Wow, your awesome! Your function works great. Just tested it out. Sticky post stays on top and all other posts paginate to one each page correctly.

I cannot thank you enough! Hopefully your code can help others as well as me. I know the previous function for just limiting to one post has helped several others already!

Thanks again!

Thanks! That worked great, I downgraded back to 3.3.2, so I need to upgrade again and confirm. Looks promising though!

Edit: Works well in 3.4. Thanks again!

Got it. For a fallback class (in a way) you can use Conditional tags e.g.

<li <?php if (is_home() || is_search()){echo 'class="current_page_item"';}?>><a>/">Home</a>

This means if a page that doesn’t have a link on the nav, the home tab can be given the active state. In the above example, this includes the search page. You can use as many as required.

I managed to find a solution to my situation.

Basically I’ve learnt the WordPress Menu Feature with wp_nav_menu() is limited in respect to what I was after. Instead what can be done if you write the general nav structure manually and use wp_list_categories() and wp_list_pages() to display the required pages and categories on the nav.

I came across this great post which details how to do it:

On its own this method works well for pages. However for posts themselves to have its parent category active on the menu you need a plugin and need to modify it slightly. Again this is all detailed in the link above, but it works well.
