Inherit Parent / Ancestor Page Title

Useful way to grab the title from the page ancestor, and setup child page titles.

$current = $post->ID;
$parent = $post->post_parent;
$grandparent_get = get_post($parent);
$grandparent = $grandparent_get->post_parent;

if ($root_parent = get_the_title($grandparent) !== $root_parent = get_the_title($current)) {

    echo get_the_title($grandparent); 

} else {

    echo get_the_title($parent); 

}
