   In the code example below, I have a line -

   wp_list_pages("title_li=".$post->post_parent." etc...

   The var $post->post_parent returns a category number. How do I get it to return the category name?

   Thanks!

   <?php
   			if($post->post_parent) {
   				$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=".$post->post_parent."&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0");
   			} else {
   				$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");
   			}
   			if ($children) { ?>
   				$cat = $post->post_parent;
   				<ul>
   				<?php echo $children; ?>
   				</ul>
   			<?php } ?>

   Your code is for pages not categories, and the page ID number is needed for the child_of= in wp_list_pages. The name would not work here.

   This is for listing categories:
