I'm using wp_dropdown_pages() in Wordpress. It's working fine, displaying a nice refined dropdown list of pages. My issue is that the value of each select holds the page ID, not it's permalink - do any of you guys know how I can replace this value?
Find this file: wp-includes/post-template.php
Find this line inside function start_el():
$output .= "\t<option class=\"level-$depth\" value=\"$page->ID\"";
(It should be on line 1415). And replace it with this:
$output .= "\t<option class=\"level-$depth\" value=\"".get_permalink($page->ID)."\"";
I'm not sure if it's the proper way, but it will get the job done!
Changing wp-core files is not recommended, after update your WP this file will be rewrite
