Parent/Ancestor Classes

That’s not currently a feature, but I’ve added it to our issues list so I can add it to the next version of the plugin (hopefully soon): https://github.com/billerickson/BE-Subpages-Widget/issues/3

Thanks. Looking forward to the update.

+1 for that update. highlighting parent of current page would be super useful ??

If anyone needs this here’s how I did it:
ensure jquery is loaded into WP.

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
 jQuery("ul ul li.widget_subpages_current_page").parent().prev().addClass("widget_subpages_current_page");
});

this will add the class “widget_subpages_current_page” to the preceeding elements parent in the DOM from the child item that is selected. (I think!) A bit of a hack but seems to work ??

The classes are now filterable, so you should be able to write a function that adds the class with PHP rather than depending upon jQuery.

Can you give us a sample?
