I’m trying to create a hover-effect on a list-item within the wp_list_pages()
function. I’m creating a theme for WordPress, but can’t seem to get the hover effect working. I’m pretty new at this, so bear with me.
My css looks like this:
a.nav:hover { color: yellow; }
So for my html-code I add the “nav”-class to my links, like this:
<ul class="nav"> <li><a class="nav" href="#">HOME</a></li> </ul>
This works, it changes the color of the link to yellow. So far so good. But when I try to change this html-code to php-code the class isn’t there.
I use the wp_list_pages()
function, like this:
<ul class="nav"> <?PHP wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=1&sort_column=menu_order&exclude='); ?> </ul>
And the outcome then is:
<ul class="nav"> <li class="page_item page-item-23"><a href="http://example.com/blog/page_id=23">HOME</a></li></ul>
So my question is, how to I add the nav
class to this link? Is there an attribute within the function or something? Again, I’m really new to this

Answer
from the wordpress docs for wp_list_pages()
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_list_pages#Markup_and_styling_of_page_items :
ll list items (li) generated by wp_list_pages() are marked with the class page_item. When wp_list_pages() is called while displaying a Page, the list item for that Page is given the additional class current_page_item.
with that, the easiest thing you can do is to just change your hover code to:
li.page_item:hover { color: yellow; }
