   Hi,

   I have this widget that list all the pages from current family of pages. I want to change the title "menu" for the parent's name. Here is what I did:

   function my_widget_title() {
     global $post;
     if( $post->post_parent ){
       return get_the_title($post->post_parent);
     }
   }
   add_filter('widget_title', 'my_widget_title');

   But this change the title of all my widgets... Is there a way to specify which widget I want to change the title? Like I want to change the title of this Widget:
   <div id="primary" class="aside main-aside"> ... </div>

   Thank you for your help!

   hmm.. at first i thought you wanted to know how to rename your widget areas... but now i think you want to rename a specific widget? If that is the case, you usually can enter any title you want for a widget in the widget dashboard. If that is not what you are after, please try to explain a little more as I obviously didn't understand the question! :)

   Ok thank you for helping me. I have my latereal sub-menu which list all the pages from the current page's parent. So I want my Widget title to be the current page parent's Title. So the title has to be dynamically created and could not be entered in the dashboard. The function I suggested do the trick but for all my widgets. So I want to make the function I wrote in my first post work in only my sidebar widget and not the others.

   Thanks for your advices.

   could you post your code?

   if you are using wp_list_pages to generate the list of child pages you can use

   the title_li argument to create a title for your list

   wp_list_pages('title_li=');

   I found the answer!

   In the widget itself, I had to assign the var title to the parent's title insteat of making a form and taking the value from it. It wasn't Thematic related at all.

   Thanks anyway for your help! Much appreciated.

   BTW: J'ai vu dans un autre billet que tu parles français? ;-)
