No problem Mike. I just realized that this function will only detect direct children and not grandchildren (if that makes sense). Basically, you can have a page that’s a child of a child of a child. Anyway,I might fix that in the future, but it will only complicate it. The function would probably need to be recursive or something …

Thanks!

I've been looking for something like this all day :S, and this function works great!

And thanks for responding so quickly.. 3 minutes.

Kudos Nicholas!

if you didn’t want to display child pages, you could simply say:

if (!is_child(’parentpageid’)) {
//code here
}

The key thing is ! (not) tells you to only do the code when is_child returns false.

Could this be used in an if statement to not display child pages?

ex:

if(is_child('parentpageidhere'))

I'm looking for something that will not display child pages if you are currently on a child page of a specific parent page.
