Menu Block Issue

[kris]

Menu Block has some issue. It doesnt get the current class page if it is nested sub menu. Single Submenu gets current item but if its 3rd level, only the parent menu has current item. Level 2 doesnt have currentand 3rd level.

Item 1 → Item2 = no issue.

Item1 → Item2 → Item3 = if current page is item2 or item 3 only item1 gets the current class. Item 2 will not have the current class. also if item 3 is active, only item1 and item3 gets the currentclass. Item 2 wont have the current class.

Best regards,

Hi @Louis,

With recent versions of Cwicly this is no longer an issue to my knowledge.

@kris, wondering if this is also solved for you.

Also, for anyone who wants more control over highlighting of the current menu item and to automatically highlight post terms / archives, please see this tip:

Highlight hierarchical ancestor menu items for pages and posts (e.g. custom taxonomy and terms)

I have tested and confirmed the following works with a Nav block containing a Menu block and a standalone Menu block. The code does two things: Makes nav/menu items highlight when they are logically hierarchical ancestors based on the URL e.g. https://site.com/type will be highlighted if what is being currently viewed is a page or post with the url https://site.com/type/some-page-or-post Makes nav/menu items highlight when they are hierarchically related by custom taxonomy e.g. when a viewi…
