Hello again,
I'm hoping to achieve something that I didn't realize was not included as a feature in your demo. Almost everything else I want is though! I am using the template as a single page, parallax website (I am not linking to any other pages outside of privacy, copyright and terms of use; and to your own website of course!). Because all my menu items function as a 'Go To #x' link within the single page I am using, I am not getting any highlighted menu options (technically, they are all highlighted!). I'm hoping you might know of a workaround that will allow the menu to highlight the section of the site that the user is browsing that still allows each of the menu items to link to a certain
title/section/anchor. If you have any ideas, do let me know!
Best,

It was never designed for such action, so it just uses default wordpress highlighting of menu. Cause of that all anchors of current page will be highlighted.
Making this would require to write custom JavaScript that will handle all scrolling, what section is viewed and highlighting.
So for now I don't have any solution for you, however I will mark this topic, and think about it to see if I can think of something clever. Can you show me live link to your site? Maybe real example will help me in adding this feature.
With kind regards.
I have been working on the site pretty heavily since I posted this and while I haven't found a work around yet. I do have a question that might create a temporary solution. I know that in the theme layout options I can choose the color for "menu links hover/active hover". Is there a way to separate those two options? That'd be a great solution.Then at least my visitors would be given a visual queue as to where they navigated to. My site isn't active so I'd have to give you a WP login. What is your preferred method to do that?
Thanks!
I sent a payment for a coffee your way for all of the prompt effort you've put in so far! I'll have to get some donuts and lattes your way if we can get this issue fixed!
Best,
I just want you to be happy as our customer :-) So I understand you would like the hover to show them where they are hovering right now, right?
You could use such custom CSS Hope that helps.
With kind regards.
I think that the code you included looks like it will do what I need. I'll give it a try. Is there anywhere in particular that I should place this code?
Thanks.
With kind regards.
I am having trouble getting these changes to take place within my theme. I have tried placing the line of code within both the original .css file via FTP and within Wordpress. I have attached a screen shot of where I have done so in Wordpress. As a side note, I also disabled Jetpack (as you mentioned to do in my other thread) so that shouldn't be affecting anything at this point.
Thanks!
You have entered code in good place :-) However I would use rather Custom CSS filed :-)
Anyway you have set up same color for active and hover states :-) I didn't change this black values, as I didn't know what color scheme do you use.
If you like I can do it for you, but you have to send me temporary access(create new ADMIN account with fake e-mail) to your WP so I could check there what is going on? Send it here on forum via private message(click on my nick and there you will find option "Send Air a Message"). In message please attach link to topic it applies to.
With ind regards.
I'm not sure I completely understand what you mean when you say that you , 'would use rather Custom CSS filed'. Sorry! I'd be happy to make a temporary login for you and will do so now. Also, I changed the color values to black in for both the hover and selected items so that I could see if the changes were taking place at all. which, sadly, they weren't
I'll private message the information you need shortly.
Thanks!
It is related to the same site listed above.
Thanks!
So lets start.
Cache thing: On top of your site you have such button "Flush cache". This is probably GoDaddy addition. I don't know, I don't like them:-) Anyway you will have to use it to see changes that you make. Or deactivate it. Check screen shot.
Next, about CSS I gave you - I didn't know you use it for main links. I gave CSS for submenu. Here is proper CSS:
Custom CSS field - like explained in docs, but see screen shot :-)
I don't have any experience with this plugin, and don't know how it works. For changing fonts I would rather use build in options http://apollo13.eu/docs/blame/
If you want to discuss this further then please start new topic.
With kind regards.
I'll check on the new topic.
Best,
I gave wrong link in previous post. Here is link to Font options http://apollo13.eu/docs/blame/#!/typography_menu
With kind regards.
Anyway take this file from attached ZIP, unpack it, and upload it to wp-content/themes/blame/js
Remember to clear caches :-)
It should do dynamic marking in menu which anchor is currently visible on screen. I will help you if you face problems.
It works for me however :-)
With kind regards.
I just realized that you'd replied to this thread. And thanks for the new code. I did run into a problem when I tried to use it. My site will not load past the pre-loader. If you're wiling to give it a shot, that'd be great. The log in information that I sent you directly the last time we spoke should work just fine. That said, am I correct in thinking that this will allow the section of the site that is currently visible to have it's corresponding menu item highlighted even when I'm using a single page?
Thanks!
Since that time I have added this code, fixed one not buggy as this above, to newest update, so you should update Blame theme, and you will have this functionality right away :-)
With kind regards.
I have not made any of the updates because I am unfamiliar with exactly how working with a child theme works. My understanding is that when I make updates to the main theme, the modifications I have made to the child theme will be preserved. Is this correct? Accordingly, if I simply complete the update, it should have no negative effects on any custom CSS I have placed in the child theme, etc, correct?
Thanks!

Thanks.
With kind regards.
Please help!
And thanks!
Anyway could you please send me temporary access(create new ADMIN account with fake e-mail) to your WP an FTP so I could check there what is going on? Send it here on forum via private message(click on my nick and there you will find option "Send Air a Message"). In message please attach LINK(!!!) to topic it applies to.
