active menu color

[detoner]

Hi
Hope you can help - keep trying different ways but cannot get it to respond
We want to have a different color for the side menu item which is currently active.

This is what we have tried in custom includes as the current template options don't allow for different active menu color
.suf-flat-widget li a.dcjq-parent.active {
color:#000000;
}

Thanks in advance

Try this

Code: Select all

#sidebar a:active{color:#000000;}

Actually the theme offer the possibility to specify a color for active menu - see Suffusion Options -> Skinning -> Navigation Bar Above (or Below) Header -> Navigation Menu Items: Highlighted.

But, you don't have there a menu, a navigation bar - you have a widget with a custom menu. As widget it take the styles from sidebars, not from navigation bars. For styling your links try to increase specificity (now your definition is applied, but the visited state of sidebars links came after that and overwrite your styles). Try this at Custom Styles:
#dc_jqaccordion_widget-5 a.dcjq-parent.active {color:#000;}
