I’ve tried both the suggestions above and the current_page_item class is still not showing up in the html. Anyone know why?

P.S. I’m using the WP SLIDER theme, so all my menu links are # (hash) values. Might this be causing the problem? And if so, anyway to modify the code above to work with # values?

I second this. I’ve tried ALL the search plugins out there and none of them do this. And I’m not advanced enough in php knowledge to write a plugin that does, so… anyone any ideas?

Unfortunately, I’ve already implemented all those well thought out recommendations and the problem is still there… thanks for responding though.

honestly, I’m really surprised that no-one seems to care about this.

but.. i’d also like to add – for the benefit of anyone else who is experiencing this seemingly anomalous stupidity – that there seems to be a cutoff point at 225 lines of code. If I add a 226th, the entire content of the post disappears in the blog (though not in the admin posting area). This is one of the most annoying things I’ve ever come across on wordpress! oh… and I’ve just verified that one of the articles I posted over on my other blog (v. 2.5.1) is 666 lines of code (I know scary huh!?), when viewed in dreamweaver. So why was I able to publish that, if I’m not able to publish 225 lines of code in v.2.6.5? I mean seriously? What the…

well. I just spoke to my host (bluehost) and they increased my memory size, but that didn’t seem to resolve the problem. the only workaround that I’ve figured out is to post say 50 lines of code, then publish/save. then post the next 50 below (in the same post), then publish/save, then post the next 50 below (in the same post), then publish/save… etc. etc. etc. ad nauseum. how annoying!

okay, i get it. code has been pastebinned here:

code for second post (split into three posts on here)

[huge chunk of code moderated – please use a pastebin service]

here’s the actual code for the second post, as it appears in my editor (note: I may have to split it into two posts in here, since i think there’s a limit… the irony!)

Hiya. It’s just unbelievable that no-one has responded to this yet! I tried importing the 2.6.2 code you listed above into bookmark-template.php in 2.5.1 – and i still can’t get it to work… (I’m not changing my blog to 2.6 ‘cos i really don’t like it at all…) so wondering if this actually works for you?

Hi Otto. Thanks for the quick response.
Here’s the resulting code in my sidebar:

Yep. I know it was five months ago, but t0v3’s solution is absolutely spot on. Perfect, in fact.

If anyone’s reading this who wants a little more info about the solution, here’s how I implemented it:

wrote this file in dreamweaver:

<?
header ("Location: https://mydomain.com/index.php");
?>

Saved it as redirect.php and uploaded it to my theme folder (it doesn’t matter where you upload it, just as long as you can find it when you need it – see below)

Then I went to my cPanel and modified the file called

wp-login.php

Only one line needed changing and that was line 78.

t0v3 recommended changing it to:

$redirect_to = 'redirect.php';

But this will only work if you uploaded the file redirect.php to your root folder. I saved it my theme folder, so I had to stipulate the following directories:

/wp-content/themes/stitched-10/redirect.php

so line 78 looked like this:

$redirect_to = 'https://www.mydomain.net/wp-content/themes/stitched-10/redirect.php';

(that should all be on one line.)

and then it worked!

No hassle. No messing around in the theme’s other .php files. Just pure and simple.

Thanks t0v3

Good Work! ??
