Menu in sidebar: grandchildren show wrong menu

  • Hi everyone,

    I’m setting up a corporate page using WordPress as a CMS and I have a slight problem with sub-sub pages (grandchildren).

    First of all, you can see the site here: https://dev.nunis.net/click/about/who-we-are/

    As you can see, I have a parent menu in the header, which is fine.
    I then I have child pages in the sidebar, which is also fine. The sidebar uses this code.

    <?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) { ?>
<h2>In this section:</h2>
<ul id="submenu">
  <?php echo $children; ?>
</ul>
<?php } ?>

    The problem now is that when you go into a grandchild page (such as ‘Management’), you can no longer see the parents in the sidebar. Obviously what I want is to show all children and grandchildren for the respective parent chosen from the header.

    Can anyone please help with this? I’d so much appreciate it.

    Hi everybody,

    Ik had the same problem and solved it like this:

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

    using the function:

    //return the id of the top parent page base on a page_id
function getTopParentPostID($myid){
	$mypage = get_page($myid);
        $myid = $mypage->post_parent;
        $mypage2 = get_page($myid);
	if ($mypage2->post_parent == 0){
		return $myid;
	}
	else{
		return getTopParentPostID($myid);
	}

}

    hope this helps.
