This tutorial is very good and almost does exactly as I need it to... ...The next question from me would be: I needed to just show the children of the page I am on in the side bar, but just the immediate children, not the children of the sub pages too. Is there any way to show the immediate children of the page you are on? I tried to implement 'depth=1' but I could not get it to work: <code> <?php wp_list_pages('child_of='.get_the_ID('depth=1').'&title_li='.__('Next Steps').''); ?></code> Any chance you can help with this at all? I have been asking Google all morning, but so far it has come up short :-) I look forward to your response :-) Hi There

But doing this is pain in the ass I always got different need
1. if page got subpages, show subpages (1 level)
2. if not, but has parrent, show siblings
3. if not, show something different (in that case i'am on the top page, so showing the top menu on sidebar is not a good idea, as top menu is typicaly also somewhere else

Important for us are 2 things: the top page is always at the end of the array and it can return an empty array. So we just go to the end of the array and for the case that there is no parent page, we display all the subpages of this page. We write a function in our functions.php because it is easier to maintain, and may also be used in several sidebars. [...] [...] WP Engineer publiceerde vandaag een fijne hack om dit op te lossen.

Then you don't have to call get_post_ancestors() and hit the database again for info you should already have. Why not use end() on the ancestors array?

I did not know about get_post_ancestors function, I used to code my own function with multiple database queries to check for page ancestors, which is not very efficient. Now I can easily achieve this by using your tutorial examples! And the codes are efficient, short and neat too! Thanks again!
