 * I cannot get the active page link to be highlighted. It’s stuck on home.
 * This is the code I am using in my header.php
 *     ```
       <div id="menu">
       		<ul>
       			<li class="page_item active<?php if (is_home()) echo ' 
   
       current_page_item'; ?>"><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/">Home</a></li>
       			<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=' ); ?>
       		</ul>
       ```
   
 * I have page_item active set as
 *     ```
       #menu li .page item active a {
       	background: #07B6FE;
       	color: #FFFFFF;
       }
       ```
   
 * Can someone explain what I am doing wrong?

 * your css is somehow faulty – corrected below:
 *     ```
       #menu li .page_item.active a {
       	background: #07B6FE;
       	color: #FFFFFF;
       }
       ```
   
 * you could try styling the .current_page_item class
 *     ```
       #menu li .page_item.current_page_item a {
       	background: #07B6FE;
       	color: #FFFFFF;
       }
       ```
