The trail should be: www.website.com/product/item-1 and not www.website.com/item-1and, and ‘product’ shall not be clickable in the menu or in the breadcrumb.

Is that even possible? Any help would be great.

My goal is to get the Parent item of a submenu. I want it to be displayed in the content as a Page/Category Title. My menu compose of a mixture of pages and category. below is a sample layout of my blog. Ive got a main menu that has sub menu items. And a sidebar that only contains the submenu of the main menu.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|item 1 | item 2 | item 3 | item 4 |                           | Some item |
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          | item 4 Sub 1 | <-- this is a category page
  display the parent      ----------------
  item title              | item 4 Sub 2 | <-- this is a static page
   here                   ----------------
     V               |  <h3>Page/Category Title</h3>
<h2>Item 4</h2>      |
                     |       < some page contents >
item 4 Sub 1         |       < some page contents >
------------         |              or
item 4 Sub 2         |       < some category posts >
                     |       < some category posts >
                     |       < some category posts >
                     |
                     |

Im currently using this code but it only works if the page/post is a page and not a category page (i got it from this blog: https://pateason.com/wordpress-menu-top-most-parent-id/):

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
function get_menu_parent_ID($menu_name){
    if(!isset($menu_name)){
      return "No menu name provided in arguments";
    }
    $menu_slug = $menu_name;
    $locations = get_nav_menu_locations();
    $menu_id   = $locations[$menu_slug];
    $post_id        = get_the_ID();
    $menu_items     = wp_get_nav_menu_items($menu_id);
    $parent_item_id = wp_filter_object_list($menu_items,array('object_id'=>$post_id),'and','menu_item_parent');
    $parent_item_id = array_shift( $parent_item_id );
    function checkForParent($parent_item_id,$menu_items){
      $parent_post_id = wp_filter_object_list( $menu_items, array( 'ID' => $parent_item_id ), 'and', 'object_id' );
      $parent_item_id = wp_filter_object_list($menu_items,array('ID'=>$parent_item_id),'and','menu_item_parent');
      $parent_item_id = array_shift( $parent_item_id );
      if($parent_item_id=="0"){
        $parent_post_id = array_shift($parent_post_id);
        return $parent_post_id;
      }else{
        return checkForParent($parent_item_id,$menu_items);
      }
    }
    if(!empty($parent_item_id)){
      return checkForParent($parent_item_id,$menu_items);
    }else{
      return $post_id;
    }
  }

$parentID = get_menu_parent_ID('main_nav');

---------------------------------------------------------------------

How do I go about it? Are there any other way of doing this?

I really need your help.

Thanks,

David

parent items in menu are not active.
menu ex:
cat1
-subcat1
-subcat2
…

when i click on cat1 to see all subcats on one page it only changes bg color and the submenu stays open, that’s a bit embarrassing for navigating.

could you please suggest me how to fix this?

thanks a lot!
