For verticle nav (you are using a vert one right?), you style them like so (without child selectors). Make sure you wrap the pages template tag with<div> and <ul> like so:

<div id="nav">
<ul>
<?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&title_li='); ?>
</ul>
</div>

Then the CSS would go like so:

Parent page styling:

#nav ul .page_item a {
color:blue;
}

Sub page styling:

#nav ul li ul .page_item a {
color:red;
font-weight:bold
}

This has been tested. Hope this helps.

Have you looked under Presentation > Theme Editor yet?

You would need to separate out the main nav from the subnav.

I use this for the main nav in header.php:

<!-- Begin Main Navigation -->
<div id="nav">

<ul>
<li class="<?php if (is_home()) { ?>current_page_item<?php } else { ?>page_item<?php } ?>"><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>">Home</a></li>
<?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&depth=1&title_li='); ?>
</ul>

</div>
<!-- End Main Navigation -->

And then I use this on page.php:

<?php if(wp_list_pages("child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0")) { ?>
<!-- Begin Subnav -->
<div id="subnav">
<ul>
<?php wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&sort_column=menu_order&show_date=modified&date_format=$date_format");?>
</ul>
<hr class="hide" />
</div>
<!-- End Subnav -->
<?php } ?>

This will put a subnav on any page that has child pages. If there aren’t any it will not show up.

Great, good to know that it wasn’t the absolute path issue (I’m still confused why though) because that is a great slide show app.

By the way, looking at your site again I noticed that your links page is directed to a page outside of the wp root(“cms” in your case). Not really sure about all the modifications you’ve made to be able to help much more. Good luck.

Go to your wp admin and navigate to the page you named “links”. In the sidebar, click on “Page Template” and specify “links” as the template. It seems as if all the other pages are working correctly, right?.

If “links” isn’t an option than the file (links.php) is either not in your theme’s folder or it isn’t formatted correctly for WP to recognise it as a template file.

It’s an option that you would need to pass to wp_list_cats.

Here’s how:
