND post_status != 'attachment'")) { ?>
<ul>
/* Remove the next line if you don't want to show the parent page
<li><a href="<?php echo get_permalink($parent_id); ?>"><?php echo $parent_title; ?></a></li>
<?php wp_list_pages('depth=1&sort_column=menu_order&title_li=&child_of='. $parent_id); ?>
</ul>
<?php } } ?>
