I'm encountering an issue with my website's sidebar. I've set the background color to yellow for elements with the currentPage
class. This works fine for the 'Home' tab, but when I try to do the same for a nested tab like 'tagger.site' under 'Projects', it doesn't change the background color to yellow even if I use the !important string. Is there a way to forcefully change the background color or should I consider modifying my CSS selector for currentPage?
