show child pages in menu

Sorry, false alarm, I guess I figured that out — I just removed the class in the function, right below that comment, so the code now looks like as shown below. But that didn’t handle what I was hoping it would also solve which is, once I click on a child page, the menu title changes to the parent of that child. Is there a way to tweak this code so that the title doesn’t change when you click on the child (i.e., so the menu/section title stays the same for the whole section)? Maybe you want me to start a new thread for this?

function avia_sidebar_menu($echo = true)
    {
        $sidebar_menu = "";

        $subNav = avia_get_option('page_nesting_nav');
  
        
        $the_id = @get_the_ID();
        $args = array();
		global $post;

        if($subNav && $subNav != 'disabled' && !empty($the_id) && is_page())
        {
            $subNav = false;
            $parent = $post->ID;
            $sidebar_menu = "";

            if (!empty($post->post_parent))
            {
                if(isset($post->ancestors)) $ancestors  = $post->ancestors;
                if(!isset($ancestors)) $ancestors  = get_post_ancestors($post->ID);
                $root	= count($ancestors)-1;
                $parent = $ancestors[$root];
            }

            $args = array('title_li'=>'', 'child_of'=>$parent, 'echo'=>0, 'sort_column'=>'menu_order, post_title');

            //enables user to change query args
            $args = apply_filters('avia_sidebar_menu_args', $args, $post);

            //hide or show child pages in menu - if the class is set to 'widget_nav_hide_child' the child pages will be hidden
            $display_child_pages = apply_filters('avia_sidebar_menu_display_child', $args, $post);

            $children = wp_list_pages($args);

            if ($children)
            {

				$default_sidebar = false;
				$parent = get_the_title($post->post_parent);
				$parentlink = get_the_permalink($post->post_parent);
				$sidebar_menu .= "<nav class='widget widget_nav_menu $display_child_pages'><ul class='nested_nav'>";
				$sidebar_menu .= "<h3 class='widgettitle'><a href='{$parentlink}'>$parent</a></h3>";
				$sidebar_menu .= $children;
				$sidebar_menu .= "</ul></nav>";
            }
        }

        $sidebar_menu = apply_filters('avf_sidebar_menu_filter', $sidebar_menu, $args, $post);

        if($echo == true) { echo $sidebar_menu; } else { return $sidebar_menu; }
    }

You have to be logged into the admin to view the site (credentials in Private Content). I’m referring to the Annual Symposium section — http://03601fe.netsolhost.com/wordpress1/annual-symposium/. When someone clicks on the Photo Entries page — http://03601fe.netsolhost.com/wordpress1/annual-symposium/annual-photo-contest/photo-entries/ — I’d like the sidebar menu title to remain as Annual Symposium instead of changing to Photo Contest.

Thanks and let me know if you have any other questions.

Nice — perfect!! Thank you!!
