Hi
I am tying to highlight a menu item on my wordpress website when single posts are viewed.
All of my blog posts are displayed on my static 'Blog' page.
How can I highlight the 'blog' link when viewing a post page?
Does anyone know of any functions that I can use that: when visiting a certain page highlight a certain menu item?
My nav is called in the header.php file:
<nav>
<?php wp_nav_menu( $args ); ?>
</nav>and my css is:
header ul li a
{
border-radius: 4px;
background-color: transparent;
border: 1px solid transparent;
color: #939393;
margin: 0px;
border-image: initial;
padding-left: 5px;
padding-right: 5px;
padding-top: 3px;
padding-bottom: 3px;
font-size: 18px;
text-decoration: none;
}
header ul li.current-menu-item a,
header ul li a:hover
{
-moz-border-radius: 4px;
-webkit-border-radius: 4px;
-o-border-radius: 4px;
-ms-border-radius: 4px;
-khtml-border-radius: 4px;
border-radius: 4px;
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.042);
border: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15);
margin: 0;
border-image: initial;
padding-left: 5px;
padding-right: 5px;
padding-top: 3px;
padding-bottom: 3px;
color: #939393;
}
header ul li.selected {
-moz-border-radius: 4px;
-webkit-border-radius: 4px;
-o-border-radius: 4px;
-ms-border-radius: 4px;
-khtml-border-radius: 4px;
border-radius: 4px;
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.042);
border: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15);
margin-top: -3px;
border-image: initial;
padding-left: 0px;
padding-right: 0px;
padding-top: 3px;
padding-bottom: 3px;
color: #939393;
}The HTML generated is:
<nav>
<div class="menu-main-navigation-container"><ul id="menu-main-navigation" class="menu"><li id="menu-item-42" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-42"><a href="http://localhost:8888/paulkenyon/home/">Home</a></li>
<li id="menu-item-41" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-41"><a href="http://localhost:8888/paulkenyon/about/">About</a></li>
<li id="menu-item-45" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-45"><a href="http://localhost:8888/paulkenyon/skills/">Skills</a></li>
<li id="menu-item-56" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-56"><a href="http://localhost:8888/paulkenyon/portfolio/">Portfolio</a></li>
<li id="menu-item-49" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-49"><a href="http://localhost:8888/paulkenyon/contact/">Contact</a></li>
<li id="menu-item-52" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page current-menu-item page_item page-item-50 current_page_item menu-item-52"><a href="http://localhost:8888/paulkenyon/blog/">Blog</a></li>
</ul></div>
