$depth = count(get_ancestors($post, ‘post’));

//something in here

}

Hope this helps

If you would like too get a different echo for each parent/grandparent? How would you do that and where should i put the code?

My page is : http://trollback.se/urskog/products/lov/walnut/

So I want headerMeny to be highlighted and “lov” when on a subpage to them. So how should i code this?
This is a extract from my current meny:

<li class="mainNav_Lov">
<a href="/products/lov/walnut”>

THIS IS MY HEADER MENY:

<li class="products">
<a href="/products/lov/walnut”>

Basicly I want to get “LÖV” highlighed with : id = current2
and I want Products to be hlighlighted : id= current

Thank you!

here is the code to get the depth of categories;

function wt_get_depth($id = ”, $depth = ”, $i = 0)
{
global $wpdb;
global $term_taxonomy;

if($depth == ”)
{
if(is_category())
{
if($id == ”)
{
$id = $term_taxonomy->term_id;
}
$depth = $wpdb->get_var(“SELECT parent FROM $wpdb->term_taxonomy WHERE term_id = ‘”.$id.”‘”);
return wt_get_depth($id, $depth, $i);
}
}
elseif($depth == “0″)
{
return $i;
}
else
{
$depth = $wpdb->get_var(“SELECT parent FROM $wpdb->term_taxonomy WHERE term_id = ‘”.$depth.”‘”);
$i++;
return wt_get_depth($id, $depth, $i);
}
}

the line finding the parent of the post should be:

if ($post->post_parent) $parent = $post->post_parent;

not:

if ($post->post_parent) $parent = get_page($post->post_parent);
