    Hello everyone, I'm using the genesis parallax theme and trying to highlight the login menu item on my site. How would I do it when the login/logut link is hardcoded on to the functions.php (the code below) I have tried adding the "highlight" code from the atmosphere pro theme but nothing changes..what I;m missing? How would I add the highlight style code to the link below?

    add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'sp_add_loginout_link', 10, 2 );
    function sp_add_loginout_link( $items, $args ) {
    	// Change 'primary' to 'secondary' to put the login link in your secondary nav bar
    	if ( $args->theme_location != 'primary' )
    		return $items;
    	if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
    		$items .= '<li class="menu-item"><a href="'. wp_logout_url() .'">Log Out</a></li>';
    	} else {
    		$items .= '<li class="menu-item"><a href="'. site_url('logga-test/') .'"><i class="fa fa-sign-in" class=".highlight" aria-hidden="true"></i>Log In</a></li>';
    	}
    	return $items;

    Thanks for taking the time to help.

    Add a class to the li element and use CSS to highlight it with any color you choose.
