Question

I need help with the syntax on how to add a class to the $output variable I need to echo out here. Not good with PHP and I am trying to add a breadcrumb divider so I thought I could do it with css ‘content:’ if only I could add the class. I tried adding &class=something but it didn’t work. Also sticking a ” in the $output variable and that was no good either. Thanks in advance.

$output = wp_list_pages('echo=0&title_li=&child_of=' );

  if (is_page( )) {
    $page = $post->ID;
    if ($post->post_parent) {
      $page = $post->post_parent;
    }
    $children=wp_list_pages( 'echo=0&title_li=&child_of=' . $page );
    if ($children) {
      $output = wp_list_pages ('echo=0&title_li=&child_of=' . $page );
    }
  }
echo $output;

Answer 1

If understood right, you can switch to html like this:

...
}
?>
<div class="OutputClass" >
  <?php echo $output; ?>
</div> 

Or you can echo HTML in PHP, like this:

...
}
echo '<div class="OutputClass" >';
echo $output;
echo '</div>'; 

UPDATE:

Here is an example:

echo '<ul class="ClassUL">';
wp_list_pages(); // echo is TRUE by default
echo '</ul>';

Will output all arguments inside <ul> tags.

In case you haven’t, check this link for the documentation.
