$page->parent() method

Return this page’s parent Page, or–if given a selector–the closest matching parent.

Omit all arguments if you just want to retrieve the parent of this page, which would be the same as the $page->parent property. To retrieve the closest parent matching your selector, specify either a selector string or array.

Example

// Retrieve the parent
$parent = $page->parent();

// Retrieve the closest parent using template "products"
$parent = $page->parent("template=products"); 

Usage

// basic usage
$page = $page->parent();

// usage with all arguments
$page = $page->parent($selector = '');

Arguments

NameType(s)Description
selector (optional)string, array

Optional selector. When used, it returns the closest parent matching the selector.

Return value

Page

Returns a Page or a NullPage when there is no parent or the selector string did not match any parents.

Thanks are due to ProcessWire and the amazing system and set of modules that are in place.” —Unni Krishnan, Founder of PigtailPundits
