   Hey there,

   In my sidebar I have a list of posts from my archive. The list remains in the sidebar in the single view. I'd like to highlight the post that is currently shown in my sidebar menu.

   I would prefer to do this with CSS. Now how can I assign something like a "current" class/id to the active post list tiem. The output should look something like this:

   <ul>
   <li>post 1</li>
   <li>post 2</li>
   <li id="current_post">post 3</li>
   <li> post 4</li>
   </ul>

   When post 3 is currently shown in the single view.

   Thanks in advance,

   Lasse

   same here... no information found. This simple thing seems impossible to do with posts.

   I had the same problem and found a solution using JavaScript and jQuery. Here's a write-up of how it was done:
