    hello, I’m sorry to keep posting but I am trying to display my Page’s content and then underneath, show a link back to the Page’s parent page (if it has one).

    I have tried the following but I keep getting a link to the current Page.the title is correct though..

    <div class="entry">

      <?php the_content();?>

      <?php
        if (!empty($post->post_parent)) {
           $parentTitle = get_the_title($post->post_parent);?>

            <a href="<?php get_permalink($post->post_parent); ?>" title="<?php echo $parentTitle; ?>">Back to <?php echo $parentTitle; ?></a>

      <?php
         }
	 edit_post_link('Edit','','');?>

  </div>

    As you can pass an ID to get_permalink etc I thought I would be able to do $post->post_parent. Am I far wrong and is it ok to be doing this within the loop still??

    Thank you for your time

    JJ

    which means that this works:

    <?php
   if (!empty($post->post_parent)) {
    $parentTitle = get_the_title($post->post_parent);?>
  <a href="<?php echo get_permalink($post->post_parent); ?>" title="<?php echo $parentTitle; ?>">Back to <?php echo $parentTitle; ?></a>
  <?php } ?>

    I’m using 2.7.1
