submenu – how to keep the parent highlighted?

[Thomas Pientka]

hey bill,

right now the menu highlighting works for the current items.
when you look at a page from a submenu you have one problem, the submenu is visible when hovering over the parent – nothing is highlighted it the parent menu anymore.

is there a way to change it, so that the parent menu is always highlighten?

Good Morning Thomas,

You’re welcome to add different styling there. WordPress adds the current-menu-parent class to the li in your menu that you can use a styling hook like this:

li.current-menu-parent {
	color: #fff;
	background-color: #000;
}

Just change the color to your preferred text color and the background-color to what you’d like the background to be like.

Take care,
Bill
