Menu Point Active Font in Italic

[wp_LayNerd]

Hi there,
I would like to make active menu points switch to italic (font family Robotic) , but you can only chose fontsize and boldness in the customizer...
Does anyone have an idea for a workaround in CSS?

Thanks a lot!

Dear @wp_LayNerd
you can select the active menu point with CSS and give it a CSS style italic.

Best!

@mariusjopen would be great to know how tho? Because as far as I could inspect the lay theme menu works a little on its own? At least when I inspect I can only identify it as "span"

And with that the site title always also reacts, so it responds to the css styles as well, which looks cheap.

I also tried this:

nav.primary a:visited {

But it did not work either. As well as .active

Best,
Tim

Dear Tim

@Tim-B

The active menu point will have a class added to it called current-menu-item :

You can take advantage of this to target it with CSS and set it italic for example:

.current-menu-item {
    font-style: italic !important;
}
