   I'm currently working on a new WordPress template,

   I list the pages in two places on the template.

   In one of those places i'd like to only list 5 pages instead of all of them.

   e.g. I need to do something like this
   <?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&sort_column=menu_order'); ?>

   And limit the amount listed to 5,

   Is that possible?

   would it be possible for you to just exclude certain pages?

   <?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&sort_column=menu_order&exclude=3,7'); ?>

   That's not possible because I'm programming a theme that anyone should be able to use, and I wont know the page ids that need to be excluded/included, I want to list just the first five (to keep the layout from breaking).

   Thanks for the idea though.

   How about this approach:

   • Store the page list in a variable (<?php $page_list = wp_list_pages('title_li=&sort_column=menu_order&echo=0'); ?>)
   • Use explode() to split the page list into fragments, each one a list item
   • Reassemble the first five list items (or as many as there are if there are fewer) into a new page list
   • Output the new page list

   Or via the theme functions file like so:

   function theme_nav_menu() {
   if (get_option('show_on_front') == 'page')
   $static_page_id = get_option('page_on_front');

   if ($static_page_id && is_page($static_page_id))
   $home_class = ' class="current_page_item"';
   else {
   if ($static_page_id && !is_page($static_page_id))
   $home_class = '';
   elseif (is_home())
   $home_class = ' class="current_page_item"';
   }

   $home_text = theme_home_link_text();

   echo '<ul id="tabs">' . "\n";
   echo '<li' . $home_class . '>< a rel=""nofollow"">' . $home . '' . "\n";

   if (theme_get_option('nav_menu_pages')) {
   $pages = &get_pages('sort_column=post_parent,menu_order');
   $nav_menu_pages = explode(',', theme_get_option('nav_menu_pages'));

   if ($pages && $nav_menu_pages) {
   foreach ($pages as $page) {
   if (!in_array($page->ID, $nav_menu_pages))
   $exclude_pages[] = $page->ID;
   }

   if ($exclude_pages)
   $exclude_pages = implode(',', $exclude_pages);

   wp_list_pages('title_li=&exclude=' . $static_page_id . ',' . $exclude_pages);
   }
   }

   then add a theme option panel described here and style it via CSS.
