   Hi,

   Is it possible to use a template tag to get the current page depth as I want to style sub pages slightly differently to the parent pages. If I could get the current page depth I could create a simple If statement to run whatever code when the page has a depth of > 1.

   Thanks

   Here is some code you can use:

   <?php
   
   global $wp_query;
   $object = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
   $parent_id  = $object->post_parent;
   $depth = 0;
   while ($parent_id > 0) {
   	$page = get_page($parent_id);
   	$parent_id = $page->post_parent;
   	$depth++;
   }
   
   echo $depth;
   
   ?>

   If you add that in the loop in your page.php file, it will display the depth of the page. You could use the $depth value in a conditional statement instead of course.

   Main pages will show a depth of 0, sub pages 1, 2, etc..
