   Hi,

   I am creating a website using wordpress 3.2.1 with twenty ten theme.

   I have a main navigation and all parents have children.
   Eg:
   Page A: Child 1
   Child 2
   Page B
   Child 3
   Child 4

   I need to include a horizontal submenu on sidebar. But my problem is, If currently we are on page A, all the child items of page A only to be displayed on sidebar.
   If we are on Page A, sidebar should looks like:
   Page A
   Child 1
   Child 2

   Like this, when we go to Page B, the child of page B only to be displayed.

   Please help me.

   Thanks in advance.

   Regards,
   Libin

   Don't edit the Twenty Ten theme. Instead create a child theme for your customisations. Once your child theme is active, see this Codex section.

   Hey Esmi,

   Thank you so much for your help.
   Now I am working on a child theme and the following code fix my problem.

   <?php
     if($post->post_parent)
     $children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0");
     else
     $children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");
     if ($children) { ?>
     <ul>
     <?php echo $children; ?>
     </ul>
     <?php } ?>

   But I need to display the current parent as the title for these sub menus. ie, I need the current parent page's name as heading. Please help me.
   Thank you so much for helping me.

   Hey,

   I had figure out my problem by using the code below. This code will show the parent's name also as heading.!

   <?php
     if($post->post_parent) {
     $children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0");
     $titlenamer = get_the_title($post->post_parent);
     }
   
     else {
     $children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");
     $titlenamer = get_the_title($post->ID);
     }
     if ($children) { ?>
   
     <h2> <?php echo $titlenamer; ?> </h2>
     <ul>
     <?php echo $children; ?>
     </ul>
   
   <?php } ?>

   Once again thank you esmi for helping me.
