   Hello,
   I'm already using a plugin to hide a category from showing up on the front page and on the sidebar with the other categories. Now, is there a plugin to display a link to this hidden category on my navigation(not on category list)?

   Who could tell... if we don't know what your "navigation" is? Where is your navigation? What code is used to make it work? Which theme? Is there a link to the blog?
   The more details you give - the more chances to get a meaningful answer.

   Basically, there's a right bar with the categories listed and the navigation is in the header.php. I've already hidden the category named "Articles". Now, I would like to place a link from the navigation to the "Articles" category.

   I assume the horizontal navigation uses the wp_list_pages template tag.
   1. Can't you just add manually another list item?
   2. Or, you could use the Redirectify plugin and create a Page titled "Articles" and redirect it to that category.

   Hey,
   how would I change the code so that when the user is on the category, the button will have the active class on?

   
<code>
<li><a <?php if (is_home()) echo "class=\"active\""; ?> href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><span>Home</span></a></li>
<li><a <?php if (is_home()) echo "class=\"active\""; ?> href="<?php bloginfo('siteurl'); ?>/category/articles"><span>Articles</span></a></li>
</code>


   I added the second list coded manually. The first one is the one that came with the layout. The first one reads that if the user is on the home page, it will be "active". How would I make it so when the user is on the link from the second list, the list will change into the "active" class? I'm not so good at PHP. I just know HTML and CSS.

   All I know is that I would have to change the following: (is_home()) so it corresponds to the articles category, but I'm not sure what to change it to.

   But I'll go to the site in an hour, hopefully it will be back up.
