Hey Ciarán,

hope everything is fine with you in this difficult time ?!
Unfortunately, I have to torment you with a question :)
Is there a css code to highlight a menu item?

for example in your menu
Home – black
Browse Templates – black
Browse Extensions – black
Template Demos – black
Membership – black
Forum – red
Tutorials – black

Or somehow different. I just want to highlight one menu item.
I am currently using the Everly template but would be nice if the code would work on all templates.

Stay healthy,
Chris

Hi Chris

Sure. Each menu item can be targeted with CSS via the menu item ID. Would you have a URL to an example of your menu?

Hey Ciarán,

Is meant on the following page: optimalpraesent.at

Do you mean --> Link Type --> Link Class?
But what code do I enter if I want a different color? I tried a few, but none worked :(

Kindly,
Chris

Hi Chris

To amend try adding the following to the Custom CSS field of your templates parameters (Extensions -> Templates -> [YourTemplateStyle] -> Custom CSS) where 138 is the ID number of your menu item (edit to taste)....

.hornav .item-138 > a {

    color: #e62c2c;

}

Hey Ciaran,

The code no longer works with joomla 4.2.2, right?

Hi Chris

A possible cause is that the menu item ID (138) has changed with your update?

Hey Ciaran,

unfortunately no. The id is correct.

You can find the access data in my site details if you want to check it out.

Thank you Chris

Looking at your menu manager for your 'Main Menu', I am unable to see any menu item with the ID of 138 (right column). Maybe I am looking at the wrong menu?

Hey Ciaran,

The ID '138' was just one example of yours. I don't think I ever had an ID with that number :D

Just try one of the IDs from the 'Main Menu' (101, 110, 194 or 111). It doesn't work with any of the numbers, but I don't know why :(

Kindly,
Chris

Hi Chris

As some of your parent links are not links try the following instead which includes spans (spans) try...

(edit to taste)

.hornav .item-200 > span, 

.hornav > .item-200 a {

    color: red !important;

}

Hey Ciaran,

Unfortunately the code doesn't work, but to my shame I found another code that makes it work now. Please don't kill me because of this :p
