This article was very helpful for me: https://www.darrenhoyt.com/2008/02/12/creating-two-tiered-conditional-navigation-in-wordpress/

I think it solved my problem.

Kcomphlint,

I would like to know how to do this as well, but right now I’m willing to settle for the messier version.

I have a horizontal navigation list like this:

<div id="menu">
		<ul id="navlist">
<li<?php if (is_home()) { echo " class=\"current\""; }?>><a href="<?php bloginfo('url') ?>">Home</a> |  </li>
<li<?php if (is_page('5')) { echo " class=\"current\""; }?>><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/about">About</a> | </li></ul></div>

And a sidebar menu that lists children of a page:

<div id="navibar">
	<div class="links">
		<ul>
<li>
<?php
  if($post->post_parent)
  $children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0");
  else
  $children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");
  if ($children) { ?>
  <ul>
  <?php echo $children; ?>
  </ul>
  <?php } ?>
</li></ul></div></div>

I want the top-level parent highlighted when I’m on a child page.

Would your messy php code work with this?

Thanks.
