   Hi,

   I am trying to create a subnavigation in the sidebar of my site.

   I have used this code below to pull the children of the parent page of the section.

   I want to also be able to pull the title of the parent page of the section and link it to its page and add to subnav.

   How would i do that? I know it has to be somewhat easy to do, just not sure the syntax.

   thanks for any help!
   a

   <?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) { ?>
     <a href=""><?php the_title(); ?></a>
     <ul id="subnav">
     <?php echo $children; ?>
     </ul>
     <?php } ?>

   i figured it out by reading other posts. i should have done some better searching before i posted.

   this is how i created a subnav in the sidebar to be located on a Page.

   Is there a cleaner way to do it?
   

   <?php if($post->post_parent) {
           $parent_title = get_the_title($post->post_parent);
         	$parent_link = get_permalink($post->post_parent); ?>
         <li class="sectionName"><a href="<?php echo $parent_link; ?>"><?php echo $parent_title?></a><li>
         <?php } ?>    
   
   <?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) { ?>
   
     <?php echo $children; ?>
   
     <?php } ?>
