Check Page is Parent or Child in WordPress

Hello friends, in this trick I will show you the core function of WordPress to check whether the page is parent or child.

There are built-in WordPress core functions that you can use to make a condition to check the details of the page and see whether it’s a parent page or a child page.

Check Page

To check whether the given ID is a page or not, you can use the is_page() function of WordPress. It will check the provided ID is the ID of the page and then you can make conditions accordingly.

is_page(7)

if ( is_page(7) ) {
     // code
}

Check Child Page

To check that the current is the child of the certain page, you can use the $post global object to make a condition with “post_parent” key.

$post->post_parent == '7'

if ( $post->post_parent == '7' ) {
     // code
}

The above condition will tell you that the current page is the child of page ID 7.
