Hi @abbasinho

One way to accomplish that is to use the WP function get_queried_object_id

With that you can grab the Post/Page ID of the current page before you start iterating through your loop.

Then, in your loop you can match $nav_item->ID with the returned value of get_queried_object_id then you can apply the class appropriately.

In my testing, I set a variable containing the class name at the top of the loop if there was a match, then reset the variable at the end of the loop. There are a bunch of different ways, but using get_queried_object_id is key.

I realize this is a late reply, but hopefully it’s helpful to you or someone else.

Here’s my test code:

<?php
$current_page_id = get_queried_object_id();
$class = '';
$posts = get_field('relationship', 23);
if( $posts ) {
  $content .= '<ul>';
  foreach( $posts as $p ) {
    if ( $current_page_id == $p->ID ) {
      $class = ' style="text-decoration:line-through"';
    }
    $content .= '<li>';
    $content .= '<a href="' . get_permalink( $p->ID ) .'"' . $class . '>' . get_the_title( $p->ID ) . '</a>';
    $content .= '</li>';
    $class = '';
  }
  $content .= '</ul>';
}
echo $content;
?>
