  I am using WP as a CMS.

  I have a Local Nav relevant to the current page I wish to populate with Child pages. I want Grandchild pages to exist for each Child page.

  All I want is the general functionality you see on nearly any large site with 3 tiers. I want all the Grandparents children to show when in that Grandparent, and when a child is selected, only have the grandchildren under that selected parent to show.

  Using this code, it does not show the grandchildren.

  <ul>
   <?php //if current post's parent is not 0, track back up the chain until parent is zero
  //then use that as the value passed in for child_of
  $emp_parent_post = 1;
  $emp_testingpage = $post->ID;
  //print $emp_testingpage." ";
  while ($emp_parent_post <> 0){
  $emp_parent_post = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT post_parent FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE ID = $emp_testingpage");
  //print $emp_parent_post." ";
  if ($emp_parent_post <> 0) $emp_testingpage = $emp_parent_post;
  //print $emp_testingpage." ";
  }
  
  ?>
  <?php
  wp_list_pages("title_li=&Sub-Pages&depth=1&child_of=" . $emp_testingpage);
  ?>
  
  </ul>

  Affecting the depth will indeed show the grandchildren, but I don’t want to show them unless their parent is selected.

  Wrong site I’m afraid. You need to be over at http://wordpress.org That’s the support site for the software. These forums are for the blogs hosted here at wp.com and we don’t have file level access.
