   Here is my code:

   <?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 } ?>

   This outputs children and grandchildren links. I want to only display the direct children for a particular page, which I will wrap in a conditional. So what I need to do is tell it not to display the grandchildren. I hope this makes sense.

   Anyone have the expertise to figure this out? I've had trouble searching for this online.

   Thanks!

   I am looking for reverse functionality.

   I have a page by name ‘Parent Page’ and there are 5 child pages say ‘Page A’,’Page B’,’Page C’,’Page D’,’Page E’ which is under ‘Parent Page’. I want to get the parent page name listes when I am within any child page. I tried many and finally decided to write a custom code in sidebar.php

   <?php
   $post_obj = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
   $post_ID = $post_obj->ID;
   $post_title = $post_obj->post_title;
   $post_name = $post_obj->post_name;
   $post_ParentPage = $post_obj->post_parent;

   ?>

   <?php

   $querystr = "SELECT post_parent from wp_posts where ID=".$post_ID;
   $pageposts = $wpdb->get_results($querystr, OBJECT);
   echo '
   ##'.$post_parent.'##';
   ?>

   The problem is that the $post_parent always displays null. Can someone help me on this?

   sudhishchemmur... you can't really 'echo' an object, which is what you've asked wpdb to return. Try print_r($post_parent) and see what you get.

   Possibly, what you want to do is echo $post_parent->ID.

   Alternately, you could use $wpdb->get_var which will return a plain vanilla variable rather than an array or an object. If you use get_var you should be able to just echo it out.

   Try this:

   <?php
   	if($post->post_parent)
   		$children = wp_list_pages("sort_column=ID&amp;depth=1&amp;title_li=&amp;child_of=".$post->post_parent."&amp;echo=0");
   	else
   		$children = wp_list_pages("sort_column=ID&amp;depth=1&amp;title_li=&amp;child_of=".$post->ID."&amp;echo=0");
   	if ($children) { ?>
   		<ul class="child"><?php echo $children; ?></ul>
   <?php } ?>

   @kapiljain.in

   its a nice code snippet, what I was searching for, and just I got it. thanks!

   BTW, if possible an enhancement can be done as if the chilled pages not exist better not to display the title(parent page name).

   Hello!!
   i think this is along the lines of what i have to do.
   in plain English:

   I need to SELECT the posts that have the same term_id and parent_id as the one being displayed.

   how would this be created in SQL?
   this would also need to be dynamic, with no category ids hardcoded....

   please i hope somebody can help me with this! i have spent to many hours trying to figure it out with no luck :(

   thank you in advance....
