How to get parent page link?

[Cesare Gilento]

Good morning,

I'm trying to add a parent page link to the bottom navigation without using plugins.

For posts I've been able to output the first category link with the following code:

$category = get_the_category();
$category_markup = '<div class="pagination-up floatleft aligncenter"><a href="' . get_category_link( $category[0]->term_id ) . '">&uarr; ' . $category[0]->cat_name . '</a></div>';
if( $category[0] ) {
    echo $category_markup;
}

Here's an example: https://www.cesaregilento.it/2018/02/01/top-of-the-world/

I'd like to achieve a similar result with pages. For example, if the page has a parent page, I'd like to output the link to the parent page. If the page hasn't a parent, I'd like to output the homepage link.

Is it possible without the use of plugins?

Assuming you're in the loop:

if ( $post->post_parent ) {
 $parent = '<a href="' . get_permalink( $post->post_parent ) .'">' . get_the_title( $post->post_parent ) . '</a>';
}
