Hi,

Here is the code for posting on the pages with parent page '283' in Wordpress.

PHP Code:

<?php
if (283 == $post->post_parent) {
echo 'this post has a parent of 283';
}
?>

I wanna use this code for another page with different parent '1048'. How can I do that? Also, It's not working on parent page, I wanna use it on parent page too .

I wanna use this code for another page with different parent '1048'

Change the hardcoded '283' to '1048'

Also, It's not working on parent page, I wanna use it on parent page too

To do what?

Hey dude, I wanna show it on 1041, 1048, 1132 page's child pages.

Secondly, When I use this It doesn't show in parent page....

PHP Code:

<?php
if ($post->post_parent == 1041) || ($post->post_parent == 1048)  || ($post->post_parent == 1132) 
   {
   echo 'this post has a parent of '.$post->post_parent;
   }
?>

Not tested

Hi @asmalik12,
why not just use switch

PHP Code:

switch ($post->post_parent) {
  case 283:
    echo 'this post has a parent of 283';
    break;
  case 1048:
    echo 'this post has a parent of 1048';
    break;
  // more ...
} 


(a) don't hard code any numbers! if ($post->post_parent) {echo "parent is " $$post->post_parent;} (b) doesn't make sense to attempt this on the parent page -- think about the name of the value you're looking at! There must be a similar variable holding the parent's identity.

Not Working... But That's what I want ( Use the stuff once like 'this post has a parent of' )

I don't wanna use to post echo value twice. I wanna use same stuff for both page's child pages.

That's all what I want, but it should come in only one php tag which also includes page's child pages.

I don't wanna use to post echo value twice. I wanna use same stuff for both page's child pages.

That won't echo the special content twice. When a case hits a matched value, it breaks. So the first time it would echo the alternate content, it would stop the case loop.

chrishirst's or primecode's case should work provided you are in the loop.

If this is in the function file then you need to make $post global.
(http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags)

Can I offer a suggestion? If this is a page that will display alternate content from your standard page template - AND - you will be adding more sub-pages in the future you can always make a custom page template.

Then you could simply select this template when making any number of pages in the future RATHER than having to go back and edit the template code to add another page parent ID to the conditional check each time.

A custom template might be easier in the long run.

@racer x : I like your idea for creating new template. But how can I proceed?

Will it require to create every file function.php, page.php, single.php e.t.c. or just one file say wcpage.php and add my page.php code with the stuff I wanna add in current page.php?

Finally, done it... after some modifications... But racer x, don't forget to answer my last question regarding creating new template.

PHP Code:

<?php

   if ( is_page('1041') || 1041 == $post->post_parent || 1048 == $post->post_parent || 1132 == $post->post_parent) 
        {
        echo 'Stuff goes here';
        }
?>

When, I first tried chrishirst's code, I mistakenly removed ;.

There are many tutorials on this, though, the simplest way is to:
1. copy your current page.php file and paste into a new file.
2. At the top of the new file add:

PHP Code:

<?php
/*
Template Name: Custom Page 1
*/
?>

3. Then you can just modify the code in this new file as needed.

To use the template, simply select it from the Page Template options list in the right column of the edit page area.

Some reminders:
1. This is only for Pages, not Posts.
2. Any number of pages can select this template.
3. Be careful not to title it similar to page-contact-me.php.(eg: preceding with "page-") Doing so will make WP look for a page in your database titled exactly "contact me".(or the slug)

Alternately, you "can" title the custom page the same as a page slug in the database as mentioned above. However, going this route, you will not need to add the template name in comments at the top. These types of templates will be assigned automatically to the matching page and NOT allow the options for other pages to use them.
