Displaying Children When Viewing 1 Child

I banged out a solution to something similar on a little project some months back. Below is what I used to detect if a Page is parent or child, and pass the proper ID (for the ‘child_of’ argument) from the $wp_query object, that being post->ID if a parent, post->post_parent if a child.

Feel free to play with it:

<?php
global $wp_query;

if( empty($wp_query->post->post_parent) ) {
$parent = $wp_query->post->ID;
} else {
$parent = $wp_query->post->post_parent;
}

wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=$parent");
?>

I am looking for same option for post i want to show only child category when viewing particular category

“I am looking for same option for post i want to show only child category when viewing particular category“

xinfo, this is a very different topic you’re requesting help for (though it may *seem* similar), and if you haven’t already I’d suggest starting a new forum thread on it.

“This code is going in my sidebar, and if I’m not viewing a page or sub-page, then it should not display anything.“

You can restrict it through use of the is_page() conditional:

<?php if( is_page() ) : ?>

Code to display on Pages goes here

<?php endif; ?>

See the info on conditional tags for more:

PERFECT! You don’t know how long I’ve been racking my brain trying to figure this one out! Thank you! Thank you!

I am using the following to show child pages…

<?php
global $wp_query;

if( empty($wp_query->post->post_parent) ) {
$parent = $wp_query->post->ID;
} else {
$parent = $wp_query->post->post_parent;
}

wp_list_pages("title_li=<h2>Subpages</h2>&child_of=$parent");
?>

How can I set it so that the parent page title precedes the heading of Subpages?

For example:

About Subpages
-Vision
-Mission
-Strategy

Sorry for all the replies, but I think I found how to do what I wanted to do. Let me first explain the situation.

-WP 2.1 installation
-Using a ‘static’ page as the home page (new to WP 2.1)
-The second link in the header menu (News)is the “blog” section
-The remaining static pages have multiple child pages

I wanted to display the child page links on the sidebar only when one of the parent page links on the header menu were clicked. I also wanted to show all of the links for the child pages as you clicked through them. Furthermore, I wanted to show a header title above the links that showed the name of the parent page.

The only caveat, which is the problem I kept running into with some of the other solutions on this thread, is that I did not want to show any parent page names on the “home” and “news” pages of the site. For example, with one solution I clicked on the news/blog section and the top post title was showing on the top of the sidebar.

So, here is the solution I came up with. It’s a lot of trial and error (I’m not a programmer). If anyone can think of a better way to do this then please suggest it. As it stands, I’m going to have to make manual changes here as I add pages. BTW, I’m also running this in a PHP Sidebar Widget (ExecPHP).

<?php
if (is_page('2')) {
echo "<h2>About</h2>";
} elseif (is_page('18')) {
echo "<h2>About</h2";
} elseif (is_page('19')) {
echo "<h2>About</h2";
} elseif (is_page('20')) {
echo "<h2>About</h2";
} elseif (is_page('21')) {
echo "<h2>About</h2";
} elseif (is_page('22')) {
echo "<h2>About</h2";
} elseif (is_page('5')) {
echo "<h2>Ministries</h2";
} elseif (is_page('16')) {
echo "<h2>Ministries</h2";
}
?>
<?php
global $wp_query;
if( empty($wp_query->post->post_parent) ) {
$parent = $wp_query->post->ID;
} else {
$parent = $wp_query->post->post_parent;
}
?>
<ul>
<?php wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=$parent"); ?>
</ul>


Okay, for anyone else who comes across this thread, I managed to get what I wanted using the fold_page_list plugin and adding some css for page ancestors.
