Well, I’m sorry, I’m a bit confused, it is late here… ??
So, here is the full code for my menu :

if ( is_date() ){ ?>
            <div class="menu2 col-lg-4 col-md-4 col-xs-4">

            <?php
            $args = array(
                    'type'            => 'monthly',
                    'post_type'       => 'video',
                    'limit'           => '',
                    'format'          => 'html',
                    'before'          => '',
                    'after'           => '',
                    'show_post_count' => false,
                    'echo'            => 1,
                    'order'           => 'DESC'
                );
            wp_get_archives_cpt($args); ?>

            </div>

            <div class="menu3 col-lg-4 col-md-4 col-xs-4">

            <?php $month=get_query_var('monthnum');
                    $args= array(
                        'monthnum' => $month
                    );
                    $my_posts = query_posts($args);
                    foreach ($my_posts as $posts) : setup_postdata( $posts ); ?>

                <li><a class="post-link" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
                    <?php endforeach; wp_reset_postdata();?>             

            </div>
        <?php } ?>

Hi,
Thank you the quick answer!
Here is my code :

<?php $month=get_query_var('monthnum');
                    $args= array(
                        'monthnum' => $month
                    );
                    echo $month;
                    $my_posts = query_posts($args);
                    foreach ($my_posts as $posts) : setup_postdata( $post ); ?>

                <li><a class="post-link" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
                    <?php endforeach; wp_reset_postdata();?>             

            </div>
        <?php } ?>

Sorry…
When I wanted to write : “when I echo $month=get_query_var('monthnum'); ”

Just to let you know,

I am trying to retrieve the posts date by using get_query_var, then get_posts by month.
But when I echo wp_reset_postdata();, all I get is a 0.
Anyone knows why the hell?

Excuse me, you have “THREE” different menu items. No two.

Man, it was so easy!
Thank you for your help.
Now everything works perfectly and I can add my menus in a very simple way! That’s so cool!

Ok, I found a solution.
It is impossible to call for get_category in a custom post type single template.
So I made an else if after the first ìf ( is_category() )`.
The only problem remaining is that it is very heavy (I have to paste the whole piece of code concerning wp_nav_menu and get_post.
Any idea on how to lighten it?

Thank you for this smart answer.
If I do an if on this :

if( is_category() || is_single() ) {
  			$cat = get_query_var('cat');
  			$category = get_category( $cat );
			if ( is_category(26) || $category->category_parent == 26 ):

and then load the category menu and the video post types, everything works until I get to the single template (I click on a video).
Once I am on the ‘single’ template, I get this error :

NOTICE: UNDEFINED PROPERTY: WP_ERROR::$CATEGORY_PARENT IN /APPLICATIONS/MAMP/HTDOCS/SUPERGRAFIC/WP-INCLUDES/CLASS-WP-ERROR.PHP ON LINE 78

There is something I don’t understand in the wp system…
Can’t it be a problem linked to the fact that I am working with custom post types?

Arg… I can’t get it to work…
I’ve tried to add a single-video.php file, but it does not solve anything… Each time I click on a video file, my menu disappears, as if I was at the root level of the site…

Hi and happy new year!
How funny it is, I was just thinking I would rename my single.php in single-video.php just to try!

I think I’ll have to be more specific…
The video must appear just next to the menu, on the right. So the user has the menus AND the video player on the same page. Exactly as it is on https://www.supergrafic.com right now.

I am facing new problems… ??
When clicking on a video link, the user gets to a “single” template. The problem in my structure is I can’t get to make the menu appear on this single template as it is on the archive template. I tried to create a single.php file, but that didn’t work.
Any idea?

Thanks for your advice!
I’m nearly done! Hope all this will help someone else one day.
I’ll put the whole piece of code as soon as it is finished.

WOW! WordPress is brilliant!
I just found that if you call to wp_list_categories as a list (‘style’ => ‘list’), you get some very cool css classes : ‘current-cat’ and ‘current-cat-parent’ !!
This way I can already highlight two levels : parent category and subcategory. Now the only thing left to be done is highlight the current post in the list and I’m done!

Ok, so, I need users (anonymous users) to know in which parent / category they are and which video they are looking at. It needs a class “active” on three levels ate the same time. I guess it can be done with something like get_categories and get_categories->parent, but I can’t figure it out clearly right now…
Here is my code :
