   hello, I'm sorry to keep posting but I am trying to display my Page's content and then underneath, show a link back to the Page's parent page (if it has one).

   I have tried the following but I keep getting a link to the current Page.the title is correct though..

   <div class="entry">
   
         <?php the_content();?>
   
         <?php
           if (!empty($post->post_parent)) {
              $parentTitle = get_the_title($post->post_parent);?>
   
               <a href="<?php get_permalink($post->post_parent); ?>" title="<?php echo $parentTitle; ?>">Back to <?php echo $parentTitle; ?></a>
   
         <?php
            }
   	 edit_post_link('Edit','','');?>
   
     </div>

   As you can pass an ID to get_permalink etc I thought I would be able to do $post->post_parent. Am I far wrong and is it ok to be doing this within the loop still??

   Thank you for your time

   which means that this works:
   

   <?php
      if (!empty($post->post_parent)) {
       $parentTitle = get_the_title($post->post_parent);?>
     <a href="<?php echo get_permalink($post->post_parent); ?>" title="<?php echo $parentTitle; ?>">Back to <?php echo $parentTitle; ?></a>
     <?php } ?>

   I'm using 2.7.1
