   I am trying to echo a list of links to the current parent and child pages. So, regardless if I'm in a top level page or a sub level page, I want to get the current Top and all Child pages and output them as links.

   I am using the Exec-PHP plugin and was thinking of doing this in a Text Widget.

   Is there a clean way to get all the current parent's children? Something like <?php get_page_children( $page_id=5, $pages )?> only gets the children of a particular parent. I would like to get the parent+children regardless where you are within those pages.

   Is there a better place to try to get help with this question?

   I am trying to echo a list of links to the current parent and child pages.

   with heading

   <?php wp_list_pages('title_li=<h2>Pages</h2>' ); ?>

   without heading

   <?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?>

   style to suit.

   I just tested this using Exec-PHP and a text widget per your above idea.
   This code - <?php wp_list_pages('title_li=<h2>Pages</h2>' ); ?> - placed in a text widget, showed the title "Pages", and listed all of my parent and child pages. Hope that puts you on the right track.

   Thank you.

   After looking into this issue for a while, this is the code I've ended up using:

   <ul style="list-style-image:none;">
   <?php
     $ancestors = get_post_ancestors($post->ID);
     $parent = $ancestors[0];
   
     if($parent) { //if its a CHILD page
       echo wp_list_pages("title_li=&include=".$parent."&echo=0");
       $children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$parent."&echo=0");
   
   }  else { //if it's a PARENT page
       echo wp_list_pages("title_li=&include=".get_the_ID()."&echo=0");
       $children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".get_the_ID()."&echo=0");
   }
     if ($children) { ?>
   
     <?php echo $children; ?>
     </ul>
     <?php } ?>

   This is assuming there is only 2 depths of link: the main pages, and 1 level of child pages

   This code is great. One question: What if you have one additional level? So main pages, 1 level of child pages, 1 level of child-child pages (or however you want to say it).

   Right now when I get to that lowest level, it only shows that level of pages, not any of the pages above it.

   Thanks!
