Dynamic menu highlighting, wp_list_pages and sub-pages

Shouldn’t you just be able to un-highlight the child list items via CSS?

e.g., assuming that ‘.current’ is being used to indicate highlighting:

.current {
font-weight: bold;
color: black;
text-decoration: underline;
background: white;
}

.current ul {
font-weight: normal;
color: #333;
text-decoration: none;
background: #ccc;
}

…or something similar.

If that doesn’t sound right, give me a URI, and I might have another idea ??

Can you not override the children styling with CSS? Do you have this in action?
Yeah, what that guy ^^ said.

I’m having the same problem as Moshu.

When a Page is selected, all it’s child pages are styled the same as the Page. I guess they are inheriting the current_page_item class from the li of the parent page.

You can see it here: https://www.kenthealth.com
Pages are in the sidebar under the heading ‘Look Around’.

Here’s the CSS I’m using, per the suggestion of jcdesign and alphaoide, but it doesn’t work:

.current_page_item a,
.current_page_item a:visited,
.current_page_item a:hover {
color: #f00;
font-weight: bold;
}

.current_page_item ul {
color: #000;
font-weight: normal;
}

Any suggestions? Thanks a lot.
