Designed to display the Parent, Child, and Grandchild hierarchy in the most straightforward way out of the box.
This plugin will provide a widget that locks the Parent page as the widget title.
If this is a child of the top parent, the widget will display the Parent as the title of the widget and a ul of links for all siblings of the current page.
If this is a grandchild of the top parent, the Widget will display the same as the scenario above with the addition of a sub ul of all siblings of this grandchild.
Test it out, if it doesn’t work like you want out of the box, this plugin isn’t for you.
