What causes wp_nav_menu to highlight wrong menu item ? WordPress

binaural comments:

No. It is a page

Michael Caputo comments:

If your blog links under "projects" are BLOG posts, then it will think they're news - that's why the 'news' menu item is getting that class.

binaural comments:

Please see index.php which is my blog page "news"

Michael Caputo comments:

Is it possible you have a page and a category called Projects?

Fixing with CSS would be easy, but not the most elegant solution

binaural comments:

No. At his point, after hitting my head on the desk for the last 2 days, anything that fixes this will be great :D

binaural comments:

"Projects" links to the projects page, which is a page template that loads 6 posts. Any of those posts link to a single.php that displays the project

Navjot Singh comments:

Thanks. Also I have edited my reply because I think the issue is not with the page Projects use. Can you please paste your index.php here?

binaural comments:

Pasted above. Messy I know

Navjot Singh comments:

Can you give me a temporary login to test?

Navjot Singh comments:

Sorry but I wanted the Wordpress dashboard login not the FTP one.

Navjot Singh comments:

Sorry for the delay in response last night because I slept. But seems you have deactivated the username. Can you please reactivate it? I still haven't checked.

try this :

function my_page_css_class($css_class, $page) {
if (get_post_type()=='yourpage' || is_page(yourpageid)) {
if ($page->ID == get_option('page_for_posts')) {
foreach ($css_class as $k=>$v) {
if ($v=='current_page_parent') unset($css_class[$k]);
}
}
if ($page->ID==57) {
$css_class[]='current_page_parent';
}
}
return $css_class;
}
add_filter('page_css_class','my_page_css_class',10,2);

hope this help

correction :

function my_page_css_class($css_class, $page) {

if (get_post_type()=='yourpage' || is_page(yourpageid)) {

if ($page->ID == get_option('page_for_posts')) {

foreach ($css_class as $k=>$v) {

if ($v=='current_page_parent') unset($css_class[$k]);

}

}

if ($page->ID==yourpageid) {

$css_class[]='current_page_parent';

}

}

return $css_class;

}

add_filter('page_css_class','my_page_css_class',10,2);

out this code on functions.php

Daniel Yoen comments:

don't forget to replace 'yourpage' and 'yourpageid' with your own :)

binaural comments:

Not working

Daniel Yoen comments:

Projects is Custom Post Type ?

binaural comments:

"Projects" is a main page

Daniel Yoen comments:

try this in functions.php :

add_filter('nav_menu_css_class', 'current_type_nav_class', 10, 2 );
function current_type_nav_class($classes, $item) {
$post_type = get_post_type();
if ($item->attr_title != '' && $item->attr_title == $post_type) {
array_push($classes, 'current-menu-item');
};
return $classes;
}

hope this help :)

binaural comments:

No luck either.

Daniel Yoen comments:

try this :

add_filter('wp_nav_menu_objects', function ($items) {
$hasSub = function ($menu_item_id, &$items) {
foreach ($items as $item) {
if ($item->menu_item_parent && $item->menu_item_parent==$menu_item_id) {
return true;
}
}
return false;
};

foreach ($items as &$item) {
if ($hasSub($item->ID, &$items)) {
$item->classes[] = 'current_page_parent';
}
}
return $items;
});

binaural comments:

Daniel, thanks for your effort but that did not work either.

binaural comments:

binaural comments:
