   At the moment I have this code, to add a subpage menu in the sidebar on a parentpage:

   <?php
     if($post->post_parent)
     $children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&amp;child_of=".$post->post_parent."&amp;echo=0");
     else
     $children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&amp;child_of=".$post->ID."&amp;echo=0");
     if ($children) { ?>
     <ul>
     <?php echo $children; ?>
     </ul>
     <?php } ?>

   I am looking for a way to add the parent-page to this menu, as a link. That way, when you click a subpage, you can still get back to the parent-page through the sidebar-menu!

   Use
   

   <?php
     if($post->post_parent){
       $parent=get_post($post->post_parent);
       $children = '<li><a href="'.get_permalink($post->post_parent).'">Parent:'.$parent->post_title.'</a></li>';
       $children .= wp_list_pages("title_li=&amp;child_of=".$post->post_parent."&amp;echo=0");
     }else{
       $children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&amp;child_of=".$post->ID."&amp;echo=0");
     }
     if ($children) { ?>
     <ul>
     <?php echo $children; ?>
     </ul>
     <?php } ?>

   I haven't tested this but I'm pretty confident it should work. If it doesn't work as expected get back to me.

   Hello tomontoast!

   It almost does the trick. When you look at http://www.customizen.nl and then click on 'over ons' you see in the sidebar 'hello'. That is a subpage. When you click it, you see the page itself, and in the menu 'parent:over ons' has appeared!

   So I see two problems. One: it isn't in the menu straight away, but only on the subpage-menu. Two: there is 'parent:' in front of it!

   Do you know what is wrong?

   Firstly, you can put it on the first menu if you want but I see that as a bit pointless seeing as you are already on that page. Secondly I wrote the parent bit in to show that it is a parent page but you don't have to have that either.
   Heres the updated code:
   

   <ul><?php
     if($post->post_parent){
       $parent=get_post($post->post_parent);
       $children = '<li><a href="'.get_permalink($post->post_parent).'">'.$parent->post_title.'</a></li>';
       $children .= wp_list_pages("title_li=&amp;child_of=".$post->post_parent."&amp;echo=0");
     }else{
       $children = '<li><a href="'.get_permalink($post).'">'.$post->post_title.'</a></li>';
       $children .= wp_list_pages("title_li=&amp;child_of=".$post->ID."&amp;echo=0");
     }
   echo $children; ?>
   </ul>

   This works! Thank you very much. I do need the parent to show up, so thank you very much for editing the code!
