Get page depth

  • Hi,

    Is it possible to use a template tag to get the current page depth as I want to style sub pages slightly differently to the parent pages. If I could get the current page depth I could create a simple If statement to run whatever code when the page has a depth of > 1.

    Thanks

  • I need to do this too. Anyone know how?

    Here is some code you can use:

    <?php

global $wp_query;
$object = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
$parent_id  = $object->post_parent;
$depth = 0;
while ($parent_id > 0) {
	$page = get_page($parent_id);
	$parent_id = $page->post_parent;
	$depth++;
}

echo $depth;

?>

    If you add that in the loop in your page.php file, it will display the depth of the page. You could use the $depth value in a conditional statement instead of course.

    Main pages will show a depth of 0, sub pages 1, 2, etc..
