"Advanced parameters > Active" not working

Hi @bluegeek26

The parents are getting the active color because they are opened to show the submenu inside them, so they are indicating what is the page the user is currently seeing.
It is not based on the URL, but on the menu item’s position within the menu, and the menu was made this way.

You might try to do some custom JavaScript coding and change the font color of the currently viewed page’s link yourself, but that won’t be so easy thing to do.

Hey @nextendweb_ramona

Yes it’s not necessarily based on the URL (and can be menu item’s position within the menu, as you say). What I did was cover all the bases, the “what if’s”. Do you understand now?

The tooltip for Advanced parameters > Active shows:

The current page is active highlighted. You can disable, mark active only the current page(item) or mark the current page and it’s parents(branch).

Each corresponds to the options: (1) Disabled, (2) Item, (3) Branch

The boldfaced part is what I’d like. As of version 9.3.1, based on the fresh installation tests I did, your plugin appears to be bugged — it’s forever frozen as (3).

What I’m seeing now no matter which option I choose is the italicized part (third option, called “Branch” = mark the current page and it’s parents).

Why are (1) and (2) not working? That’s all I’m asking. (2 – Item – Mark active only the current page) is part of the plugin’s functionality, after all.

(2 – Item – Mark active only the current page) and (3 – Branch – Mark the current page and it’s parents) are two available options. Your reply supports (3), but forgets that (2) exists.

Have you tried to see if (2) works? Cheers

Hi @bluegeek26

I understand what you mean now, sorry for the misunderstanding.

It seems that the opened class is being colored at the wrong place, so
please open up this file:
\wp-content\plugins\nextend-accordion-menu\themes\default\default\style.less
and search for “opened”. The second result will look like this:

&.opening,
&.opened,
&.active{
    span.inner span,
    a{
        &,
        span{
            d: e(~"@{level@{index}font-active}");
        }
    }
}

and from here, you should remove the line which contains the “opened” word, so it should look like this:

&.opening,
&.active{
    span.inner span,
    a{
        &,
        span{
            d: e(~"@{level@{index}font-active}");
        }
    }
}

When you are done, go back to your menu and save on it to create new cache files which are using this setting.

Now it should work now as you would like it to work.

Thanks for reporting the problem! (We’ll put this to the next version, so it will work like this from now on.)

Hi @nextend_ramona

That fixed it! Thanks so much. I can confirm that all three options work now. You’re a real pro, and keep up the good work. ??

Btw, you’re welcome too. Glad to help with reporting the problem.

Hi @bluegeek26

I’m glad to hear it is working correctly ??
