    Hello,

    I have created a custom meta box than shows on all pages. However, I only want the meta box to show on pages that have children. Parent pages.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Where you generated the meta box code (functions file or plugin), maybe try placing it inside (not tested this myself):

    function is_tree( $pid ) {
    if ( is_page() ) {
        return ( get_the_ID() == $pid || in_array( $pid, get_post_ancestors( get_the_ID() ) ) );
    }
  return false;
}

    More info on get_post_ancestors… here.

    Hi Phil and thank you for your reply.

    I am adding my custom meta within my functions file and here is the bit of code I have to add it to the pages:-

    function add_custom_meta()
{
	add_meta_box("subpages", "Include page in sub navigation", "get_pages_list", "page", "normal", "default");
}
add_action('add_meta_boxes', 'add_custom_meta');

    So it shows on all pages. I just need it on the top level parent pages.

    Thanks
