    Hi there,

    I have made a site with a horizontal main menu. My submenu pages are publishes in the left sidebar.

    How can I make the active in the main menu (e.g. Tuuf’s World) bold when I visit any of the subpages of this particular main menu item (e.g. Tuuf’s Never Out of Stock).

    You can see the site at http://eurokids.tichie.nl. Password = Koffie01.
    I hope anyone out there can help me with this.

    Kind regards,
    Janneke

    Hey tichie!

    When I viewed any of your Tuuf’s world sub pages the Tuff’s world link in your main menu is still highlighted so I’m not sure I understand. Can you take a screenshot and highlight what your trying to do?

    Hi Elliott,

    Yes, I managed to find the solution for this earlier. My question now is how I can make the letters of main menu link (that indeed is hightlighted) bold. when active.

    Kind regards,

    Hey!

    You can use this CSS.

    .current-menu-ancestor .avia-menu-text, .current-menu-item .avia-menu-text {
      font-weight: bold !important;
    }

    But I don’t think the font your using there has a bold version, https://www.google.com/fonts#UsePlace:use/Collection:Nixie+One.

    Best regards,
    Elliott

    Hi Elliot,

    Thank you for helping me out. Now a new question arises. Do you know which one of the 64 fonts Enfold default offers for the main navigation has a bold version in it. Or is there a way for me to find this out?

    Kind regards from Amsterdam,

    Hi!

    I am not 100% sure but all of them should have bold versions. Which one would you like to use? You can simply go to Enfold theme options > Advanced Styling and edit menu links and try font families

    Hi Yigit,

    Well, the one I used earlier, the Nixie One, is an Enfold default font for the main navigation, and the one I am using now, the JosefinSans, is another Enfold default main navigation font. Both fonts did not show up as bold when active using the above given css code.

    Kind regards,

    Hi!

    I believe you are not noticing because difference is not huge. Default font weight for main menu is 600 = bold. Please take a look at the screenshots to see the difference between normal weight and bold – http://imgur.com/a/kICac

    Cheers!

    Hi Yigit,

    Now I am confused. On my PC’s, tablets and browsers I never see the letter of the active change to bold, not even a little bit. I made a testpage at http://eurokids.tichie.nl/test/ where you see that there is no difference in boldness in active and passive mode, not even a little bit.

    Also I wonder: where has your line under the word ‘Weise’ in your active mode gone?

    Kind regards,
    Janneke

    Hi!

    Now i got it, you would like to display all menu items in normal weight and active one in bold. Please add following code to Quick CSS as well

    .av-main-nav > li > a { font-weight: normal; }

    Cheers!
