    **Conditional Navigation Highlighting Problems** [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/162320?replies=2](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/162320?replies=2)
 * **Style current Page differently for wp_list_pages?**
    [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/158749?replies=3](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/158749?replies=3)
 * Along with this codex page:
    **Dynamic menu highlighting** [http://codex.wordpress.org/Dynamic_Menu_Highlighting](http://codex.wordpress.org/Dynamic_Menu_Highlighting)
 * I was able to edit some code to create my blog’s navigation with unique _css 
   id’s_ for each list item and have the _css id_ change when you were on the corresponding
   page. I’m posting the code here in case it is useful to someone else:
 *     ```
       <ul id="nav">
       <li <?php if (is_home()) { echo "id=\"uhome\""; ?>><a href="<?php bloginfo('url') ?>/">home</a>
       <?php } else { echo "id=\"home\">";?><a href="<?php bloginfo('url') ?>/">home</a><?php }?></li>
   
       <li <?php if (is_page('archives') || is_single()) { echo "id=\"uarch\""; ?>>
       <a href="<?php bloginfo('url') ?>/archive">archives</a>
       <?php } else { echo "id=\"archive\">";?><a href="<?php bloginfo('url') ?>/archive">archives</a><?php } ?></li>
   
       <li <?php if (is_page('colophon')) { echo "id=\"uabt\""; ?>>
       <a href="<?php bloginfo('url') ?>/colophon">colophon</a>
       <?php } else { echo "id=\"about\">";  ?><a href="<?php bloginfo('url') ?>/colophon">colophon</a><?php } ?></li>
   
       <li <?php if (is_page('contact')) { echo "id=\"ucont\""; ?>>
       <a href="<?php bloginfo('url') ?>/contact">contact me</a>
       <?php } else { echo "id=\"contact\">";?><a href="<?php bloginfo('url') ?>/contact">contact me</a><?php } ?></li>
       </ul>
       ```
   
 * I hope it helps someone in some way. 🙂
