Answer 1

Check out the CSS selectors :active , :hover , :link , and :visited .

• :active select and style the active link
• :hover selects and styles a link with the user hovers over it
• :link selects and styles a link that hasn't been visited
• :visited selects and styles a link that has been visited

A :hover selector must cover after a :link and :visited selector. Also, an :active selector must come after a :hover selector.

You would use these like this:

a:link {
    color: red;
}

a:visited {
    color: green;
}

a:hover {
    color: blue;
}

a:active {
    color: yellow;
}

I'm not sure how it's done in Wordpress, but generally speaking this is how you could do it when you have to work with php includes:

for every page you define a variable containing the page name, for example, in the about page you define something like

<?php $page = "about"; ?>

and in the Home page you'd have

<?php $page = "home"; ?>

Then inside the navigation you'd check what the $page value is and echo a "active" class name for the link. I hope this explains it:

<li><a href="home.php" class="<?php $page == "home" ? "active" : "" ?>">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="about.php" class="<?php $page == "about" ? "active" : "" ?>">About</a></li>

What this does is: it checks the value of the $page variable declared in the page and adds a "active" class to the anchor tag if the value matches, otherwise it leaves the class name blank.

And then in your CSS you'd have the styles for the class .active like for example:

.active{ color: green; }

The point is that you need to make sure that the "current" page's anchor has a class (usually an "active" or "current" class, but you can name it anything you want), and then using php you check the name of the page as I mentioned above and then add that class name to the anchor (or list item, whatever works for you).

I'm not sure how you'd go about that in Wordpress, but maybe you could use the above technique and customize it somehow to fit your needs. (like if it's a custom widget you made you could use that)

Hope that helped.
