Answer 1

Remove this line e.preventDefault(); it stops

OR

$(document).ready(function () {
    $("ul.nav-menu li").click(function (e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        $("ul.nav-menu li").removeClass("current-menu-item"); //Remove the active class
        $(this).addClass("current-menu-item"); //Add the active tab to the selected tab
        window.location.href = $(this).attr('href')
    });
});

Add Active Navigation Class Based on URL

Example

HTML

    <ul>
        <li><a href="/">Home</a></li>
        <li><a href="/about/">About</a></li>
        <li><a href="/clients/">Clients</a></li>
        <li><a href="/contact/">Contact Us</a></li>
    </ul>

Script

$(function() {
  $('ul.nav-menu li a[href^="/' + location.pathname.split("/")[1] + '"]').prev().addClass('active');
});

Answer 2

Try this:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("ul.nav-menu li").click(function(e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        $(this).siblings('li').removeClass('current-menu-item');
        $(this).addClass('current-menu-item');
    }); 
});
