Adding parent as title for page sidebar navigation

Hello.

I’m trying to add the parent page name as a title to the sidebar navigation for subpages, but I can’t seem to get it to work. Based on other support tickets, I’ve modified the functions-enfold.php file in two different methods and added a function to my child theme’s functions.php file, but this doesn’t seem to be working. Below, I’ve pasted what I’ve tried so far.

Thanks in advance for your help!

FOR THE FUNCTIONS-ENFOLD.PHP FILE, I’VE TRIED:

First trial
Found:
$default_sidebar = false;

Added beneath line above:
$sidebar_menu .= get_the_title($parent);

Second trial
Found:
$default_sidebar = false;
$sidebar_menu .= “<nav class=’widget widget_nav_menu $display_child_pages’><ul class=’nested_nav’>”;
$sidebar_menu .= $children;
$sidebar_menu .= “</nav>”;

Replaced with:

$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’>”;
$sidebar_menu .= “$parent“;
$sidebar_menu .= $children;
$sidebar_menu .= “</nav>”;

FOR THE CHILD THEME’S FUNCTIONS.PHP FILE I ADDED:
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’, ‘widget_nav_hide_child’, $args, $post);

$children = wp_list_pages($args);

if ($children)
{
$default_sidebar = false;
$sidebar_menu .= “<nav class=’widget widget_nav_menu $display_child_pages’><ul class=’nested_nav’>”;
$sidebar_menu .= $children;
$sidebar_menu .= “</nav>”;
}
}

$sidebar_menu = apply_filters(‘avf_sidebar_menu_filter’, $sidebar_menu, $args, $post);

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