Now an example body tag from a page on my site is: Here is what I am trying to do, that I can't figure out. I want to apply a different stylesheet to the 'featured-articles' category. Could you provide some example css or whatever is needed so that I can apply new styles to just that category? I'm trying to do things like change the page background image, change the font link colors etc.. pretty basic. I don't know what you think about it, but I think it would be a great 'extension article' to this one. Like, now you have body class..... here is how to use it, a newbie guide. thanks I added your function to my theme functions file and changed the body link as instructed.

So, all children and grandchildren of /top-page/ would get the "top-page" body class. I created this function in functions.php. It grabs the slug of the top most ancestor: <code>function my_get_top_ancestor() {</code>        <code>global $post;</code>        <code>if ($post->post_parent) {</code>               <code>$ancestors=get_post_ancestors($post->ID);</code>               <code>$root=count($ancestors)-1;</code>               <code>$parent = $ancestors[$root];</code>        <code>} else {</code>               <code>$parent = $post->ID;</code>        <code>}</code>        <code>$parentpost = get_post($parent);</code>        <code>$parentslug = $parentpost->post_name;</code>        <code>return $parentslug;</code> <code>}</code> Then in the tag, I have <code><body <?php body_class(my_get_top_ancestor()); ?>></code> I had a need to assign a body class to all pages, based on their top-most parent page.

I created this function in functions.php. It grabs the slug of the top most ancestor:

function my_get_top_ancestor() {

       global $post;

       if ($post->post_parent) {
              $ancestors=get_post_ancestors($post->ID);
              $root=count($ancestors)-1;
              $parent = $ancestors[$root];

       } else {
              $parent = $post->ID;
       }

       $parentpost = get_post($parent);
       $parentslug = $parentpost->post_name;

       return $parentslug;

}

Then in the tag, I have

<body <?php body_class(my_get_top_ancestor()); ?>>

I have uploaded the new version and updated the post accordingly. Later this week I will see about making it easier to add/remove classes and the matched strings. Thanks for the help! Awesome.

PHP is not my first language, so admittedly there are probably better ways of writing this code. I was actually hoping that some PHP wizards would help to improve the function.

Much better. And preg_match() isn't neccessary here, strpos() works faster. Isn't that right? There is body_class hook (filter). Much better.
