Page-specific sub page navigation

  • Hi,

    I’m trying to display sub navigation in my sidebar that shows the current page with a “current” class but this is indented beneath its parent link with its sibling links. But also I would like to display the parents siblings links too. So, essentially I want a parent > child > grandchild hierarchy navigation, but I can’t figure out the code for this. I have this so far:

    <?php if ( is_page() ) { ?>
  <?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) {
            $permalink = get_permalink($post->post_parent);
			?><a href='<?php echo $permalink;?>'>
            <h2>
            <?php
            $parent_title = get_the_title($post->post_parent);
            echo $parent_title;
            ?>
            </h2></a>
            <ul class="sub-nav">
            <?php echo $children; ?>
            </ul>

 <?php } } ?>

    but if I am on the grandchild page, it only shows the child page as its parent page. I want it to still show the grandparent and the grandparents sibling links.

    Sorry if this is quite confusing. :/

    (I’ll upload images of the output I’m looking for if that will help…)

  • This is what I’ve used to accomplish what I think you are describing. Hope it helps!

    <?php
if ($post->post_parent) {
	//get the parrent and see if it'a a top page (has no parent)
	$parent = get_page($post->post_parent);
	if ($parent->post_parent) {
		//if it's not a top page, then his parent should be
		$children = wp_list_pages('title_li=&child_of=' . $parent->post_parent . '&echo=0');
	} else {
		$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) { ?>
	<ul class="side-nav">
	<?php
		if ($post->ancestors[1]) {
			$ancestor_title = get_the_title($post->ancestors[1]);
			$ancestor_link = get_permalink($post->ancestors[1]);
		?>
		<li><a href="<?php echo $ancestor_link; ?>"><?php echo $ancestor_title; ?></a></li>
		<?php } elseif ($post->post_parent) {
			$parent_title = get_the_title($post->post_parent);
			$parent_link = get_permalink($post->post_parent);
		?>
		<li><a href="<?php echo $parent_link; ?>"><?php echo $parent_title; ?></a></li>
		<?php } else { ?>
		<li class="current_page_item"><a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
		<?php } echo $children;?>
	</ul>
<?php } ?>
