Highlight the current category of wordpress

Most wordpress readers like to know where they are on a website.

To help them knowing what they’re exactly browsing right now, you should definitely highlight the current category. It is very easy to do.

When you’re browsing a category, WordPress automatically add a current-cat css class to the <li> element.

So the only thing you have to do is to edit your style.css file and add a style for the current-cat class:

#nav .current-cat{
background:#999;
color:#222;
text-decoration:underline;
}

Now your wordpress readers will know exactly what they’re browsing right now.
