Remove current-menu-item for a specific link

Question

bbPress uses a custom post type called forums. When I click on forums, both forums and the Blog menu items are highlighted as a current-menu-item.

Is there a way to remove the current-menu-item from Blog when the post-type = forum?

Answer 1

i would use jquery

$('#menu-item-xxx').removeClass('current-menu-item');

Answer 2

I'd try to format my CSS rules accordingly. If you're using body_class() you can always target single-posttype so as a quick example

.single-posttype .current-menu-item { display: none; }

Will hide the current menu item when you're on a specific post type. If this makes sense hehe. Another way would be creating your own navigation menu Walker and running some additional checks inside.
