Custom Theme Problem

I forgot to add, the code I am using for the navigation bar is:

<li class="<?php if (is_home()) { ?>current_page_item<?php } else { ?>page_item<?php } ?>">
/">
<?php _e('Home',TEMPLATE_DOMAIN); ?>


<?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&depth=1&title_li='); ?>

and on the sidebar for the categories:

<?php wp_list_categories('sort_column=name&show_count=1&title_li=&hierarchical=1&feed=RSS&feed_image='.get_bloginfo('stylesheet_directory').'/images/icons/feed-iconsmall.gif'); ?>

Hope that helps someone to help me.. if that makes sense (lol).

I have the same problem =(
somebody has the answer? please! ??

P.D. In this topic also they have the same problem
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/104401?replies=1

Even in theme ‘default’ if I add this at the end of the file style.css

#sidebar ul li.current-cat a {color:#FF0000;}
#sidebar .pagenav ul li.current_page_item a {color:#FF0000;}

If the ID page is the same ID of the category is highlighted both

I guess it’s a WP bug as no one has any answers mate.

Can any WP coder or staff confirm this bug?

Infected-FX any luck? This is bugging me now :(.

This is not a WP *bug* as if there ever were such a thing. It is theme dependent. Do I know the answer? Sorry. No I don’t.

Oh, just kind of strange as it only happens with categories and if they have the same ID as a page.

It’s always been a bad idea to name cats same as pages or vice versa. Can break all sorts of things, as you seem to have discovered.

No no, the same ID (i.e. 1, 2, 3 etc). You can’t change that.

I did check the WP code that gets executed when using wp_list_categories and is not causing any issue with wp_list_pages.
are you using wp_list_categories ?

Yes I am, here is my code:

<?php wp_list_categories(‘sort_column=name&show_count=1&title_li=&hierarchical=1&feed=RSS&feed_image=’.get_bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’).’/images/icons/feed-icon-10×10.gif’); ?>

This is really really strange and I dont know what causes the wp_list_pages to emit “class=current_page_item” while it is not the current page really.

This suggestion might sound stupid, but try it anyway.
change your ul class=”menu” to ul id=”menu” and change your stylesheet to have #menu instead of .menu

also move the #menu styles to be above #sidebar styles.

see it if it helps.

No luck for me, so I reverted it back. This is real weird, I don’t understand it :s. Does the WP team post on here?

Meaning the devs? No. You might want to hit https://lists.automattic.com/, and check out/sign up for the hackers list.

Oh, well I’m not sure on what to do. You can see what I mean here: https://www.darkgashx.com . Click Television Shows on the right and you will see a nav option at the top gets highlighted.
