Get page->parent's name?

Question

How can i get the name of a page's parent?
I can only get it's id.

        $page = get_queried_object();
        $pageparent = $page->post_parent;

Answer 1

Once you've got the id of a post or page, use get_the_title($id) to get the page title (which is what I assume you mean by name)

Answer 2

Note that get_queried_object will only work on pages with a single post (or page) on them. For example, if you were trying to find a parent of a post on a category archive page, get_queried_object would return the category, not the current post.

So, using the following would work in more circumstances:

global $post;
$parent_title = get_the_title( $post->post_parent );

Answer 3

global $wpdb;
$page_id = YOUR_PAGE_ID; //your page id here.
$parent_page_id = $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( 
    "
    SELECT post_parent 
    FROM $wpdb->posts 
    WHERE ID=$page_id;
    " 
) );
$parent_page_title = get_the_title($parent_page_id);
echo $parent_page_title; //this will print parent page title.
