Highligt category on blog page

Site URL: https://flute-dodecahedron-78hj.squarespace.com/blog-2

I use an archive block on my blog page to filter content. I would like to highlight the selected category by making the font bold when active. Does anybody know if that's possible?

best Christine

I do the same with my blog. Post in custom CSS and you can change the color:

.archive-group-name-link:visited {color:red !important;}

Thank you so much, that worked perfectly.

Is there any way to only highlight categories when selected like in the navigation bar? Tried typing in active instead of visited but it didn't work.

Add to Design > Custom CSS

.header-nav-item--active a {
    text-decoration: underline !important;
}

Hi tuanphan

Thanks for your reply.

That works fine with the navigation header, but with the category titles in the archive block it doesn't work.

I have managed to make the category titles change colour when visited but I would like them to only change colour when selected/active. Any tricks here?

Hi. Do you still need help on this?

Hi tuanphan

Yes 🙂I use an archive block on my blog page to filter content. I am still looking for a way to highlight the selected category by making the font bold when active. 

I have been experimening with this too. I can't make it work because as soon as you select a category and click it, you navigate away from the archive block, and it is no longer on the page,  so in effect it is no longer active. I think it becomes more "last visited" as opposed to active. With that in mind maybe a coder can target it.

This will require CSS & javaScript. Do you use Personal or Business or Commerce Plan?

Also, you haven't changed blog page seo title, so browser tab name still shows "Blog 2"

Hi, we use Business plan.

The site is still under development therefore i haven't changes the tab names yet.

Hi, big thanks ahead of time for your help on this. I'm interested in changing the color of an active category link for my blog posts. Is there a way to do this? I'm on a business plan. https://officeproducts.squarespace.com/used-furniture
