   Hi All

   To keep my sidebar list of pages as compact as possible, I would like to show the subpages/children ONLY for the parent page that I am already on. And of course while on any of the children pages of that parent.

   Best - Anders.

   Hi Scripty - I found your link and copied and pasted this into the sidebar of my site:

   <?php wp_list_pages('title_li=<h2>MAIN NAV</h2>&depth=1' ); ?>

   <?php
   if ($post->post_parent == 0) {
   $children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");
   $parentpage = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT ID, post_title, post_name FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE ID = '".$post->ID."'");
   }
   if ($post->post_parent != 0) {
   $next_post_parent = $post->post_parent;
   while ($next_post_parent != 0) {
   $children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$next_post_parent."&echo=0");
   $parentpage = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT ID, post_title, post_parent, post_name FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE ID = '".$next_post_parent."'");
   $next_post_parent = $parentpage->post_parent;
   }
   }
   ?>
   <?php if ($children) { ?>

   • <h2>SUBNAV FOR: ID); ?>"><?php echo $parentpage->post_title; ?></h2>
     <?php echo $children; ?>

   <?php } ?>

   But nothing happens. What I'd like is to have the same set up you have - I'm using the simpleX theme, and my link is http://www.transformationacceleration.com --- I know that WordPress is supposed to be simple, but I don't understand what I'm doing at all.
   I would be very grateful for any help you or anyone else could give me about how to make the parent-child page list show up in my sidebar. And my other question is, should that happen, will I automatically be able to go to the admin page and put in content?

   This might be just what you are looking for. Replace the standard Pages widget with:

   Hierarchical Pages widget
