   Ive been trying to figure this thing out but to no avail. Here's my situation.

   Parent Link
   Parent Link 2
   - Sub 1
   - Sub 2
   - Sub 3

   Now when I click on one of the sub pags, this is how it shows up

   - Sub 1
   - Sub 2
   - Sub 3

   What I want to do is essentially still have the first view show up regardless if I clicked on the subpages. Any help would is appreciated.

   Also heres the code I used

   <?php

   if($post->post_parent)

   $children = wp_list_pages("depth=2&sort_column=menu_order&title_li=&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=1");

   else

   $children = wp_list_pages("depth=2&sort_column=menu_order&title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=1");

   if ($children) { ?>

   <?php echo $children; ?>

   <?php } ?>`

   This is your problem i'd imagine..
   if($post->post_parent)

   That will always be true, because every post has a parent ID, just regular (non-subpages) have a parent of 0, which is the same as no parent, but doesn't work for your IF statement above..

   List pages function isn't reliable in some senses so i can only suggest you toy around with the code, as a starter i'd suggest changing the aforementioned line to..
   if($post->post_parent && $post->post_parent !== 0)
   or..
   if($post->post_parent !== 0)
   or..
   if($post->post_parent > 0)

   Also note the child_of parameter will still return results even where there are no pages matching the ID passed to the parameter... which i think is half the problem (and possibly a bug with that function, depending on it's originally intended usage).
