<!–texy–>ixy, thanks for leting me know the RAR might be sometimes a problem. I will make it ZIP next time.

<!–texy–>Thanks for sharing this tutorial.
I've been struggling for several hours with php, until I found this page, and it does exactly what I needed. :)
(I've used this not the plugin because the plugin was a RAR but I'm sure it is good, as well)

<!–texy–>katharina, could you try this plugin http://kahi.cz/wordpress/highlight-used-categories-plugin/? The manual modification described in this article is probably not necessary anymore.

<!–texy–>do you probably also know how I could put the "$active_class" into the li item instead of the a?
thanks a lot, kathrina

(btw, in wordpress 2.8.4 you have to wprk around line 1330 to put the $active_class into the <a> item)

<!–texy–>Kahi, this is probably the best looking wordpress design I've ever seen:) – this blog I mean, it's beautiful. I can't let it go…
I bow before thee…

<!–texy–>[11] Quite clever, thanks for the announcement.

<!–texy–>hi kahi, i made a little plugin to solve your problem. you can get it here:

http://www.screenshine.net/blog/1474_wordpress-plugin-show-active-category

the page is in german, but in the zip file you will find an english readme.txt

hope that helps. :)

<!–texy–>[9] …depends on the way you show the list of posts… if I understand your need correctly.

<!–texy–>THANKS thats great works well after some fiddling.

any idea how to make it work for liks to individual posts aswell??

<!–texy–>[4]: thanks, up-to-date again.
