@Simon: I think Abba & Simon mean that it should not be a link when it is the current page; something I actually agree with.

@Simon: Thanks, should be fixed now.

@Abba & Simon: How come? Why shouldn’t there be a link on the ‘home’ text?

the 2 blocks in [?php .. ?] tags are each 1 line. And all tags above are changed to square brackets for anyone who cares.

I would prefer myself ( keeping the above comment in mind also )
[ul]
[?php echo ( is_home( ) ) ? "[li class='current_page_item' ]Home[/li ]” : “[li][a href='{get_option(home)}']Home[/a][/li]“; ?]
[?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?]
[/ul]

I hope this comes through alright. If it doesn’t, this is a perfect case for a ternary and the poster above is right, the home page should NOT have a link to the home page. A text representation is better in this case than a link.

I think there’s a slight typo in your code. The Span tag is breaking inside the li tag. I think you need to close the li tag before starting the span tag. Of course, you could get rid of the span tag completely, it doesn’t seem to be doing anything.

Also, from a usability point of view, it’s always wise to not link to the page the user is currently on.

How about just using:

[code][/code]

That works just the same!!! No reason to have all that code above! WP adds the current page item by default. x
