Common submenu example for a 2 level menu
-
HI, I think I have a very common use case for a submenu, but it took me quite a while to find the right setting. So I post it here for anyone who needs the same kind of submenu. It is a variant on version 3 in the description of the plugin.
Example 3) Show just the descendants of the current menu item (if there are any).
That works fine, but than if I click on one of the descendants in that menu the menu dissappears, while I want it to stay. So that people can easily navigate around the set of descendants.Sow what I want is this example
a) if on a “current page with descendants” it shows the descendants in the menu like in example version 3
AND
b) if on a “descendent page” show that page and it’s siblings in the menu (which results in exactly the same menu-items as under a.This can be done with these settings in the plugin for a two-level menu:
- Drag a new Custom Menu Wizard widget into the sidebar, and give it a title (if you want one)
- Select the menu you wish to use (if it’s not already selected)
- Open the FILTERS section :
- under Primary Filter, click on the Branch radio
- under Secondary Filter, set Starting at to “+1 (children)”
- under exclusionts, exclude level 1
- Open the FALLBACK section
- under Fallbacks, set If Current Item has no children to: start at: -1 parent
- Save the widget!
- Or use the shortcode
