   I have a home page and a news page.

   News page is my blog, when on the news page or homepage the relevent item in my navigation gets the class 'current_page_item' so I can highlight it in CSS - this works fine.

   The problem is when I go to a post in the news page the news page item in my navigation is not getting passed 'current_page_item' or 'current_page_ancestor'?! I can see the lodgic in classes.php but it seems like it doesn't work correctly, any help?

   This has got me stumped.

   Thanks

   I just noticed if I echo out the parent of the page i am on like so:

   <?php echo '<a href="'.get_permalink($post->post_parent).'">'.get_the_title($post->post_parent).'</a>'; ?>

   each of the post page parents are echoing as themselves and not news? Its like they are not assosiated with the news page?

   Hmm I have still had no look with this, I would of thought its something that all wordpress blogs with a homepage would want?! It works fine for other pages that have parents just not the post<blog...

   Hi adam.codefor,

   I just had the same problem. For me it was a plugin that was causing problems. Luckily one of my own so I could resolve the issue. The problem is that the plugin calls the get_pages() function and that that array gets cached so the wp_list_pages() function will read that cache instead of fetching it out of the database. For some reason the current_page_ancestor class doesn't get set then.

   The only thing I could do was flushing the cache (=wp_cache_flush()) to force WP to rebuild the cache and then it worked.
