   I am trying to add a link in the navigation bar of my site that is not a page. I want it to be a link that allows people to download my resume. I am using Lunatic Fringe.

   I have already tried something that did not work...

   From this:

   <div id="sub_menu">
           <?php if(function_exists('wp_page_menu')) : ?>
               <?php wp_page_menu ('show_home=1&depth=1&title_li='); ?>
             <?php else : ?>
   
   	 <ul>
               <li><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>">Home</a></li>
               <?php wp_list_pages('depth=1&title_li='); ?>
            </ul>                       
   
   <?php endif; ?>

   to this...

   <div id="sub_menu">
           <?php if(function_exists('wp_page_menu')) : ?>
               <?php wp_page_menu ('show_home=1&depth=1&title_li='); ?>
             <?php else : ?>
   
   	 <ul>
               <li><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>">Home</a></li>
               <li><a href="skalinaresume.doc">Resume</a></li>
               <?php wp_list_pages('depth=1&title_li='); ?>
            </ul>                       
   
   <?php endif; ?>

   If you are using 2.7, the code that you posted will not work, due to the fact that the function wp_page_menu() does exist. The following code should get you to where you want to be:

   <div id="sub_menu">
   	 <ul>
               <li><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>">Home</a></li>
               <li><a href="skalinaresume.doc">Resume</a></li>
               <?php wp_list_pages('depth=1&title_li='); ?>
            </ul>
   </div>

   also, you should use an absolute path to your resume, especially if you are using permalinks.

   I'm having a similar issue with my site. For some reason I can get the link to appear on every page but the home page.

   Upon recommendation of some support site I went to the bottom of the header.php page and added the following code after the reference to the home button.

   <li<?php if (is_home()) { echo ' class="current_page_item"'; } ?>><a href="http://mywebsiteforum">Forum</a>

   the instructions then said to make a similar change to a home.php but I don't see a home.php listed in my theme pages.
   See. example (www.moviestupidity.com) if you click on about, you see the forum link, but its not on the main page.

   glee never mind, I just figured out (thanks to this thread) that replacing part of my code with this

   <?php wp_list_pages('depth=1&title_li='); ?>

   fixed it.
