[Plugin: Widget Logic] Negating a parent and its children

The correct answer appears to be:

global $post; return !(is_page(555) || ($post->post_parent==”555″));

How would I also exclude the grandchilren?

you might find the ‘get_post_ancestors’ example on

is what you need

Hi alan,

I think you solved this for me over at freakytrigger.co.uk

You said
““I want to exclude all the children of 219, 409 and 357″

then you need to add || ($post->post_parent==”219″) in there too – which is doing the job of excluding the children of 219. the is_page(219) will also exclude page 219.

when the code is getting a bit repetitious like this, you could try reformulating using PHP’s in_array like this:

global $post; return !( in_array($post->post_parent, array(219,357,409)) );

wordpress’s own is_page can take an array for multiple values too, so if you also wanted to exclude those parent pages:

global $post; return !( is_page(array(219,357,409)) || in_array($post->post_parent, array(219,357,409)) );”

I used ‘global $post; return !( is_page(array(219,357,409)) || in_array($post->post_parent, array(219,357,409)) )’

It works perfect! Thanks again!
