 * I have an annoying problem with a theme I set up for someone. When viewing blog
   or portfolio posts from the portfolio or blog page the active page button highlight
   switches from the relevant blog or portfolio page, to highlight the homepage 
   button. It then looks as if you are on the ‘Home Page’
 * The same happens when viewing posts from the home page media box. The post is
   displayed but the ‘Home’ button remains highlighted.
 * Have tried and tried to solve this issue without any success.

 * Anybody any idea where I may find a solution?

 * Generally speaking you can modify those link by customizing your navigation menu.

 * Where did you get that theme? The theme author may be able to assist you if that
   does not work.

 * Thanks for all the reply’s.
 * We are using this class `current_page_item` but it is somehow being applied to
   the ‘Home’ nav button when-ever a post is viewed.
 * Was hoping not to have use JS fix (though I suspect that its a JS somewhere that
   maybe coursing this).
 * Thanks all anyway.
