    Hi onurb

    Thanks for reaching out.

    Please remember that any changes made directly to template files like style.css will be lost during theme updates. If you’re interested, please see our Custom CSS tutorial here: https://siteorigin.com/basics/modifying-theme-design-with-custom-css/.

    The Customizer options for this are contained in Vantage Premium. If you’d like to check that offering out, please head to Appearance > Vantage Premium.

    If you’d like to try this using CSS, insert the following into a Custom CSS plugin like Simple Custom CSS or Jetpack Custom CSS:

    /* Vantage Current Menu Item Colors */

.main-navigation ul li.current-menu-item > a, .main-navigation ul li.current_page_item > a { background-color: #000000 }
.main-navigation ul li.current-menu-item > a, .main-navigation ul li.current-menu-item > a [class^="icon-"],
.main-navigation ul li.current_page_item > a, .main-navigation ul li.current_page_item > a [class^="icon-"] { color: #ffffff }

    And edit as required.

    Hi, I Work Here

    I tested this out now and it’s working well on my side.

    Do you have a custom menu saved to the theme’s primary menu location?

    To confirm, this CSS will highlight the page in the menu that’s currently being viewed by the user.
