Menu doesn’t show child pages | wp_list_pages

  • I am using this code to list pages in the menu.

    <?php wp_list_pages('depth=1&title_li=&sort_column=menu_order&excludetree=');?>
				</ul>
			</li>
           <ul id="submenu"><li><?php
/*https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Template_Tags/wp_list_pages#List_subpages_even_if_on_a_subpage*/
  if($post->post_parent)
  $children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=&sort_column=menu_order, post_title".$post->post_parent."&echo=0");
  else
  $children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");
  if ($children) { ?>

  <ul>
  <?php echo $children; ?>
  </ul>
  <?php } ?></li></ul>
</div>

    The idea is for the menu to show the parent pages and it’s children. It works on the parents page: https://www.metaphorm.org/new3/bio/ but if you go to a child page they disappear: https://www.metaphorm.org/new3/bio/artist-statement/

    Obviously PHP is not my strong point.

    Got it:

    Really the issue was listing other sibling pages of a child page.

    Solution:

    <!--- Menu -->
<li id="menu">
<ul>
<?php wp_list_pages('depth=1&title_li=&sort_column=menu_order&excludetree=');?>
				</ul>
			</li>
<ul id="submenu"><li><?php
     if($post->post_parent) { // if the current page has a parent
          $parent_title = get_the_title($post->post_parent);
          $parent_link = get_permalink($post->post_parent);
          $children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0");?>

<?php } else { // if the current page is the parent
          $parent_title = get_the_title($post->ID);
          $parent_link = get_permalink($post->ID);
          $children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0"); ?>
<?php }
	echo $children; ?>
        </li></ul>
		</div>
		<!--- /Menu -->
