Color on active menu links (under the header)

hi

Find the following code in “wpdefault.css” file

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: #FFFFFF;
}

and replace it with this code

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: #000000;
}

@rajan, That’ll cause headache later on when the theme updates and the original poster’s changes are erased.

Let’s avoid that headache and instead recommend people to use a Custom CSS plugin or a Child Theme style.css file to hold those CSS modifications; creating new styles that override existing ones.

Thanks Rajan Faldu and Andrew for replying!

Well, I can’t find the wpdefault.css file anywhere in the parent theme, only the style.css and rtl.css. Yes I am using a child theme.
Putting the replace code (mentioned above) into the child style.css does not change anything.

Update: Active menulinks are now red – will post back soon.
