Titles in Dropdown showing raw strings

Hello,

I am using “Aegean Resort” theme, which is a commercial and as you said, possibly a non-supported theme.

Everything is working 100% except a dropdown where the titles of the “Rooms” (Rooms are special/modded Pages from what I know).

The output shows:

{:en}abc xyz{:}{:ar}ا ب ت{:}
instead of “abc xyz” (the page title)

This is true in both languages.

The developers of the theme tell me that they’re using a modded version of wp_dropdown_pages() called wp_dropdown_posts() … In developer’s words:

The function that creates the room listing dropdown is a modified version of wp_dropdown_pages() made to display rooms. Ask the developer why the plugin outputs a string instead of the correct language when wp_dropdown_pages() is used and how you might fix this.

Their templates look something like this:
```
wp_dropdown_posts(array(
'id' => 'room_select',
'post_type' => 'room',
'selected' => $selected
), 'room_select' );
```
at another location:
```
wp_dropdown_posts(array(
'id' => 'room_select_2',
'post_type' => 'room',
'selected' => $room_id
), 'room_select' );
```
Can you guide me in the right direction?

		function on_wpglobus_get_posts( $pages ) {

Tsk Alex..

Didn’t expect it this soon 🙁

I just paid a developer $30 to fix it..

Here is what he did:
```
//My Custom Functions
 add_filter('list_pages', 'my_list_pages',10,2);
 function my_list_pages($title,$page){
   return WPGlobus_Core::text_filter($title,WPGlobus::Config()->language);
```
}

Both of the solutions are working perfectly fine!

Now I feel bad of having to pay him while you people deserve all the credit 🙁
