Wordpress Plugin to Change Website Link Names

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.

    Thanks a ton for this posting. I had put up a blog without paying any addition to linking structure, but now that I have a bunch of posts, I think I should properly seo it.

    This plugin will help put to rest some of my worries regarding losing my seo traffic.

    I think that wordpress is a lot easier to use compared to many of the other content management platforms out there. The user interface is friendlier and easier to implement than many I have tried and suffered through.

    I even didn’t know about such plugin before and wondering where it was hidden. I think unlimited range of wordpress plugins make it difficult to decide what we should have on our blog.

    Sounds like a useful plugin. Wordpress is slowly winning me over. I was reluctant to start using it because I’ve been making static pages for a decade, but the flexibility is nice.

  34. Posted December 30, 2008 at 7:00 am | Permalink

    I like WP, I think that WP is a really innovative platform, allowing most of bloggers, designers, artists to communicate to familiar audiences, it has a lot of interesting plugins.
    I have been using WP for a couple of months. I find those plugins very useful. Glad to see you.

  37. Posted January 5, 2009 at 6:51 pm | Permalink

    Thats what I love about wordpress all you need is find some best plugins and then poof.. it becomes coco crunch, kidding aside I think one advantage that wordpress has over its counterparts is the enormous amout of plugins to choose from.
