 * i have few sub pages under the main page.
    i want a function like “is_page”, 
   but even if its a sub page of the main page, it will return true.
 * for example, the main page id is 1, and there are 2 sub pages – 2 and 3.
 * function(1);
    that should return true cuz its a sub page of 1, even if its page
   2 or 3.
 * is there a function like that?
 * thanks for helping.

 * There are examples of calling in child pages.
 * What is it specifically you are trying to do? Create a submenu or something else?

 * Can you tell me what you’re trying to do specifically? Not in code, but the results
   you’re wanting to achieve. Maybe a link to your site would help with your description.

 * there is a plugin that does this real easy.

 * or you can try this. you’ll have to modify the functions.php file and your sidebar.
   php files.
