   Hi there, I have been trying to nut this out but get stuck on why the code sends back my list items with a class="page_item page-item-2?

   I have coped my sidebar code that displays the list and the code that gets outputted by wordpress?

   Any suggestions to get a clean
   <-li> output <-/li>
   without the class="page_item page-item-2 as shown below?

   <div id="nav">
   <ul>
   <?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?>
   </ul>
   </div><!-- end nav -->

   This is what the output looks like
   

   <ul>
   <li class="page_item page-item-2"><a href="http://help.com.au/?page_id=2" title="About">About</a></li>
   </ul>

   I'd like to know why the output is a problem for you.

   it validates, it gives you options, but you don't have to use them, so why is it causing you trouble? - often people focus on the wrong thing to fix, which I think is what you're doing here.

   I asked this of someone the other day, and he immediately turned into a spastic, so I hope you don't take it the wrong way but:

   What do you REALLY want? - choking this output can't be it.

   Problem is that my css has no effect for `#nav ul li a:hover{
   color: #CD1041
   }`

   But I will research it some more

   it could be a case of nested ULs...

   try #nav ul li ul li a:hover

   I find that once you get specific, you have to be really specific.

   you could also try .page_item a:hover (which is why the page_item is there).

   Thanks Ivovic, I checked for nested ul li but that is not a problem. I will do some more research on the matter

   did you try .page_item a:hover?

   I had to be super specific and with your help this works now with the following:
   #nav ul li.page_item a:hover

   Thanks heaps

   I've got a few specific ones in my style sheet as well. For some reason well-nested classes sometimes don't activate unless you're extremely explicit.

   Anyway, I'm glad you sorted it out in lieu of hacking the core code.
