 * Hello,
 * The code I have below displays the last 20 posts made. I was wondering if its
   possible to isolate a specific post with a conditional to NOT have a link and
   only display the title.
 * `<?php
    $lastposts = get_posts('numberposts=20'); foreach($lastposts as $post):
   setup_postdata($post); ?> <li> <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" id="post-<?
   php the_ID(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a> </li> <?php endforeach; ?>
 * ex. say i have 3 links
    link1 link2 link3 <- not clickable
 * Say im on the link3 post. Id want link1 and link2 to have the permalinks, but
   i dont want link 3 to be clickable.
 * Any help would be appreciated.

 * Out of curiosity – why would you want to do this? There may be a better solution
   for whatever it is you’re trying to do.

 * Well I have links on the sidebar that are links to posts. The posts are assigned
   a class based on which page they are on. Like if your on page 3, the link for
   page 3 has a white bg applied to it.
 * If theres another way to make accomplish this, let me know.

 * [Sure there is.](http://codex.wordpress.org/Dynamic_Menu_Highlighting) There’s
   a “Fold Page List” plugin that you can customize to use as well.
