In fact im starting on both, but not being able to achieve the most simple things its really frustrating.<br /> In functions.php</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php if ( function_exists( &#39;register_nav_menus&#39; ) ) { register_nav_menus( array( &#39;top_menu&#39; =&gt; &#39;My Custom Top Menu&#39;, &#39;sidebar_menu&#39; =&gt; &#39;Super Sidebar Menu&#39;, &#39;main_menu&#39; =&gt; &#39;Main Menu&#39; ) ); } ?&gt;</code></pre> <p>on my header.php<br /> ` &lt;div id="navigation"&gt;</p> <ul> &lt;?php wp_nav_menu( array ( 'menu' =&gt; 'Top Menu') ); ?&gt; </ul> <p>&lt;div&gt;`<br /> and<br /> <pre><code>&lt;div id=&quot;sub-nav&quot;&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;?php wp_nav_menu( array ( &#39;menu&#39; =&gt; &#39;Main Menu&#39; ) ); ?&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/div&gt;</code></pre> <p>The question is: How can i add an active state on a menu link?<br /> It's a simple question, but after 2 hours googling for an answer im still out of luck.<br /> Im using a free template and trying to convert it into wordpress for learning purposes using the Toolbox theme.</p> <p>Thanks in advance. </p>
