[Plugin: Dropdown Menu Widget] Changing the color of the link of the parent page you are in

Looking for the same solution, too. How to add something like .current if we are a specific page/posts!

I found it!
just use the li.current-menu-item that’s it!

That’s not working for me…am I missing something?

That option changes on every menu type.
Because I am not generating menus, wordpress does.

It is generally for pages menu: li.current_page_item
for categories menu: li.current-cat
for custom menus: li.current-menu-item

I am using this code to change link colors on Web2.0 theme:

/** Current menu item */
li.current-cat>a, li.current_page_item>a, li.current-menu-item>a,
li.current-cat>a:link, li.current_page_item>a:link, li.current-menu-item>a:link,
li.current-cat>a:visited, li.current_page_item>a:visited, li.current-menu-item>a:visited{ color: #444; font-weight: normal; }

/** Ancestor */
li.current_page_ancestor>a,li.current_page_ancestor>a:visited, li.current_page_ancestor>a:link { color: #444; font-weight: normal; }
li.current-menu-ancestor>a,li.current-menu-ancestor>a:visited, li.current-menu-ancestor>a:link { color: #444; font-weight: normal; }
