Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll give that a try. I have a funny feeling that I’ll have to input page titles manually, though.

I’m tearing my hair out over the same issue – has anyone gotten this to work? I just can’t get WP 2.5 to recognize parent/child/grandchild pages properly.

I need something that works likes Otto’s example above, but I get a parse error when using that exact example. It’s on line 29, which is:

<?php global $wp_query; if( has_parent($wp_query->post), 5)) :?>

Anyone know what I’m doing wrong?

@roger – thanks so much!

I’m having a bit of trouble getting the code to work. I’m still a bit confused by the $post->post_parent relationship. Basically, I want my sub-pages to show a list of their children whilst on that sub-page or on any of its children, ignoring a top-level of pages entirely.

Page (no listing of pages)
-Sub-page (list of all pages under this page)
–Sub-sub-page (list of all siblings -i.e. identical to that above)

$post->ID works on my sub-pages, but shows nothing once in the sub-sub-page and $post->post_parent works on my sub-sub-pages, but shows an entire list of my pages on the sub-page. It’s very frustrating!

This codex example sounds like it should work:

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

…but, again, only works once drilled down into a sub-sub-page. On a sub-page, it shows all siblings of that page and their children. It’s like I need a combination of your code and the codex example working in tandem, but I can’t seem to make the thing work at all!

RogerTheriault: is there any way to modify that code (which works perfectly for me!) to display the same information on the child pages also?

Still no joy with this unfortunately, and I’m tearing my hair out. I want something like the codex example, but for the current page (which is a child of another page), and grandchildren of that current 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) { ?>
<ul>
<?php echo $children; ?>
</ul>
<?php } ?>

This works fine when I’m actually on the grandchild pages, but when on the parent of my child pages (‘current’ page in the outline below), it give me a list of all pages as follows:

Top-Level Page
– Current Page
–Child of current page
–Child of current page
Another Top-Level Page
– Child
–Grandchild
–Grandchild

When I need:

Current Page
–Child of current page
–Child of current page

I’m using the same template for my child and grandchild pages – shouldn’t this work? I assumed that the current page wold be considered the parent page, irregardless of whether it’s a child of another, top-level, page. Or am I misunderstanding how this works?

I’d greatly appreciate any help!
