   hello
   I have no trouble displaying the_title on a page. But can't find the tag from the codex to show the page parent. Namely, so I can create a crumb-trail, but also as several subpages from different parents have the same title.

   will this work?
   is there an easier way?

   <?php
if($post->post_child)
$parent = wp_list_pages("title_li=&parent_of=".$post->post_child."&echo=0"); else
$parent = wp_list_pages("title_li=&parent_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");
if ($parent) { ?>

   <?php echo $parent; ?>

   <?php } ?>

   $post->post_parent will give you the ID of the parent page :)

   if you want to keep checking further back, you can pull the parent page and find out what it's parent is....

   $parent = get_page($post->post_parent);
   $grandparent = $parent->post_parent;

   just thought - is there simply a crumb tag?

   there isn't but there are a couple of breadcrumb plugins.

   you're welcome by the way.

   ivovic - would the code you posted a few weeks ago be adaptable?

   <div id="breadcrumbs">
   <a href="<?php echo get_bloginfo('url'); ?>" title="">Home</a>
   <?php
     $breadcrumbs = explode('|',get_category_parents($cat,true,'|'));
     array_pop($breadcrumbs);
     array_pop($breadcrumbs);
     if ($breadcrumbs) foreach ($breadcrumbs as $crumb) echo ' / '.$crumb;
   ?>
   </div>
   <h1><?php single_cat_title(); ?></h1>

   that's for category pages... you would use that only on category archive templates.

   this is what I use for breadcrumbs on my page.php and other page templates.

   <div id="breadcrumbs">
     <a href="<?php echo get_bloginfo('url'); ?>" title="">Home</a>
     <?php
       $parent_id  = $post->post_parent;
       $breadcrumbs = array();
       while ($parent_id) {
         $page = get_page($parent_id);
         $breadcrumbs[] = '<a href="'.get_permalink($page->ID).'" title="">'.get_the_title($page->ID).'</a>';
         $parent_id  = $page->post_parent;
       }
       $breadcrumbs = array_reverse($breadcrumbs);
       foreach ($breadcrumbs as $crumb) echo ' / '.$crumb;
     ?>
   </div>
   <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>

   since I'm posting all my code here, and you're cutting and pasting, don't you think it would just be easier to use a breadcrumb plugin? ;)

    thanks - i'll try this. i wouldn't learn anything using a plugin.

    thanks Ivovic - i tried that code - will have to change it a bit - but that's the tag i was looking for. shame the codex is so difficult to navigate.

    Great to have found this today! I'm super novice at PHP, but got this working, only I was wondering how it can be changed to display top level parent pages (so only one page parent title would appear - even if you are at sub sub levels of pages)

    Thanks!

    Awesome, thank you ivovic, can't believe this isn't posted in a more public place. A may soon combine your hierarchicial script here with ForTheLose's breadcrumbs
