Oh yes, here’s the blog I’m working on: http://site.naturalkidz.com/blog/
Other strangeness is that I edited the right sidebar title from “Blogroll” to “Links” but it’s not sticking either.

Links shows as Links on my screen.
Regarding the about links, can you post the code after <div id="navigation"> from your header.php please..
Just what comes after the form.
Thank you for responding! Yes, the “links” was a caching issue on my machine. But here’s the code you asked for:
<li<?php if (is_home()) echo ” class=\”selected\””; ?>>“>Home
<?php
$pages = BX_get_pages();
if ($pages) {
foreach ($pages as $page) {
$page_id = $page->ID;
$page_title = $page->post_title;
$page_name = $page->post_name;
if ($page_name == “archives”) {
(is_page($page_id) || is_archive() || is_search() || is_single())?$selected = ‘ class=”selected”‘:$selected=”;
echo “<li”.$selected.”>Archives\n”;
}
elseif($page_name == “about”) {
(is_page($page_id))?$selected = ‘ class=”selected”‘:$selected=”;
echo “<li”.$selected.”>About\n”;
}
elseif ($page_name == “contact”) {
(is_page($page_id))?$selected = ‘ class=”selected”‘:$selected=”;
echo “<li”.$selected.”>Contact\n”;
}
elseif ($page_name == “about_short”) {/*ignore*/}
else {
(is_page($page_id))?$selected = ‘ class=”selected”‘:$selected=”;
echo “<li”.$selected.”>$page_title\n”;
}
}
}
?>
I think it’s something to do with this function, i’m just having a look at the theme files now…
BX_get_pages
Will post back in a mo..
From taking a look at the function, i think it’s a case of it picking up posts/pages with the wrong status… it doesn’t look like it will do a good job of filtering out the correct pages…
If you want to list pages, the above
list can be replaced with something like…
<ul>
<li<?php if(is_home()) print' class="current_page_item"';?>><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>">Home</a></li>
<?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&hierarchical=0&title_li='); ?>
</ul>
Then find this in style.css
#navigation .selected,
Change that to…
#navigation .current_page_item,
NOTE: Remove the amp; part showing next to the AND symbol, (forum bug).
Oh cool! I have to run to a meeting, but I will try this as soon as I can. Thank you so much for your help! I wanted to add other items to the nav bar anyhow and I think your way will allow me to do that more easily. Out of curiosity, are you seeing a broken image under my RSS links area? I’m having an awful time of cached pages for some reason even after clearning my cache.
Thanks again!

Thank you so much t31os for the great help! I changed the code as you suggested and it did a couple of quirky things, like it changed it on the sub pages and the home took a long time to recognize the changes. I went in and changed the title of the about page to “About Us” and then it finally worked on the homepage. It would seem that this template may be a bit quirky! Is there a template you recommend that is more stable that I can style like the one I have now?
Thanks again for the help!
