Anchor ID menu styling

Hi Holly,

Because all the anchors point to the same page (the current page) they are receiving the current-page-item class and therefore the ‘current’ styles. As this plugin has no way of knowing which anchor might be the current one, it is unable to differentiate between them.

Hi Holly,

If you un-check “Keep all accordion sections closed until clicked” the menu will open to the current level when the page loads.

If you add a little Custom CSS to your site the icons will hide when the menu is open which will prevent the accordion menus from being closed after being opened. You may then leave “Keep all accordion sections closed until clicked” checked.

.page-child .dashicons-arrow-up { display: none; }

This will only target the menu when on a child page.

Here is a screen cast if what I am seeing:

1. Are you seeing something different?
2. Is this something different than what you are requesting?

From what I understand, all you need to do now is un-check “Keep all accordion sections closed until clicked” and everything will work as desired.

Have a great weekend!

You may accomplish this by adding the following filter to your active theme’s functions.php file:

<?php add_filter( 'advanced-sidebar-menu/menus/widget-instance', function ( $instance ) { $instance['keep_closed'] = 'checked'; if ( is_page() && (int) get_queried_object()->post_parent !== 0 ) { $instance['keep_closed'] = false; } return $instance; } );

Afterward, the widget setting will be ignored and be automatically set depending if you are on a child page or not.

This is mostly likely caused if there is an extra <?php tag being added because it’s after a previous one.

Please try adding it without the <?php line.
