Hi,

I am using the impulse theme and there is no option to change the color of an active menu link.

Need to enable this for both Header and Footer menus.

Can you guys help me do this please?

Thanks,

  1. Open Online Store > Themes > Actions > Edit code.
  2. Locate the main JavaScript file (often named theme.js, main.js, or similar). If unsure, you can also add this script in the theme.liquid file inside a tag:
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
    // Select all menu links
    const menuLinks = document.querySelectorAll(".site-nav__link");
    const currentPath = window.location.pathname;

    // Loop through each link and check if it matches the current URL
    menuLinks.forEach(link => {
        if (link.href.includes(currentPath)) {
            link.classList.add("active");
        }
    });
});
​
  • Add the following CSS to your theme’s main CSS file (e.g., theme.css, style.css, or custom.css):
/* Active menu link styling */
.site-nav__link.active {
    color: #FF5733 !important; /* Replace with your desired color */
    font-weight: bold; /* Optional: Make it bold */
    text-decoration: underline; /* Optional: Underline the link */
}

/* Optional: Active state for dropdown links */
.site-nav__dropdown .site-nav__link.active {
    background-color: #f0f0f0; /* Highlight dropdown active link */
}
