   I found this forum post about inserting special characters between menu items (http://wordpress.org/support/topic/244544?replies=13#post-1054483), I'd like to figure out how to do the same thing, but with WP_LIST_BOOKMARKS function.

   This is what I've tried so far. I have just edited the code from the previous post. It will list the bookmarks correctly, but for some reason doesn't insert the " | " between them:

   <?php
   $links = wp_list_bookmarks('title_li=&categorize=0&sort_column=menu_order');
   
   foreach($links as $i => $page)
   	$links[$i] = '<li><a href="' . link_url($page->ID) . '" title="' . attribute_escape(apply_filters('link_name', $page->link_name)) . '">' . apply_filters('link_name', $page->link_name) . '</a></li>';
   
   echo implode('<span class="divider"> | </span>', $links);
   ?>

   If anyone can help me out, it'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

   you need to add the 'echo' arg to use the list in php:
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_bookmarks:

   echo
   (boolean) Display bookmarks (TRUE) or return them for use by PHP (FALSE).
   1 (True) - Default
   0 (False)

   @alchymth

   Thank you for you reply.

   I added the 'echo=0' argument, but now nothing is displayed.

   I found the answer to my question if anyone needs to know how to do this. You can find the answer at the following page:

   http://wordpress.org/support/topic/244544?replies=16#post-1312208

   <?php $links = wp_list_bookmarks('title_li=&categorize=0&sort_column=menu_order&echo=0');
   $bookmarks = explode('</li>', $links); //create array from string returned by wp_list_bookmarks
   array_pop($bookmarks); //pop last element off array
   echo implode('<span class="divider"> | </span>', $bookmarks); ?>
