I've created a Dynamic Menu that highlights the selected page and colors for example the blog page "red" while the other links (home, about, contanct) remain white.

My question is how can I make the Dynamic Menu work when say the blog goes to /blog/page/2/ and have the blog remain red instead of dropping the highlight?

Here's the code for my menu.


< nav id="menu" class="mid" role="navigation">
  < ?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'primary-menu' ) ); ?>
< /nav>

Then, I register the menu inside the functions.php


add_action( 'init', 'register_my_menu' );
    function register_my_menu() {
        register_nav_menu( 'primary-menu', __( 'Primary Menu' ) );
    }

Here's the CSS that highlights the .current-menu-item

#menu .current-menu-item a { opacity: 1.0; }

This is when the Menu is Active on example.com/work

menu active

This is when the Menu is Active on the example.com/blog *just the first blog page though menu active blog

This is the menu when it switches to example.com/blog/page/2, example.com/work/showcase/website1337 menu not active

How, can I make it so that the Dynamic Menu detects that /page/2 is still associated with the parent page "/blog/, /work/" and is still highlighted like images 1 and 2?

Thanks :3

  • Thanks for sharing the Codex for this! I think this will lead me in the right direction to getting this to work. I just have to figure out if my menu is even connecting the parent pages, because when I add say .current-menu-parent or .current_page_ancestor it's not highlighting it.
