   Hi,

   I am using categories in my top navigation here

   http://west-ham-fans.com

   I need a home link to be the first link in that bar, but cannot find any solution to this. This is mainly due to the fact that they are indeed categories here, and not pages.

   All I can think to do is change my top navigation to be pages instead of links - problem solved. But then how will I assign categories to each individual page? (ie News page - display news categories, football results - displays football results categories)

   What is your guys advice to solve this? I tried 'page links to' which is great but add the link to the pages list on the RHS - not my top nav (as these are cat's)!!!

   Thanks for ahelp in advance :)

   what happens if you add
   <li><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>">Home</a></li>
   to your navbar code in header.php
   play with it

   better yet, this will work with your CSS

   <li<?php if (is_home()) { echo ' class="current-cat"'; ) ?>>
     <a class="fadeThis" href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>"
       <span>Home</span>
     </a>
   </li>

   I tried that valendesigns, but im pretty sure im missing something basic when i paste the code in:

   <!-- header -->
   <div id="header-wrap">
   <div id="header" class="block-content">
   <!-- main navigation -->
   <div id="nav-wrap1">
   <div id="nav-wrap2">
   <ul id="nav">
   <?php

   <li<?php if (is_home()) { echo ' class="current-cat"'; ) ?>>
   "
   <span>Home</span>
   
   

   if((get_option('show_on_front')<>'page') && (get_option('arclite_topnav')<>'categories')) {
   if(is_home() && !is_paged()){ ?>
   <li id="nav-homelink" class="current_page_item">" title="<?php _e('You are Home','arclite'); ?>"><span><?php _e('Home','arclite'); ?></span>
   <?php } else { ?>
   <li id="nav-homelink">" title="<?php _e('Click for Home','arclite'); ?>"><span><?php _e('Home','arclite'); ?></span>
   <?php
   }
   } ?>
   <?php

   I have just shown a section of the code on the header.php here - where am I going wrong? (as you most prob can see, php is not my strong point)

   the <?php was in the wrong place
   

   <!-- header -->
     <div id="header-wrap">
      <div id="header" class="block-content">
         <!-- main navigation -->
        <div id="nav-wrap1">
         <div id="nav-wrap2">
           <ul id="nav">
             <li<?php if (is_home()) { echo ' class="current-cat"'; ) ?>>
               <a href=<?php get_option('home'); ?>">
                 <span>Home</span>
               </a>
             <li>
   
        <?php if((get_option('show_on_front')<>'page') && (get_option('arclite_topnav')<>'categories')) {
              if(is_home() && !is_paged()){ ?>
               <li id="nav-homelink" class="current_page_item"><a>" title="<?php _e('You are Home','arclite'); ?>"><span><?php _e('Home','arclite'); ?></span></a>
              <?php } else { ?>
               <li id="nav-homelink"><a>" title="<?php _e('Click for Home','arclite'); ?>"><span><?php _e('Home','arclite'); ?></span></a>
             <?php
              }
             } ?>
            <?php

   Man the forum kept removing parts of the code, it's fixed now I think.

    I tried both of these, no joy sadly.
    Dont suppose anyone else has a solution?

    thats because whatever is after the last <?php at the end is not shown and therefore if you don't have a closing ?> it will not work.

    Whats your error?

    you are adding this code above your other nav parts and before any php tags but directly after the nav ul?

    <li<?php if (is_home()) { echo ' class="current-cat"'; } ?>>
      <a href=<?php get_option('home'); ?>">
        <span>Home</span>
      </a>
    <li>

    the code you posted above is correct, the one you wrote before wasn't - missing }
    that's probably why he gets errors
