   Hello, I was wondering if it is possible to write an if statement that would check to see if a page is a "sub sub page", or to say it another way, a page that has a page parent, and that page has a page parent?

   Thanks for some help there Michael. I didn't come across exactly what I needed, as I couldn't figure out how to test if a page was a root page, sub page, or sub sub page.

   But I figured I'd post my solution here in case its useful to anyone else. What I did is check to see if the page parent was one of my "root pages" where I could use specific ID's. If it was, it would post it's own subpages. Otherwise, it assumes that the page is a sub sub page, and posts its "brother pages". (as I deemed them)

   <?php
   $parentid = $post->post_parent;
   if ($parentid==5 || $parentid==7 || $parentid==9 || $parentid==15 || $parentid==11) {
       $children = wp_list_pages('depth=1&title_li=&child_of='.$post->ID.'&echo=0');
       if ($children) { ?>
           <div id="subsubnav">
               <ul>
                   <?php echo $children; ?>
               </ul>
           </div>
   <?php } } else {
       $brother = wp_list_pages('depth=1&title_li=&child_of='.$post->post_parent.'&echo=0');
       if ($brother) { ?>
           <div id="subsubnav">
               <ul>
                   <?php echo $brother; ?>
               </ul>
           </div>
   <?php } } ?>

   If anyone has an idea how to do this without identifying specific root pages, then be my guest in improving this script, but otherwise, it's working!
