menu bar

My client would like to have the menu bar remain lit (light color or different color) to show which page they are on. Can I do this and how do I accomplish this? thanks in advance

Hello,

This is a customization you’d need to make to the theme. You can find all kinds of CSS classes that WordPress puts in when outputting your menu on the various list items that make up your menu.

For CSS changes, it’s a good idea to use a tool like firebug or Google Chrome’s built-in developer tools to locate them and then put the edits either in your child theme or in the “Custom CSS” option on your theme options page.

Example:

#access li.current-menu-item a { ... }

Also, here’s a helpful tutorial on how to use Firebug – http://vimeo.com/20917974. The only thing I’d suggest not doing is actually making edits to the theme’s CSS files, as it shows at the end of that video. However, the video serves as a good introduction to Firebug and how it can be used to find what CSS is effecting certain areas of your site without ever digging around in any files.
