Get wordpress parent page or post title
January 28, 2009 · Print This Article
If you use pages and subpages or posts and parent posts on your WordPress blog, it should be a good idea to display parent page/post title while on a child page.
Here’s a code to do that job easily.
To achieve this recipe, simply edit your page.php file and paste the following code where you’d like your parent page title to be displayed:
<?php
$parent_title = get_the_title($post->post_parent);
echo $parent_title;
?>
That’s all. Also, this code should be some inspiration for creating breadcrumbs.
