Sorry for the slow reply, and thanks for your input. I did away with the multi-nav plugin (too much) for a simple site. Therefore I am still using your function above to include the subnav and it works beautifully. I ran into a problem though. The subnav disappears on pages that show posts. I found another subnav plugin and installed and its doing the same thing. Therefore it falls back on my lack of WP skills. Here is an example..

Normal page. Looks great

Page with posts. Other content in sidebar still exists except for subnav.

Thanks for advance for any advice.

As for siblings, etc… that’s not the point of this code, so I *would* assume you’d use something else. If you want that type of display, there’s two plugins listed at the very top of the post which would work for you that do exactly that. but as I stated early on – that’s not what *this* code is for. It’s so that aunts/siblings *won’t* show.

I’ll be using something else as this only shows top grandparent level instead of parent/aunt or even siblings.

yes, this won’t work – not right off the bat anyway – with the Multi-level navigation plugin. The Multi-nav plugin is based off of Son of Suckerfish. The plugin just makes it easy to add it to your WordPress site – however with that ease, you don’t get as much customization, especially since the Multi-nav plugin does certain things for you already. This bit of code assumes you’re doing it from scratch.

Probably what you need to do is view the source code and check out the classes the multi-nav plugin adds in. I know this code *can* work with the multi-nav (I’ve actually done it before), but it’s been a while, and as I recall I had to actually edit the plugin itself to accept the different parameters I added with the code above.

I’d tell you how I did it, but unfortunately I just got back from vacation (which is why it took so long for me to reply – sorry about that) and I know the answer is in my archived files. I you drop me an email, I’ll see what I can figure out for you (because I know if I say I’ll look for you, I’ll forget if you don’t send me an email to remind me!)

This is exactly what I was looking for. I am not a full-time programmer but I understand your descriptive teachings for some reason. I hit one small problem, I am using the Multi-level navigation plugin and when I inserted the scripts here it whacked out my menu (however the sub nav appears!) I wouldn’t know where to begin to find a fix. I need the drop-down on the main nav, and the sub page nav. Use something other than the Multi-level Nav? I chose it for being so dynamic as well since my client will be adding pages in the future. You can see the dev site at the link provided. Thanks! Matt
