   I am trying to test for the child of a page. I have tried using this function found on the internet
   

   function is_child($pageID) {
   	global $post;
   	if( is_page() && ($post->post_parent==$pageID) ) {
                  return true;
   	} else {
                  return false;
   	}
   }

   in the functions.php file ...but to no avail.
   My problem is simple; if the page is a child of another page, do this, elseif, etc..
   I have this conditional statement in my header.php so that when any child of a main page is clicked on, the submenu under the main "Image/Title" area stays consistent. Here's the code:
   

   <?php if (is_page(13) || is_child(13) ) : ?>
   
   <div class="subMenuContainer">
   <?php	wp_nav_menu( array( 'items_wrap' => '%3$s', 'container_class' => 'subMenu', 'after' => '<li class="menu-divider">|',  'theme_location' => 'sectors' ) ); ?>
   </div><!-- end subMenuContainer -->
   
   <?php  elseif ( is_page(11) ||  is_child(11) ) : ?>
   
   <div class="subMenuContainer">
   <?php	wp_nav_menu( array( 'items_wrap' => '%3$s', 'container_class' => 'subMenu', 'after' => '<li class="menu-divider">|', 'theme_location' => 'services' ) ); ?>
   </div><!-- end subMenuContainer -->
   
   <?php  elseif ( is_page(17) ||  is_child(17) ) : ?>
   
   <div class="subMenuContainer">
   <?php	wp_nav_menu( array( 'items_wrap' => '%3$s', 'container_class' => 'subMenu', 'after' => '<li class="menu-divider">|',  'theme_location' => 'mediacenter' ) ); ?>
   </div><!-- end subMenuContainer -->
   
   <?php endif; ?>

   Any help on this would be most appreciated. I have tried and tried different approaches but nothing is working

   I resolved this by taking out my conditional statement out of the header.php and placing it in a the content-page.php . Which is weird, because I thought you should be able to use if/or conditional even if you are calling a custom function from functions.php?
   Anyway, cheers
