Very simple. Isn’t it?

There were some issues with first release of the plugin. Jennifer addressed them all in this new release… and more.

Now you can strip page link entirely ( by creating custom field delink with value true ) or replace it with <a href=”#”>page title</a> ( by creating custom field delink with value href ).

Important: be aware that first option ( stripping ) might mess up navigation menu on some themes ( horizontal list of parent pages with vertical submenus of child pages ). If this is your case, you can still use second option ( link to “#” ) safely.

This plugin will allow you to specify certain pages to not be linked when wp_list_pages() is used in a theme. You might want to do this if you want a header for a series of subpages, but don’t specifically want that header to be a real page itself.

Instruction says:

To indicate that a page should not be linked when wp_list_pages() is used, edit the page that you do not want linked and create a custom field with a key of “delink” and value of “true”.

Simple. Unfortunately it doesn’t work. Below is the source code:

<?php
add_filter('wp_list_pages', 'scripty_de_link');

function scripty_de_link($output) {
		$allpageids = get_posts(array('post_type' => 'page', 'numberposts' => -1));
		foreach ($allpageids as $eachpage) {
			//get custom field value for delink
			$delinkthis = get_post_meta($eachpage->ID, "delink");
			if ($delinkthis) {
				$newurl = preg_quote(get_permalink($eachpage->ID));
				$output = preg_replace('@\<a href="'.$newurl.'" (.*?)>(.*?)\<\/a>@i', '$2', $output);
			}
		}
        return $output;
}
?>

So, what’s wrong with this code? Apparently, parameters of preg_replace function are incorrect. I’m too old and too lazy to analyze the regular expression being used. Don’t get me wrong. I love regular expressions but I wouldn’t use them if there is a simpler solution. By adding one function ( str_replace_count ) and changing two lines of the original code I made it to serve my purpose. The new code follows:

<?php
add_filter('wp_list_pages', 'scripty_de_link');

function str_replace_count($find,$replace,$subject,$count)
{
   $subjectnew = $subject;
   $pos = strpos($subject,$find);
   if ($pos !== FALSE)
   {
     while ($pos !== FALSE)
     {
         $nC = $nC + 1;
         $temp = substr($subjectnew,$pos+strlen($find));
         $subjectnew = substr($subjectnew,0,$pos) . $replace . $temp;
         if ($nC >= $count)
         {
           break;
         }
         $pos = strpos($subjectnew,$find);
     } // closes the while loop
   } // closes the if
   return $subjectnew;
}

function scripty_de_link($output) {
		$allpageids = get_posts(array('post_type' => 'page', 'numberposts' => -1));
		foreach ($allpageids as $eachpage) {
			//get custom field value for delink
			$delinkthis = get_post_meta($eachpage->ID, "delink");
			if ($delinkthis) {
				$newurl = get_permalink($eachpage->ID);
				$output = str_replace_count($newurl, '#', $output, 1);
			}
		}
        return $output;
}
?>

It does not strip the page link entirely but replaces it with href=”#” which causes no action when you click on it. You can see it implemented in one of my websites – synagoguefund.com. Top navigation bar was constructed with wp_list_pages. Three pages – History, Videos, and Donations are dummy pages acting as parents to meaningfull subpages.
