I realize this is a few months old, but I thought this might be helpful for anyone else experiencing this problem.

My Settings

• My Events URL slug for The Events Calendar was set to calendar.
• I also had a WordPress Page titled “Calendar” with the slug calendar.
• I use WordPress’ default Menus manager to create and display my Primary Navigation. In my menu structure, I added the WordPress Page “Calendar.”

My Expectation

• When a user goes to The Events Calendar’s main page and event subpages, the “Calendar” link in the primary navigation highlights to signify active page/section.

The Problem

• The “Calendar” link never highlighted. WordPress failed to add an active class (.current_page_item) to the “Calendar” menu item when I was on The Event Calendar’s main page.
• This was true regardless of the theme I was using.

The Fix

• Delete the WordPress Page titled “Calendar” with the slug calendar.
• Delete the WordPress Page “Calendar” from the menu structure.
• Add a link with The Events Calendar’s main page URL (<home_url>/calendar in my case) to the menu structure.

From here, WordPress should start adding the active class to The Event Calendar’s main page and event subpages.

Ended up finding and installing the plugin — which solved whatever the issue was.
