Check if a page is a subpage (same CPT) and then show content

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: I have a hierarchical post type. I would like to use conditional HTML to determine if the post is a top level post, or if the post has a parent.

Solution: Use the post ID in the conditional:

[wpv-conditional if="([wpv-post-id item='$parent'] ne [wpv-post-id])"] this is a subpage [/wpv-conditional]

I need to group lists of Works (CPT) together, for instance when there are 5 individual works in a Suite of works. When I view one of the individual works, I want to be able to show a link to the parent work. I know I can do this with [wpv-post-link item="$parent"], but the issue is that I want to add the title "Parent Work:" whenever there is one. When there isn't a parent work, I don't want the title to show. Thus I need to use a conditional. However, I can't get any conditional to work.

I've tried

[wpv-conditional if="[wpv-post-link item="$parent"] ne ''" ]

and many other combinations of this, but nothing works. What can I do?

Hi, you can use the post ID shortcode to test whether there is a hierarchical parent post ID that is different from the current post ID. The system will return the current post's ID if no hierarchical parent post exists.

[wpv-conditional if="([wpv-post-id item='$parent'] ne [wpv-post-id])"] this is a subpage [/wpv-conditional]
