   Hi there. I'm trying display a list of pages that includes any given page's parent, siblings and children, something like this:

   • Parent
     • Page
       • Child 1
       • Child 2
     • Sibling

   I'm not able to use wp_list_pages in it's simplest form, because the Parent page also has siblings. I've been trying to use the example on the Template Tags/wp list pages page in the Codex, but, although it works fine for the parent and sibling pages, when I go to the child pages, only those child pages are listed, giving me:

   • Child 1
   • Child 2

   This is the code I'm currently using:

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

   Is it at all possible to adapt this code to take into account more than one level of children e.g. using 'ancestor' rather than 'parent'? (You can probably tell I know enough php to copy and paste without the template imploding, but not enough to reverse engineer the code myself :)

   Any help very much appreciated!

   Never mind, I decided to go with the Fold Page List plugin and used this code (adapted from the suggestions in this forum topic):

   <?php
   $g_page_id = $wp_query->get_queried_object_id();
   $ancestorIDs = _wswwpx_page_get_ancestor_ids($g_page_id);
   $titlePage = $ancestorIDs[1];
   $childIDs = _wswwpx_page_get_child_ids($titlePage);
   if (is_array($childIDs)) { ?>
   <ul>
   <?php
   $grandParent = $ancestorIDs[1];
   wswwpx_fold_page_list("title_li=&sort_column=menu_order&child_of=".$grandParent);
   ?>
   </ul>
   <?php } ?>

   Seems to work so far, although I need to work out the styling...
