   Hi I can't seem to find a solution to my problem and I've been searching the internet for hours, so I was wondering if anyone in the WP forum can help?

   I'm using this code to display my pages

   <?php $args = array(
     'sort_column' => 'menu_order',
     'title_li' => '',
     'depth' => '1',
     'echo' => 0
   );
   $separator = '<img src="http://localhost/test_theme/images/nav-divide.png"';
   $pattern = '/(<\\/a>).*?(<\\/li>).*?(<li)/is';
   $replace = '</a>' . $separator . '</li><li';
   $subnav = preg_replace($pattern,$replace,wp_list_pages($args));
   echo $subnav; ?>

   This work well, however I have the problem that I want to exclude the holding page from the list.

   I usually use this code to remove a page

   <?php $page1 = get_page_by_title ('Holding'); wp_list_pages('exclude='. $page1->ID . '&title_li='); ?>

   but can't use this because it doesn't include the seperators, does anyone know how I can alter the code with the seperators to exclude the page with the title 'Holding'?

   I have looked at the 'exclude' => '', but would like to exclude by title rather than by number.

   Thanks in advance
   Mark

   Any ideas anybody, I thought it would be fairly simple?

   Thanks

   Thanks alchymyth, I can get the page by title no problem but I'm trying to alter this code

   <?php $args = array(
     'sort_column' => 'menu_order',
     'title_li' => '',
     'depth' => '1',
     'echo' => 0
   );
   $separator = '<img src="http://localhost/test_theme/images/nav-divide.png"';
   $pattern = '/(<\\/a>).*?(<\\/li>).*?(<li)/is';
   $replace = '</a>' . $separator . '</li><li';
   $subnav = preg_replace($pattern,$replace,wp_list_pages($args));
   echo $subnav; ?>

   I have found a solution to my problem and I can 'exclude' => '109', to remove the page in question.

   Would be nice to do it by title though. Tried this but no luck :-(

   <?php $exclude1 = get_page_by_title('Sample Page Title'); ?>
   	'post__not_in' => array($exclude1->ID),

   Oh well....

   the posted links which should allow you to get the page id from the page title, and then use it in your code;

   please read the links carefully.

   there is even an example in http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_page_by_title matching your problem.

   Ok managed to do it, I'm sure I'd already tried this but anyways, for anyone else looking to seperate their page lists and exclude a certain page by title, this is the code.

   <?php $exclude1 = get_page_by_title('Holding'); ?>
   <?php $args = array(
     'sort_column' => 'menu_order',
     'title_li' => '',
     'depth' => '1',
     'exclude' => $exclude1->ID,
     'echo' => 0
   );
   $separator = '<img src="http://localhost/test_theme/images/nav-divide.png"';
   $pattern = '/(<\\/a>).*?(<\\/li>).*?(<li)/is';
   $replace = '</a>' . $separator . '</li><li';
   $subnav = preg_replace($pattern,$replace,wp_list_pages($args));
   echo $subnav; ?>

   Thanks for pointing me in the right direction alchymyth, sometimes the answers are right under your nose but you just can't see them, lol...
