   Hey all,
   trying not to go crazy here but I am trying to figure something out. On my local test server when I take a look at the $post variable I get:
   

   [ancestors] => Array
           (
               [0] => 1
           )

   But when I upload the same exact code, and the same exact data (via phpmyadmin) I don't get the ancestors array, am I missing something? There really should not be a difference if the code and the data is exactly the same correct?

   Same thing here...

   In my local server, $post->ancestors show up, but not on remote server

   Looking forward to a solution.

   Txs!

   I have an install on an unfamiliar server that's having the problem. Has anyone made any progress on this? Quite bizarre.

   I have the same problem.
   I have written a function that resolves the problem. It's not perfect, because it sends multiple requests to find post parent, so I am afraid it's quite slow, but anyway it works.
   

   function get_ancestors ($id) {
       $p = get_post ($id);
       $parent = $p->post_parent;
       $ancestors = array ();
       while ($parent != '0') {
           $ancestors[] = $parent;
           $p = get_post ($parent);
           $parent = $p->post_parent;
       }
       return $ancestors;
   }

   You can put the function into your plugin file, or functions.php of your template file and use it like:
   $ancestors = get_ancestors (post_id)
   where post_id is the id of the post of course ;)
   Hope this helps:)

   Edit:
   After a while I realized you can also pass whole $post as an argument - and shorten everything by one request. The code will look like:
   

   function get_ancestors ($p) {
       $parent = $p->post_parent;
       $ancestors = array ();
       while ($parent != '0') {
           $ancestors[] = $parent;
           $p = get_post ($parent);
           $parent = $p->post_parent;
       }
       return $ancestors;
   }

   And usage: $ancestors = get_ancestors ($post)

   Salut, je viens d'avoir le même problème. Ne voulant pas allourdir mon code j'ai cherché un peu dans le fichier post.php. On y remarque qu'il existe la fonction suivante :

   get_post_ancestors($post);

   Elle retourne exactement la(es) même(s) valeur(s) que $post->ancestors

   Bonne journée.
