Displaying Subpages of Subpages in sidebar (Level 3 menu)

Not trying to be funny, but did you read this on the page you linked to? Does it not work?

depth (integer)
This parameter controls how many levels in the hierarchy of pages are to be included in the list generated by wp_list_pages. The default value is 0 (display all pages, including all sub-pages).

* 0 – Pages and sub-pages displayed in hierarchical (indented) form (Default).
* -1 – Pages in sub-pages displayed in flat (no indent) form.
* 1 – Show only top level Pages
* 2 – Value of 2 (or greater) specifies the depth (or level) to descend in displaying Pages.

child_of (integer)
Displays the sub-pages of a single Page only; uses the ID for a Page as the value. Defaults to 0 (displays all Pages).

I’m not sure if you understood me correctly, so here is my code I use (the main menu (wich is not in the code below) is a simpe wp_list_pages in the header):

<?php
if($post->post_parent)
$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0"); else
$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");
if ($children) { ?>
<div id="columnOne">
<ul>
<!-- this is the sub menu -->
<?php echo $children; ?>
</ul>

<ul>
<!-- here should be the menu with subpages of subpages be placed -->
</ul>
</div><!--// end #columnOne //-->

<?php } else { ?>

<div id="columnOneFront">
</div><!--// end #columnOneFront //-->

<?php } ?>

$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");

In the codex this is written as

$children = wp_list_pages('title_li=&child_of='.$post->ID.'&echo=0');

Don’t know if that’s got anything to do with it.

Also I see no braces after your if statement

<?php
if($post->post_parent)
$children = wp_list_p  ........

ok, I’m almost there, with this construct I get the 3rd level displayed where and when I want it:

<div id="columnOne">
<h1 class="hideme">Subnavigation</h1>
<?php
if($post->post_parent)
$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&depth=1&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0"); else
$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&depth=1&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");
if ($children) { ?>
<ul id="submenu">
<?php echo $children; ?>
</ul>

<?php
if($post->post_parent)
$subchildren = wp_list_pages("title_li=&depth=1&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");
if ($subchildren) { ?>
<ul id="subsubmenu">
<?php echo $subchildren; ?>
</ul>

<?php } else { ?>

<?php } ?>	

<?php } else { ?>

<?php } ?>
</div>

you can see the code in action here: https://preview.tinyurl.com/6e9kx3

the only problem left is, if you click now on the 3rd level page (the last link in the left sidebar), the submenu goeas away, but this should be still visible, of course.

ok, I finally solved it with the fold page plugin, here is my working code:

<ul>
<!-- Top level navigation -->
<?php  wswwpx_fold_page_list ('depth=1&&exclude=11,12&sort_column=menu_order&title_li='); ?>
</ul>

<!-- Sub level navigation -->
<?php
$g_page_id = $wp_query->get_queried_object_id();
$ancestorIDs = _wswwpx_page_get_ancestor_ids($g_page_id);
$grandParent = $ancestorIDs[1]; ?>
<ul id="submenu">
<?php wswwpx_fold_page_list("title_li=&depth=1&sort_column=menu_order&child_of=".$grandParent); ?>
</ul>

<!-- SubSub level navigation -->
<?php
$SubgrandParent = $ancestorIDs[2]; ?>
<ul id="subsubmenu">
<?php wswwpx_fold_page_list("title_li=&depth=1&sort_column=menu_order&child_of=".$SubgrandParent); ?>
</ul>

@ pulk99

great! that works for me! amazing work.

i have one question tho, how could i make it so the css on the Top Level Navigation remains active when i am navigated to a SubSub level page.

that really would make my life complete.

thanks!

its ok, i worked it out. for anyone else curious, you just need to add “current_page_ancestor” class to your css.

sweet

pulk99, your code works great! but how would you go about putting the subsubpage list on a page template instead of the sidebar?

just using:

!– SubSub level navigation –>
<?php
$SubgrandParent = $ancestorIDs[2]; ?>
<ul id=”subsubmenu”>
<?php wswwpx_fold_page_list(“title_li=&depth=1&sort_column=menu_order&child_of=”.$SubgrandParent); ?>

doesn’t seem to work, and using examples from the Template Tags/wp list pages examples keeps showing the sub pages as well as the sub sub pages.
