Get parent page url to show up when it is in child pages

by

You can use something like this to get the parent page URL (and show its page title):

<?php if ( $post->post_parent ) { ?>
 <a href="https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/192895/<?php echo get_permalink( $post->post_parent ); ?>" >
    <?php echo get_the_title( $post->post_parent ); ?>
 </a>
<?php } ?>

If you are running this code outside of the loop (thanks @BorisKuzmanov), then use this:

<?php global $post;
  if ( $post->post_parent ) { ?>
    <a href="https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/192895/<?php echo get_permalink( $post->post_parent ); ?>" >
    <?php echo get_the_title( $post->post_parent ); ?>
    </a>
<?php } ?>
