What are the solutions to highlight "blog" in the top navigation bar on all blog pages in Webflow?

To highlight the "blog" link in the top navigation bar on all blog pages in Webflow, you can use one of the following solutions:

1. Add a Current class: Webflow allows you to add a specific class to an element when it is the current page. By adding the "Current" class to the "blog" link in the top navigation bar, you can style it differently to make it stand out. Here's how to do it:

• Click on the "blog" link in the Navigator panel to select it.
• In the Element Settings panel, look for the "Current" classes dropdown field.
• Select the checkbox next to "Current" and click the "+" icon to create a new class or choose an existing class.
• Define the styles for the "Current" class, such as changing the font color, background color, or adding a border, to make it visually distinct.

1. Use a CMS Collection: If you are using Webflow's CMS to manage your blog posts, you can create a CMS Collection for your blog posts. Within this collection, you can set up a field for the blog category or tag. Then, you can create a dynamic list for your blog posts in the navbar and apply a conditional filter to highlight the "blog" link when on blog pages. Here's how to set it up:

• Create a CMS Collection for your blog posts if you haven't already done so.
• Add a new field to your collection for the blog category or tag and make sure to fill it in for each blog post.
• In the Designer, add a dynamic list element to your navbar.
• Bind the dynamic list to your CMS Collection and configure the list to display the blog categories or tags as links.
• Apply a conditional filter to the dynamic list to only show the blog category or tag that corresponds to the current page. This can be done by comparing the current URL slug with the CMS field value.
• Style the "blog" link in the dynamic list to make it visually distinct from the other links.

1. Create a Symbol: Another solution is to create a symbol for your top navigation bar and include the "blog" link within that symbol. This way, any changes made to the symbol will be reflected across all pages in your Webflow project that use the symbol. Here's how to do it:

• Select the entire top navigation bar and click on the "Create Symbol" button in the top toolbar.
• Give your symbol a descriptive name, such as "Top Navigation Bar" or something similar.
• Double-click on the symbol to enter the symbol editing mode.
• Add the "blog" link to the navigation bar inside the symbol.
• Style the "blog" link to make it visually distinct, such as changing its font color or background color.
• Click on the "Done" button to exit the symbol editing mode.
• Go to each blog page and replace the existing top navigation bar with the symbol by dragging and dropping it from the Symbols panel.
• With the symbol inserted, any changes made to the "blog" link styling in the symbol will be automatically applied to all instances of the symbol.

These solutions will help you highlight the "blog" link in the top navigation bar on all blog pages in Webflow, ensuring that it stands out and directs users to your blog section.
