I was recently trying to put together a website using wordpress and wanted to be able to change the link names using wp_list_pages. I hadn’t realised before that you can’t have a different page heading to your link name, so for example if on my front page I wanted the title to be ‘Welcome to my website” the link in my navigation using wp_list_pages would also say “welcome to my website” when I really just wanted it to say home. I knew I could just hand code it but I wanted my client to be able to easily add pages without messing about, so I searched for a plugin.
After a big search I still hadn’t found one and had little response from the Wordpress forum so I tried the forum over at blogging tips where help was much more forthcoming. Sarah from Stuff by Sarah kindly created a plugin called Page Menu Editor which did exactly what I needed and I am sure will be useful to many people. Sarah’s website also has a lot of other plugins and advice which are well worth a look.

Yeah, definitely a great plugin, have used for a while now and is useful indeed, thanks for sharing it with others
Very handy. I think it should be in the WP plugins directory.
Just tried this, easily one of the best plugins to date.
This is good, but I think it is worth mentioning that according to the author if you have the plugin All in one SEO pack, you don’t need to use this plugin since this feature is already inbuilt in the AIOSP plugin.
It certainly beats handcoding page links on the header! Thanks very much for sharing.
