Highlight current page wordpress nav bar menu.
Highlight current page wordpress navigation is made for the purpose, that people who visit our blogs notice the different colors of the navigation tab, so it is easier to spot which page they are currently viewing.
Some wordpress bloggers even give a fix different menu background color for a specific page. You can see my “free services” menu tab in this blog, which is always highlighted with black background.
The reason is simply to catch visitor’s attention, that in that page, contains something different and special content compared with the post or pages in the whole blog.
Basically, if you highlight current page wordpress, you give your site ability to be more user friendly because it is offering them to see a highlighted menu tab if they select a specific or particular page.
Highlight current page wordpress, editing files.
When you want to highlight current page in wordpress, you need to know a little bit of programming language, which are mostly html, php and css. (see more in wordpress editing css file tutorial post).
You can also edit the php files, which to me, is more complicated than editing css file.
To modify the stylesheet file is the easiest way and more fast solution if you need to highlight current page wordpress, especially if you work with default theme.
If you use another theme, it is also not hard since wordpress 2.9+ supports classes to highlight current page wordpress. ( i used wordpress for the first time with wordpress 2.9.2, so i am not familiar with the older version).
In wordpress older version, as far as i know, you need to edit the php files of your theme to achive highlighted tab of your blog, but then the newer wordpress version allows us to specify the id and classes in css file to highlight current page wordpress.
