on Canvas theme, multiple nav items highlighted when Events page is displayed

[actualcafe]

Moving this from an earlier thread to split up multiple issues.

My complaint:
When on /events, both the ‘events’ and ‘blog’ menu items in my top nav are highlighted. I fixed this problem once, but it’s back, and I don’t remember what I did to fix it the first time.

tri.be response:
We hope to fix this in an upcoming maintenance release – in the interim a CSS fix can be used that stops parent menu items from being highlighted. Do let us know if you want help with that (ideally by creating a separate thread, as we try to stick to one-issue-per-thread) but we appreciate that isn’t always going to be an acceptable solution.

continued:
OK, I have no idea what CSS will affect this. Need more please.

thanks

Hi Sal,

Thanks for taking the time to break this down into separate issues. So the CSS you could try here is:

.events-archive #navigation ul.nav li.current_page_parent a {
background: inherit;
color: inherit;
}

If your theme makes available a location for adding custom CSS you could try adding this there, or else you could place it in a custom tribe-events.css stylesheet.

Does that help?

Barry:

I added the code above. No change to behavior. (both ‘events’ and ‘blog’ are highlighted when /events is rendered).

Looks fine to me – have you tried clearing your browser cache?

Barry:

Woo sent me a different .css snippet that fixed the problem (I don’t love it because it’s hard-coded to the menu item in question), but it works:
.events-archive #menu-item-1487 a {background: none !important; color: #666 !important;}
