Daniel Yoen answers:

You can use conditional tags :

if(is_page( 'yourpage' ) ) {
//page sidebar menu
}
else if(is_page( 'yoursubpage' ) ) {
//subpage sidebar menu
}

Luis Abarca answers:

Try to check if page is a subpage and add or change the sidebar.

First, add some sidebars in your functions.php


<?php
register_sidebars(1, array(
'id' => 'sidebar-pages',
'name'=> 'Pages sidebar'
));

register_sidebars(1, array(
'id' => 'sidebar-subpages',
'name'=>'Subpages sidebar'
));


Second, call the sidebars from your sidebar.php or custommenu.php

<?php
$sidebar_name = 'sidebar-pages';

if ( ! isset( $post->post_parent ) || $post->post_parent <= 0 ) {
$sidebar_name = 'sidebar-subpages';
}

dynamic_sidebar ( $sidebar_name )

To setup as a child page you need to create function as wordpress doesn't have such function to identify if the page is child page. In fact for the sidebar menu on child page this function will not work as you may need to pass the page id. So there is an easy way to do is by creating a page template and set all child page with the template.

I have create one page template by using twentyeleven theme. This is the logic and idea how you can get the sidebar for child page. You may need to style it to setup in to side.

First you need to register new nav menu in function.php. So place below code in to function.php

<!--[place this code into your function.php to register new menu]-->
<?php
register_nav_menus( array(
'sidebarmenu' => __( 'Sidebar Menu', 'themename' ),
) );
?>



Below code is for the page template. You can name it something like tpl-childpage.php

<?php

/*
Template Name: Submenu Page
*/

get_header(); ?>

<div id="primary">
<div id="content" role="main">

<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
<header class="entry-header">
<h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
</header><!-- .entry-header -->

<div class="entry-content">

<!--[-----------------------------------------------------------------]-->
<!--[add sidebar menu -- You need to style and set with the stylesheet]-->
<div id="side-menu">
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'sidebarmenu' ) ); ?>
</div>

<!--[this is your page content]-->
<div id="mycontent">
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-link"><span>' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentyeleven' ) . '</span>', 'after' => '</div>' ) ); ?>
</div>
</div><!-- .entry-content -->
<footer class="entry-meta">
<?php edit_post_link( __( 'Edit', 'twentyeleven' ), '<span class="edit-link">', '</span>' ); ?>
</footer><!-- .entry-meta -->
</article><!-- #post-<?php the_ID(); ?> -->

<?php comments_template( '', true ); ?>

<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>

</div><!-- #content -->
</div><!-- #primary -->

<?php get_footer(); ?>

You must use your default page.php to get the same structure and style.

Just let me know if you need any more help from me.
