 * The active home page of my site: [http://www.mpfsl.co.uk](http://www.mpfsl.co.uk)
   is highlighting the blog page on the footer navigation. This worked when first
   launched but is displaying incorrectly in the footer only. All other pages are
   correct. I’ve looked through the settings and all seems in order. Has anyone 
   else had the same problem.

 * try:
    – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If 
   this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic
   plugin(s). – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems?

 * Thanks for your response. I’ve deactivated all plugins and no change. Switched
   to default theme (Twenty Ten) which does not use the current_page_item. I guess
   there is an issue with my custom theme for the foot list.

 * I added the reset to the footer:
 * ‘<ul class=”footer_menu”>
    <?php wp_reset_query(); ?> <?php wp_list_pages(‘title_li
   =&depth=1’ );?> ‘
 * this seems to have resolved the problem. **Many thanks for your help**.
