Menu label text reverting back to title text when using link_before/after in wp_list_pages All in One SEO Pack Troubleshooting Forum

Hi, I'm using wordpress 2.8.4 and All in One SEO Pack version 1.6.5

I've found that when I use the link_before and link_after parameters for wp_list_pages any menu labels I've set revert back to the title text, so for example In the navigation menu I want it to have the first link text as "Home". But I want to have "Welcome to my site" for the title of that page.

This has been working completly fine, using the plugins Menu Label field.

However I need to insert an empty span within anchor text so I can use the css sliding doors technique, so basically I want it to output something like

<li><a href="#">Home<span></span></a></li>

When I use the link_after parameter for wp_list_pages the plugin stops working properly, the span appears but the menu label text becomes the same as the title text like

<li><a href="#">Welcome to my site<span></span></a></li>

is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

heres the php I'm using for wp_list_pages

<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&link_after=<span></span>'); ?>

Any help would be much appreciated

Hi,

I've been having the same problem and discovered that it's to do with a regular expression assuming you won't have any HTML in the links produced by wp_list_pages. Not sure if we've using the same version, but my AIOSEO is version 1.6.6.2 and if you change line 668 of the all_in_one_seo_pack.php file to:

It should work.

Cheers,

Paul.

Thanks for the response Paul, I'll try out your code when I get a chance.

It would be nice if you could do this sort of thing without having to hack the code.. ho hum

Ahhhhh

The forum is stripping out the escapes so my code is also incorrect

Can you do anything moderators?

Thanks for the fix Scotty…

Now can we get this fix implemented in an actual version so I don't have to fix it every time I upgrade?
