Hi everyone,
I just updated to Thematic 0.9.7.7, and now the function included in the child theme to create the 'Home' menu link no longer works. It just shows the name of the page ('Welcome!') as the link, but I don't want that. Does anyone know why this is happening?
As well, this is my first Thematic update I've done on a site built with a child theme. Does each update make the widgets go back to default? Or could this be caused because I updated manually and not through Wordpress?
Thanks!
try this:
function childtheme_menu_args($args) {
$args['show_home'] = 'Home';
return $args;
}
add_filter('wp_page_menu_args','childtheme_menu_args');Think you need to add a priority 20 to this filter.

Thank-you, that worked!
Does anyone have an answer to my second question? I have a couple other websites using Thematic, but I don't want to update to the latest version if it will reset my widgets to default and lose all the customization I have done. I would be updating these site through the Wordpress admin back-end.
Chris you're right:
function childtheme_menu_args($args) {
$args['show_home'] = 'Home';
return $args;
}
add_filter('wp_page_menu_args','childtheme_menu_args', 20);Priority of 20 is needed.
Thanks in general for the help on this forum - I'm getting to grips with WP customisation etc. and have been struggling to get 'home' showing in the menu and this post was the first that worked for me.
Trying to understand why a priority of 20... I played around and found that anything above 10 suffices. This is because there's another filter on wp_page_menu_args within thematic that sets show_home to FALSE and it has a default priority of 10.
Not essential knowledge but it's helped me understand what's going on!
