   Greetings,

   I am customizing a theme for a client and wondering about Subpages and the current_page_item function.

   When on this page, you can see that the Photos menu item responds to the corresponding CSS class -

   Yet when on a subpage, it does not.

   What do I need to do to have it behave properly, having the Photos link styled per the current_page_item class when on subpages? I've read a few WordPress codex pages but frankly am not savvy enough with the functions.php file to know how to achieve this.

   Thanks in advance!

   On your subpage, the current_page_item class in the menu is replaced by current_page_ancestor and current_page_parent.

   Instead of messing around with the functions.php you could probably just change your CSS to:

   .menu ul li.current_page_item a,
   .menu ul li.current_page_parent a {
   	color: #eae1d8;
   }

   And get the same result.

   Ahhh, I was way over-thinking it. Thanks for your help, works like a charm!
