In Web design, the navigation selections are commonly all the same color. However, some web design clients may request that specific navigation selections be a different color from the rest. In a static HTML web page, this is easy. But in a CMS web page this can be difficult, as cms website navigation is typically generated from a database, then formatted by a global template and stylesheet.

Wordpress will often generate unique class definitions and/or id’s from which you can style specific elements. View the page source and find the specific element you want to style uniquely. If Wordpress has generated a unique ID or CLASS definition, just add this definition to your style sheet with your desired unique web design stylings. Your navigation selection will reflect the unique style.

When you create a new web page in WordPress, the order for the new web page defaults to ‘0′, which positions the display of it’s navigation menu at the beginning of the stack. To change the web page order:

- Open the web page in the editor.

- On the right column there is a panel titled ‘Attributes’.

- This panel includes two menus: ‘Parent’ and ‘Order’.

- The ‘Parent’ menu allows you to make the web page a child of another web page.

- The ‘Order’ menu is where you specify the numeric web page order.

- Set this to whatever you want the respective web page’s order to be.

- For example if you have five parent web pages, set each web page’s ‘Order’ numerically from 1-5 respectively.

- When adding a new web page, set the new web page’s ‘Order’ to ‘6′ if you want the web page navigation menu to display after all the other web pages, and so forth.

- Another example would be that you want a new web page to display fourth in the middle of the current web pages. To accomplish this, set the new web page’s numeric order to 4, then open the web pages that were previously set as 4 and 5, and change them to 5 and 6 respectively.
