 * is there a way to get the parent of a page using an id?
    for example if there
   is a child page with id 12 is there a way to get the parent id of that page when
   not on the child page?

 * Looks like there’s a [thread with an answer](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/212127?replies=4),
   but I haven’t tested it.
