Custom field value with wp_list_pages

I was looking more if the get_post_meta can be used in conjunction with the title_li parameter of wp_list_pages?

I was heading out to mow some lawns when I miss-read your question.

I think you will have to use a filter. Looking at the source code, I found 'wp_list_pages' is called before the function returns.

Tail end of wp_list_pages() function:

	$output = apply_filters('wp_list_pages', $output);

	if ( $r['echo'] )
		echo $output;
	else
		return $output;
}

Add something like this to the Church Theme's functions.php file (untested):

add_filter('wp_list_pages', 'sp_adjust_page_menu');

function sp_adjust_page_menu ($output) {
	return str_replace( 'Very Long Page Title', 'Short Page Title', $output );
}

HTH,
