Well If I cant crack it tomorrow I will have to wait a week as Im off for holiday no worries , Thomas em hr on "Highlight Posts Page Menu Option" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/highlight-posts-page-menu-option#post-7512 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 01:24:36 +0000 em hr 7512@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ thomasjamesthomas- Strange... using Chris's code I cannot recreate your problem. Looking at the source of your page: <code><ul class="sf-menu"><li ><a href="http://www.thumbleaf.com/journal">ActionScript</a></code> It looks as if something is stripping out the .current-page-item from your blog page <code><li ></code> Why the space after the li ? Post any parts of your functions.php that you have used to change <code>thematic_access</code> or filter <code>wp_page_menu_args</code> -Gene thomasjamesthomas on "Highlight Posts Page Menu Option" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/highlight-posts-page-menu-option#post-7498 Wed, 28 Oct 2009 06:58:40 +0000 thomasjamesthomas 7498@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ Hum, well it did insert ActionScript in menu but I cant get it to highlight as if it was the preselected option see : <a href="http://www.thumbleaf.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.thumbleaf.com</a> I tried changing 'menu_class' => 'menu', to 'current_page_item' to indicate that i want ActionScript highlighted similarly to if you would go to one of the other pages but didnt work. Hum, Any ideas of how to also highlight ActionScript ? The CSS for menu from CLASSIC.css : .menu { padding:7px 0 8px 0; overflow:hidden; /* clears the inner float */ } .menu ul, .menu ul { margin:0; list-style:none; clear:both; } .menu ul ul { display:none; } .menu li { display:inline; } .menu a { display:block; float:left; margin:0 10px 0 0; padding:1px 6px; background:#cccccc; color:#000000; border-top:1px solid #cccccc; text-decoration:none; } .menu a:hover { background:#cccccc; color:#000000; border-color:#3B86C7; } .menu .current_page_item a { background:#5C9BD1; color:#fff; border-color:#3B86C7; } .menu a:focus { background:#4887BD; color:#fff; border-color:#2772B3; } Thanks, Thomas thomasjamesthomas on "Highlight Posts Page Menu Option" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/highlight-posts-page-menu-option#post-7496 Wed, 28 Oct 2009 06:12:26 +0000 thomasjamesthomas 7496@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ Great ! Thanks for your help there Chris ^^ Thomas Chris on "Highlight Posts Page Menu Option" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/highlight-posts-page-menu-option#post-7456 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 11:40:37 +0000 Chris 7456@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ Hi Thomas, remove the page 'ActionScript' and add the following code to your child theme's functions.php: <pre><code>function childtheme_menu_args($args) { $args = array( 'show_home' => 'ActionScript', 'sort_column' => 'menu_order', 'menu_class' => 'menu', 'echo' => true ); return $args; } add_filter('wp_page_menu_args','childtheme_menu_args');</code></pre> Chris thomasjamesthomas on "Highlight Posts Page Menu Option" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/highlight-posts-page-menu-option#post-7447 Sun, 25 Oct 2009 20:04:24 +0000 thomasjamesthomas 7447@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ Flashblog here : <a href="http://www.thumbleaf.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.thumbleaf.com</a> When you land on the blog you get to the posts page (ActionScript) and I would like that page to automatically highlight the menu ActionScript option. Similar to if you click on ActionScript in menu and (also) get to the posts page: You can see that then it is highlighted. What php is required for this? I am aware that of course you could set a static page to your front page and then the menu will highlight that static front page when you get to the site. But I don't want that; I want my posts page as front page and I would like to have it highlighted from start when you first get to page so that it is clear that that is the page you are viewing. Observe, please visit site to see what I mean as the highlighting is already working, just not for when u first get to site... Thanks Thomas
