   Hi,

   When I'm in a subpage I'm getting the parent page title using something like that:

   $parent_title = get_the_title($post->post_parent); echo $parent_title;

   I'm looking for a tip to link the parent title with the parent page permalink.

   Thanks in advance!

   $parent = get_page_by_title($parent_title);
   $parent_link = '<a href="'.$parent->guid.'">'.$parent_title.'</a>'

   @esmi Thanks but it's not working...the output is nothing. Else if I do not include the php starting and closing tag and just write guid.'">'.$parent_title.'' I get the correct parent url but unfortunately it's got the '.$parent_title.' attached to the end of it rendering it a broken link.

   Try this:

   <?php $permalink = get_permalink($post->post_parent); ?>
   <a href="<?php echo $permalink; ?>"Parent</a>

   I used the code that PSound gave, though please note it needs one fix for a typo:
   

   <?php $permalink = get_permalink($post->post_parent); ?>
   <a href="<?php echo $permalink; ?>">Parent</a>

   Thanks, PSound!
