How do I add parent to children nav list? WordPress
- SOLVED
I have had success with my sidebar nav php code that gives me a list of all children of a parent post which I picked up from your site.
Recently you gave me help with a css styling on this code.
question #1234 thanks
My question now:
Is there a way to not only show the children in the sidebar nav but also the parent within the same list as the children.
Thanks
Here is the code I have already
<?php
if($post->post_parent)
/* if this post has a post_parent make a linked list of the children called $children */
$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0");
else
/* OR if this post IS a post_parent */
$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");
if ($children) {
/* if $children is not empty, make the navblock */
?>
<ul id="sidebar_nav">
<li class="childnav">
<ul>
<?php echo $children; ?>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<?php } ?>
Your help is appreciated!

Try this:
<?php
$parent_title = get_the_title($post->post_parent);?>
<a href="<?php echo get_permalink($post->post_parent) ?>"><?php echo $parent_title;?></a>
<?php
if($post->post_parent)
/* if this post has a post_parent make a linked list of the children called $children */
$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0");
else
/* OR if this post IS a post_parent */
$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");
if ($children) {
/* if $children is not empty, make the navblock */
?>
<ul id="sidebar_nav">
<li class="childnav">
<ul>
<?php echo $children; ?>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<?php } ?>
That is your original code with the addition of the code to display the parent.

If you want to add the Heading within the list then add following lines of code.
<?php
if($post->post_parent)
/* if this post has a post_parent make a linked list of the children called $children */
$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0");
else
/* OR if this post IS a post_parent */
$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");
if ($children) {
/* if $children is not empty, make the navblock */
?>
<ul id="sidebar_nav">
<li><a href="<?php echo get_permalink($post->post_parent);?>" title="<?php echo get_the_title($post->post_parent);?>"><?php echo get_the_title($post->post_parent);?></a></li>
<li class="childnav">
<ul>
<?php echo $children; ?>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<?php } ?>
And if you want to display the title of the parent like heading then add following code
<?php
if($post->post_parent)
{
?>
<a href="<?php echo get_permalink($post->post_parent);?>" title="<?php echo get_the_title($post->post_parent);?>"><?php echo get_the_title($post->post_parent);?></a>
<?php
}
if($post->post_parent)
/* if this post has a post_parent make a linked list of the children called $children */
$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0");
else
/* OR if this post IS a post_parent */
$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");
if ($children) {
/* if $children is not empty, make the navblock */
?>
<ul id="sidebar_nav">
<li><a href="<?php echo get_permalink($post->post_parent);?>" title="<?php echo get_the_title($post->post_parent);?>"><?php echo get_the_title($post->post_parent);?></a></li>
<li class="childnav">
<ul>
<?php echo $children; ?>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<?php } ?>
if you don't want link to the parent page then remove a tag from this code
<a href="<?php echo get_permalink($post->post_parent);?>" title="<?php echo get_the_title($post->post_parent);?>"><?php echo get_the_title($post->post_parent);?></a>
I have similar post on my website where it shows If the current page is a child page then all the child pages of that parent page will be displayed. And if the current page is not a child page and have childs then all the child pages will be displayed of the current page.

Does this help:

<?php
// use wp_list_pages to display parent and all child pages all generations (a tree with parent)
$parent = 93;
$args=array(
'child_of' => $parent

$pages = get_pages($args);

Not working,
I get a blank sidebar
So I added the code to what I got before.
<?php
/**
* The Sidebar containing the primary sidebar widget areas.
*
* @package WordPress
* @subpackage Twenty_Ten
* @since Twenty Ten 1.0
*/
if($post->post_parent)
/* if this post has a post_parent make a linked list of the children called $children */
$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0");
else
/* OR if this post IS a post_parent */
$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");
if ($children) {
/* if $children is not empty, make the navblock */
// use wp_list_pages to display parent and all child pages all generations (a tree with parent)
$parent = 93;
$args=array(
'child_of' => $parent
);
$pages = get_pages($args);
if ($pages) {
$pageids = array();
foreach ($pages as $page) {
$pageids[]= $page->ID;
}
$args=array(
'title_li' => 'Tree of Parent Page ' . $parent,
'include' => $parent . ',' . implode(",", $pageids)
);
wp_list_pages($args);
}
?>
<ul id="sidebar_nav">
<li class="childnav">
<ul>
<?php echo $parent;?>
<?php echo $children;?>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<?php }?>
ass seen here the parent is listed but not as a link and as the number 93.

Any ideas greatly appreciated.
I am not a php expert, just poke around.
I think the
$parent = 93;
is suspect
