Add number parameter to wp_list_pages()

[security_man]

well, it does and it doesnt... if you put in 5 you get none, if you put in 7 you get 10, if you put in 14 you get 8... not sure if there is a pattern but thats what is happening

[security_man]

this is the call i am using to get the 8 outputs

<?php wp_list_pages("child_of=5&title_li=&depth=1&sort_column=menu_order&number=14"); ?>

That's because wp_list_pages() doesn't have a 'number' parameter.

Punting due to feature freeze.

The codex claims this feature is already implemented:

​http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_list_pages#Parameters

However, the SQL LIMIT argument passed into get_pages() from wp_list-pages() is limiting the results before the filters are applied.

See line 3181 onwards in post.php:

​http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-includes/post.php

I suggest the LIMIT is abandoned and instead a manual restriction on qty of results returned is implemented at the end of the get_pages() function.

This works now in trunk - pick a page with more than 2 children by id and run this:

php -r 'require( "wp-load.php" ); wp_list_pages("child_of=47&title_li=&number=2");'

Replying to wonderboymusic:

It doesn't for me. In get_pages(), LIMIT is applied earlier than children are calculated:

This is, however, a duplicate of #10230.
