Hi @cmrye,
Thank you for your precious feedback. Thanks to you we noticed that we have a duplicate link in the menu, thank you!
There is definitely an issue but we don’t think it’s related to our theme.
To highlight a menu link, we rely on two different states: the current page and the parent page. In some cases, the blog page can be considered as a parent page, and apparently that’s what The events calendar’s monthly archive does. Maybe this is a plugin setting but unfortunately we have no idea why.
On the other hand, we can advise you to put a direct link to your page (“/news” or “/blog”) rather than a dynamic link to the archive or the page. This will have the effect of not putting this parent/child relation state.
Regards,
