   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.
