   Hi,

   I've got WP 2.5.

   And I have a page on my web site called 'Career Development', currently accessed by index.php?page_id=30. So I've added the following to my sidebar, so that if I'm on that page, the link will be bold.....except it doesn't work :(

   <?
   if (is_page(array(30,'career-development','Career Development'))) {
   	echo '<li class="bold"><a href="index.php?page_id=30">Career Development</a></li>';
   } else {
   	echo '<li><a href="index.php?page_id=30">Career Development</a></li>';
   }
   ?>

   I obviously have a .bold {font-weight:bold} in my CSS.

   It works for my is_category() if statements, but just not this :(

   Can anyone make any suggestions why it isn't working?

   Many thanks!

   Hate to *bump*, but any ideas anyone?

   Thanks for your time.

   Are 30, 'career-development', and 'Career Development' all the same page? If so, then this is an error, and you only need one and shouldn't use an array. I just noticed your permalinks, so I'd use 30 of the three choices.

   Thanks for the reply :) Yes, they're all the same page.

   page_id = 30
   page-slug = career-development
   page-title = Career Development

   I used the array just to future proof it. Right now we're using index.php?page_id=30 but in the future plan to change the htaccess/rewrite engine so it uses the page title 'Career Development'.

   So you reckon just use if (is_page('30')) { for now ?

   Thanks.

   Yes, the ID works even if you have pretty permalinks.

   Aaaah cool, I'll just use the ID then. Fingers crossed :)

   Brilliant, that worked.

   Maybe I should have stuck with the ID instead of trying to be smart hehe.

   Thanks again!
