   Hi! I have a site with the following set up:

   Parent1
   -Child1a
   Parent2
   -Child2a
   -Child2b
   Parent3
   -Child3a
   -Child3b
   -Child3c
   -GrandChild3c.1
   -GrandChild3c.2
   -Child3d
   Parent4

   Currently, when I am on a Parent or Child page, the submenu navigation lists the Child pages (see code below). When I am on a Grandchild page, the Grandchild pages are listed instead.

   Is it possible to write a PHP "if" statement to not show this third tier of navigation or, ideally, if I were on GrandChild2c.2 page, to list the same navigation I would see if I were on Child2c?

   I am using the following to display the navigation in my header.php :

   <div id="menu">
   	<ul class="caps style<?php echo ($post->post_parent); ?> style<?php the_ID(); ?>"><?php wp_list_pages('include=7,9,11,12&sort_column=menu_order&title_li=&depth=1'); ?></ul>
   	</div>
   	<div id="submenu" class="style<?php echo ($post->post_parent); ?> style<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   	<?php
   if($post->post_parent)
   $children = wp_list_pages("sort_column=menu_order&title_li=&depth=1&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0"); else
   $children = wp_list_pages("sort_column=menu_order&title_li=&depth=1&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");
   if ($children) { ?>
   		<ul>
   		<?php echo $children; ?>
   		</ul>
   <?php } ?>
   	</div>

   Figured it out; this gave the result I was looking for:

   <div id="submenu">
   <?php
   if($post->post_parent) {
   	$parent = get_post($post->post_parent);
   	if ($parent->post_parent) {
   		$children = wp_list_pages("depth=1&sort_column=menu_order&title_li=&child_of=".$parent->post_parent."&echo=0");
   	} else {
   		$children = wp_list_pages("depth=1&sort_column=menu_order&title_li=&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0");
   	}
   }
   else
   	$children = wp_list_pages("depth=1&sort_column=menu_order&title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");
   if ($children) {?>
   	<ul><?php echo $children;?></ul>
   <?php }?>
   	</div>

   Yay, this is what I needed too except, I didn't want anything showing on the parent pages. So, I modified the code to look like this:
   

   <div id="submenu">
   <?php
   if($post->post_parent) {
   	$parent = get_post($post->post_parent);
   	if ($parent->post_parent) {
   		$children = wp_list_pages("depth=1&sort_column=menu_order&title_li=&child_of=".$parent->post_parent."&echo=0");
   	} else {
   		$children = wp_list_pages("depth=1&sort_column=menu_order&title_li=&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0");
   	}
   }
   if ($children) {?>
   	<ul><?php echo $children;?></ul>
   <?php }?>
   	</div>

   Deleting that last else statement keeps the parent from showing any child pages, but children pages will show grandchildren pages and grandchildren pages will show fellow grandchildren pages. Thank you!
