what settings need in order have link menu/page when page visited highlighted active?

i`m using header.php global header config.

you can detect page splitting end of url:

var url = window.location; var page = url.split('/'); page = page.slice(-1).pop(); 

then detect condition e.g.

if(page == 'burse.php') {     $('.active').removeclass('active');     $('nav li:nth-child(3)').addclass('active'); }
