This isn't totally clear. If I remember correctly, you said you want to add navigation tabs to the theme, right?
If so, here's how:
1. Open the header.php file in your theme directory.
2. Starting around line 32 you'll see this:
<!--Main navigation menu--> <ul> <li><a rel="nofollow">href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>" title="Home">Home</a></li> <!-- Sample navigation menu <li><a rel="nofollow">href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/blog/" title="Blog">Blog</a></li> <li><a rel="nofollow">href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/?page_id=2" title="About <?php bloginfo('name'); ?>">About</a></li> <li><a rel="nofollow">href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/archives/" title="Visit the archives">Archives</a></li> <li><a>/feed/" title="RSS Feed">Feed</a></li> <li><a>/sitemap/" title="Sitemap">Sitemap</a></li> --> </ul>In the above code, the bottom 5 lines are sample navigation tabs that I've commented out. You can use those as examples, but basically...
If you want to add a tab to a page with page slug, "new-page," you'd need to add the following code:
<li><a <?php if(is_page('new-post')) echo 'class="current" ';?>href="<?php bloginfo('url');?>/new-page/" title="Visit my new page">Tab Text</a></li>Likewise, if you want to add a tab to a post with slug, "new-post," you'd need to add the following code:
<li><a <?php if(is_single('new-post')) echo 'class="current" ';?>href="<?php bloginfo('url');?>/new-post/" title="Read the new post">Tab Text</a></li>Notice the use of the is_page() function in the first example and the is_single() function in the second.
