Hi Juggledad,

I'm trying to highlight the active category and I'm using the horizontal category bar. So, I put this into the css inserts:

#menu2 ul.rMenu li a:active,  
#menu2 ul.rMenu li {
	background: #black !important;
	color: #fff !important;
}

But, it still isn't highlighting the active category. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi.

I'm working on a blog that is currently in maintenance mode, and I've been trying to highlight the active category in the category bar but it just doesn't seem to be working. I've tried adding this to css:

#menu2 ul.rMenu li a:link, 
#menu2 ul.rMenu li a:visited {
	background: #000 !important;
	color: #999 !important;
}

#menu2 ul.rMenu li a:hover, 
#menu2 ul.rMenu li a:active {
	background: #000 !important;
	color: #fff !important;
}

I am able to control the default, visited, and hover colors with the above code, but not the active color. I also tried this code:

li.current-cat {
color: #123456;
}

But that didn't work either. I'm wondering, if there is no way to highlight the active category, is there a way that I can just put the name of the category above the posts when you're in the category page? For instance, if I click on the category "News" can I place text above the posts within this category that says "You're viewing posts categorized as 'News'" ? I'd just like some way to distinguish the active category so that readers know where they are within the blog.

a post can be assigned to more than one category, so which would be the active one?

If you use teh category menu and select a category, the menu item should highlight, it has a class called 'current-cat' but if you are looking at posts, there is no 'active' category

in a fresh install of atahualpa, if you use the category menu bar and pick a category, that category in the category menu bar will be red (the rest are gray) this is set by the 'Background color: Hover'
