Problem with Parent/Child Static Pages
-
This is my first post to this forum. I did a search re. my issue but didn’t find anything.
I’m building a WP site on a Yahoo host using the Thesis theme.

The site currently only includes static pages and I have a couple parent/child situations, e.g. How to Help > Donate.
I have set the Thesis design options so that the parent nav link and background colors are the same as the child ones. So, for example, if I’m on Donate, I want the How to Help nav item to have white text on a green background. However, that’s not happening. It seems like the How to Help page is not being assigned the current-parent class.
I asked about this in the Thesis forums and nobody was sure of what was causing the problem. However, one person suggested it might be related to the Yahoo Customizable Permalinks plugin and that it’s causing WP to not recognize the parent category if permalinks aren’t configured a certain way. But she didn’t have an idea of how to solve it.
I wonder if anyone here has experienced the same problem and found a solution to it? I tried installing some other permalink plugins and deactivating the Yahoo one, but that only resulted in the URLs breaking.
I’m also not clear on how the permalink structure applies to static pages, since the default URLs generated don’t reflect it at all.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
