Sub menu highlighting

(@gagan0123)

Wolbee

Can you try this code?

nav ul li.current-menu-item>a:link,
nav ul li.current-menu-item>a:visited,
nav ul li.current-page-ancestor>a:link,
nav ul li.current-page-ancestor>a:visited {
  background-color: #006ec3;
  color: #FFF;
}

and do let me know if it works.

Nope, that didn’t work…

I’ll need to see the HTML markup of that menu before making any other changes to what I’ve wrote, can you please provide that?

It’s the About Us menu here (fair warning: it doesn’t look great – it’s a test site)

To be honest, seeing as the menu on the right (that I created myself) is working how I want it, I might just rip out the WP-made one and do it myself…

Which page do we have to go on to see the issue?

Any of the About Us child pages

I went to one of the child pages just now and I’m not sure I see the issue. Here’s what I see: http://snag.gy/lgs0c.jpg – What do you mean by the whole menu is highlighted?

Sorry, I forgot about that menu… you need to hover your mouse over the About Us in the top nav menu…

If you check your site with a web developer tool like Firebug, you can see the styles that are applying.
E.g. this is applying the blue background:

.site-header nav ul li.current-menu-item a:link,
.site-header nav ul li.current-page-ancestor a:link {
    background-color: #006EC3;
}

Okay, let’s start with the basic selector first before you try to do 4 at once. Can you remove the 4 for now?

I think I’m just going to create my own menu like I did on the right hand side… Thanks for trying to help though =)

Sorry for only posting half the code – you can probably tell I’m new to this =) but seriously…? All I needed were a few “>” symbols? What does that even do?

Also, do you know where I need to add a text-align: center; to align the widget in the cart drop down?

Thanks so much =)
