i'm using wp_nav_menu to generate a navigation menu for my theme. It works fine by selecting my created menus. But, what if i want to generate a list from my already created pages and subpages in wordpress ? I tried using wp_page_menu, which does what i want, but i cannot pass a css class parameter to the inside ul, in order to stylize my menu.

Does anyone know how i can do that ?

Are there sub-sub-pages (i.e. up to what depth does it need to work?)? Do several pages have children or is there but one with sub-pages? If there are more than one, is it satisfactory if all inside <ul> elements have the same class? – Johannes Pille Nov 14 '11 at 7:24
It's just enough if only the outer ul has a class specification :) – SpyrosP Nov 14 '11 at 7:30

I faced that problem in the past, however I remember my problem was the first link didn't have a class, after some research I solved it working with a structure similar to this one, take a look and let me know if it works :)

<ul>
   <?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?>
</ul>

UPDATED....

Hey, thank you for the reply :) It actually does not work and the reason is that wp_list_pages already creates an inner <ul> that messes with the external <ul> that you specify. What i would want to do is set the class name for the internal <ul> produced by wp_list_pages. – SpyrosP Nov 14 '11 at 7:12
@SpyrosP While Andrew's "first link" issue has nothing in common with your problem whatsoever, wp_list_pages() is a solution to it. When called with an empty title_li= parameter (as he does above), the list the function does generate will not be wrapped in <ul></ul>. Hence you can define classes for the outer <ul> using regular markup. – Johannes Pille Nov 14 '11 at 7:45
Actually that is what I was meaning, my problem was not exactly the same, however the title_li= empty basically do not wrap the into the <ul> </ul>, I just copy and paste the code I used. My bad for do not explain myself better. @SpyrosP did you check the output it generates? – andrewkthx Nov 14 '11 at 8:46
Yeap, thanx for the clarification, that's exactly what i wanted :) – SpyrosP Nov 14 '11 at 18:08
