Highlight parent menu item when open post with custom permalink

  • Hello,
    I created a site with a blog and want a menu item “blog”, added custom permalink structure with the slug “blog” (/blog/%postname%/). Now I’d like the menu item “blog” to be highlighted when any blog article is open. Since the posts are not real children of the parent “blog” page, the <li> tag does not get the .current-menu-item class. How to go about this?

  • I don’t know if I understand you correctly, but if you assigned Blog posts page under Settings -> Reading, then <li> tag will have .current_page_parent class applied. Would this help you?
