Active Menu Item Colors

    Hello —

    Great plugin… Everything is working fine, but I haven’t been able to find a way to have an Active Menu Item in Dropdown Menu Widget’s menus be a different color (background -or- text), like what occurs in all my site’s main navigation menus. I’ve changed the options for Custom Colors (hover, mouse over, etc.)… and have tried changing a variety of items in my theme’s stylesheet – but nothing has worked there that affects the Dropdown Menus.

    Appreciate any help…

    Thanks!

    Hello – I’m not sure if this is the issue you were having, but inserting the following code into the Custom CSS box in the Advanced tab for the widget settings worked for us:

    li.current_page_item ul a, li.current_page_item ul a:visited, li.current_page_item ul a:link {
  color: #79ff99;
}

    This fixed our problem, which was when a menu item was active, the dropdown menu item was black – which made it impossible to read. Adding the code above fixed it for us. I hope that helps!

    Appreciate your reply to my post, although I tried the Custom CSS you’ve suggested without affect.

    I have a variety of Dropdown Menus Widgets used in sidebars with top-level items only (no sub menus). What would be ideal is for the “Link Text Color on mouse over” to simply stay “ON” when that is the active link (page being visited). I really don’t need the background of the menu item to change… just the link color to remain highlighted – to indicate that is where they are.

    Any additional suggestions?…

    Thanks!
