looks like you were right this was surrounding code.

Thank you!

sorry – and thanx much for the quick response – I took out the exclude I was using to try and simplify things – which was not as intelligent =|

<ul id="dropmenu">
<?php wp_list_pages('exclude=' . get_page_by_title('Privacy Policy') -> ID . '&sort_column=menu_order&title_li='); ?>
</ul>

the exclude is working – but somehow leaves an open tag I think? I found this – not sure if it pertains to my situation:

Here is what the above outputs:

Well I will give it a day or two and if no answer – post again.

As far as context – I am using it to list the menu items.

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

anyone else on this? I have been trying to track down a solution to this for a while…

how did you resolve this?

wp_list_pages isn’t validating for me.

thanks much for this post – solved my situation exactly. I was also able to set a style for current_page_parent – so the parent has one style the child another.

Hey thank you for that!

I didn’t realize that current page was included in the class description.

To achieve what I was looking for in my case was to add current_page_item to my hover class. I suppose you could have different styling for hover and current_page_item too.

from:
#dropmenu a:hover {

to:
#dropmenu .current_page_item a, .current_page_item a:hover {
