1 If you look at the source code of get_the_title you will see that there is no difference between the two ways of writing the same thing, because if you call it without a parameter it is supposed to be the current ID. 2 There is no substantial difference between the two loops you use. … Read more
If it is a category page, you can get the id of the current category by using get_category: $category = get_category( get_query_var( ‘cat’ ) ); $cat_id = $category->cat_ID; EDIT: You could use the variable $cat_id inside your query instead of ‘Bristol’ and it would pull the correct category for each page.

The following works for me, testing with TwentyTwelve. Using load-{$pagenow} instead of admin_init avoids the checking for the global $pagenow. See comments for further info: // Run only when editing a page // For new pages load-page-new.php should be used // See: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.5.1/wp-admin/admin.php#L217 add_action( ‘load-page.php’, ‘hide_editor_wpse_88886’ ); function hide_editor_wpse_88886() { // Not really necessary, but … Read more
Use ancestors: $ancestors = array_reverse( get_post_ancestors( $post->ID ) ); // reverse ancestors to make it more intuitive if ( isset( $ancestors[0] ) ) { if ( isset( $ancestors[1] ) ) { // 3rd tier $parent_id = $post->post_parent; } else { // 2nd tier $parent_id = $post->ID; } $args = array( ‘depth’ => 1, ‘child_of’ => … Read more
