try this function in your functions.php file and then add the name of your CPT to the title tag of the menu item in your menu. So web CPT title = web.

// setup proper class for custom post type menu items based on the menus title tag
function current_type_nav_class($classes, $item) {
	$post_type = get_query_var('post_type');
	if ($item->attr_title != '' && $item->attr_title == $post_type) {
		array_push($classes, 'current-menu-item');
	};
	return $classes;
}
add_filter('nav_menu_css_class', 'current_type_nav_class', 10, 2 );

Then use the css class of current-menu-item to highlight it correctly.

I’m experiencing the same issue, can’t add Post Tags either.

I think you’re on to something here, i’m experiencing the same thing. is_page or is_home is completely ignored as is query_posts when they are both used on a page.

I’ve had the same issues as most here, here is what i found on:

Try adding the following line at the top (the very first line) of .htaccess :
Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch

It seemed to work for me.

moshu, the new source file worked, thank you for the suggestion!

which nightly do you have? i got 1/15/05?

Thanks for your help Beel. It is rather strange i think. good to know Kyte that i’m not the only one who’s having this problem though. it is kinda weird. I originally had it with my own theme then i just modified the existing default theme not thinking it would do this as well.

well here is a screengrab i took WordPress Tiff this might be able to help you see what i’m looking at. I’m using Safari on Mac OS X, it looks the same way in Mozilla too though. Any further thoughts?
