    Hi all, I am from Croatia and this is very helpful site...

    I stucked in creating navigation in Wordpress... I need to act like CMS navigation so this is the problem

    I have 6 items in navigation HOME CATEGORY CATEGORY.... CONTACT

    My HOME page has its own template home-template.php and CONTACT contact-template.php, And all Category links in navigation is acting like a blog with every CATEGORY -> SUBCATEGORY

    How I write code in 
    <ul class=\"navigation\">...</ul>
    ???

    You could do something like:

    <ul id=\"navigation\">
        <li><a href=\"hardcodethislink\">Home</a></li>
        <?php wp_list_categories('title_li='); ?> /* title_li makes sure the the 'Category' title doesn't show up */
        <li><a href=\"hardcodethislink\">Contact</a></li>
    </ul>


    That may not work exactly, but should get you started.

    ok, no problem... i am new to wordpress and possible this is not the perfect solution.... HOME and CONTACT page have its own template page... categories in navigation is wp_list_categories();....

    so its look like you wrote it... I am absolute new to wordpress... but this can work..

    Highlight current nav item can be done by this (this is example) is(home) or is(contact)

    i am not sure how to highlight current category item or page item, posible there is a php function and css for that... when I get that all to work i will wrote it here..

    If someone know that possible quick answer that please wrote it :)
