    How do I make the sidebar highlight if that page is active: http://www.jeanettekwok.com/briscoe/john-briscoe/

    John Briscoe should be highlighted but it isn’t and I have the following in style.css

    .sidebar-item .current_page_item li a,
    .sidebar-item .current_page_parent a,
    .sidebar-item a:hover, .sidebar-item a:active {font-weight: bold; color:#990000;}

    Please advise. Thanks!
    Jeanette

    This is wrong:

    .sidebar-item .current_page_item li a,

    The LI has the menu/page classes assigned. Try this instead:

    .sidebar-item li.current_page_item a,

    Thanks but that did not work. Please refresh to see that the active page in the sidebar is still not highlighted.

    Your style.css is still using the original CSS declaration, rather than the modification I suggested. Did you upload the modification? Do you have caching enabled?
