   Is there a way to make a Category a Navigation button?

   like this:
   HOME | ABOUT | CATEGORY 1

   Could hardcode the Category archive link in the template that houses your navigation.

   just create a page called "category 1"

   use a plugin called page links to to set the page to the category url.

   you should be all set

   It's a great mod!
   but...

   the class of the menuitem that represents the categoy will not change to 'active' or 'current-page-item'. My visitor cannot see wha page he is on.

   Any thoughts on how to solve that?

   Thanks

   if (get_option('show_on_front') != 'page') {
                       $class = '';
                       if (is_home() || is_archive() || is_single() || is_paged() || is_search()) {
                           $class = 'current_page_item';
                       }
               ?>
                   <li class="<?php echo $class; ?>"><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>">Home</a></li>
                   <?php } ?>
                   <?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&depth=1&title_li='); ?>

   May be the cause of eh above problem? I don't understand it.

   its a great plugin because i dont have to edit header.php (or any other) so if i change themes the navigation stays there (as long as i add appropriate css to the new theme)

   also i dont have du uncomment the standard list_pages navi

   but as kimmeehh pointed out the current_item highlight isnt working.

   if anyone finds a fix please share!
