   I am using the below code in my nav. It works perfectly at showing me the top level parent of the page no matter what subpage I am on. The only issue I am having is making it a link back to that page. Can someone tell me what to do to make it link back... I am a php newbie but I am a master cut and paster. Thanks

   <div id="sideNavParent">
   	<?php
   if($post->post_parent) {
   $ancestors = get_post_ancestors($post->ID);
   $root = count($ancestors)-1;
   $parent = $ancestors[$root];
   $parent_title = get_the_title($parent);
   echo $parent_title;
   } else {
   wp_title('');
   }
   ?>
   </div>

   I found the solution so if anyone needs it here it is.

   <?php
   if($post->post_parent) {
   $ancestors = get_post_ancestors($post->ID);
   $root = count($ancestors)-1;
   $parent = $ancestors[$root];
   $parent_title = get_the_title($parent);?>
   <a href="<?php echo get_permalink($parent) ?>"><?php echo $parent_title;?></a>
   <?php
   } else {
   wp_title('');
   }
   ?>

   I'm trying to do this same thing, but only want it to get the immediate parent, not the very top parent. Unfortunately I'm not a master PHP'er, but I too can cut and paste like a champ.
