Navigation – 3rd level

    Hey

    I’ve got my sub-navigation set up all follows:

    <?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>
		    <?php echo $children; ?>
		</ul>
<?php } ?>

    Which is fine – if I’m on a first or second level page it displays the sub menu showing the second level pages.

    However when I switch to a third level page the menu changes to display only the third level pages. How can I tweak it so it still only shows the second level pages as before?

    Basically I want my navigation to display the second level pages ONLY all the time, even if you go to a third/fourth level page.

    Thanks

  • Any luck with this, I am using the following code and have the same problem:

    <?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 class="sideblock-pages">
                    <ul class="subpage-list">
                    <?php echo $children; ?>
                    </ul>
        </div>
<?php } ?>

    Try using the get_post_ancestors in place of post_parent. This approach seemed to work for me:

    <?php
global $wp_query;
$post = $wp_query->post;
$ancestors = get_post_ancestors($post);
if( empty($post->post_parent) ) {
	$parent = $post->ID;
} else {
	$parent = end($ancestors);
}
if(wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=$parent&echo=0" )) { ?>

<ul id="secondary-nav">
	<?php wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=$parent&depth=1" ); ?>
</ul><!-- #secondary-nav -->

<?php } ?>

    Then I used this to target the current nav states with CSS:

    #secondary-nav li a:hover,
#secondary-nav li.current_page_item a,
#secondary-nav li.current_page_ancestor a {
	background:#fcb701;
}

    I hope this helps!

    Can you get the 4th level using a similar method?
