Thanks for your help, but found out it was another issue. I positioned the underline right above the border bottom line of the main menu. This worked perfekt except with the mega menu. The reason: there is an “overflow:hidden” style added to each mega menu items. Changed it to visible and now everything works like a charm.
Funny how some problems really seem to be a bigger issue… they cost you nerves and time … and finally you found out that you were looking at the very wrong place and the solution is so simple you could kick yourself in the ass :-D.
question #1: this plugin did the trick for me http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-upload-dir/
forget my last comment. .current_page_parent a { }
did the trick :)
I just realized that your solution for my 1st issue works perfectly with sites and portfolio items, but not with blog post. the blog menu item is not highlighted when viewing a blog post.
WOW – thanks for the fast reply! Works perfectly.
As for my 2nd question: any help would be appreciated :).
