 * Hey.
 * I am having problems with my first page (blog).
    I would like the “hem” (blog)
   in the menu to turn black when I´m at that page. At this moment it doesn´t change
   like the other pages do (when they are active).
 * I have tried to put a current_page_item in the css, but that didn´t help. What
   should I do? Is the problem in the css or in the php? What should I change to
   what?

 * Have you tried using <?php if (is_index()) { echo “current-page”; } ?> on the
   hem li class?

 * so it should look like this:
 *     ```
       <li class="<?php
           if (is_index()) {
              echo "current-page";
           } ?> your current class that's there already">
       ```

 * That doesn´t work.
 * I put it like this
 *     ```
       <ul id="nav">
                          <li class="<?php
           if (is_index()) {
              echo "current-page";
           } ?> class="page_item">
                         <a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>/" title="Hem">Hem</a></li>
                         <?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&depth=1&title_li=');?>
       ```
