 * I create display list of parent and their child page use this code
 *     ```
       function my_list_child_pages() {
         if (is_page()) {
           global $post;
           $args = 'echo=0&sort_column=menu_order&title_li=';
           // Check whether page is parent/child page
           $page = ($post->post_parent) ? $post->post_parent : $post->ID;
           $parent   = wp_list_pages( $args.'&include='.$page );
           $children = wp_list_pages( $args.'&child_of='.$page );
           // If the current page has/is child page
           $list = ($children) ? '<ul class="disease-nav">'.$parent.$children.'</ul>' : '';
         }
         return $list;
         }
   
       add_shortcode('wpb_childpages', 'my_list_child_pages');
       ```

 * I would use preg_replace() to replace whatever title exists in $parent with “
   Overview”. The title is always within the anchor tags. The regexp would break
   up the search string into 3 parts, the middle being the title text. The replacement
   would back reference the beginning and ending parts of the regexp with “Overview”
   in between. If you struggle with regexp (who doesn’t?), a “fiddle” tool for regexp
   is very useful. One example: [http://www.regexr.com/](http://www.regexr.com/)
