CMW filter is being applied to a different menu too!

    Hi. Love your plugin. It’s super powerful and has made it so much easier to create the menus in the way I want.

    But I have one problem. I have a Custom Menu Wizard widget in my sidebar – which is working brilliantly. It shows the sub-pages for whichever section the user is in.

    But I have another widget in the footer of my site. This uses the standard Custom Menu widget and I have set it to show my Footer menu. However this footer menu is being filtered the same way as the sidebar menu is. So instead of showing a nice sitemap at the bottom of my site, it’s only showing the section that the user is in – just like the sidebar.

    I want to show the full footer menu in the footer. But the filtered menu using CMW in the sidebar.

    Here is my shortcode for the sidebar (which is working well):

    [cmwizard menu=3 branch=current start_at=”2″ start_mode=level siblings=1 container_id=”nav_menu-3″]

    Can you please tell me how to make the filter in the footer NOT be filtered?

    Thanks

    Do you have a web-accessible site I can look at?

    You’ll need to change your hosts file to look at it. (Otherwise you’ll see the old/current site).

    Can you email me (rb[at]wizzud.com) a couple of screenshots? : the footer sidebar widgets (in the backend Widgets admin), and a Firebug(?) HTML – or a View Source dump? – of the both the offending front end footer widget code (at least the start of it) and the ok front end CMW widget.

    And what WP version are you using? Latest (3.9.1)?

    Thanks so much. I’ve just sent the information.

    One quick test : if you deactivate CMW, does the footer menu still show the same information as it does with CMW active?

    And a question : besides CMW, what other plugins do you have installed that are to do with custom menus?

    Ok, that’s weird. I deactivated CMW and the problem still occurs in the footer widget. So it appears it’s not CMW causing it after all! Sorry!

    But now I’m REALLY confused. I don’t think I have have any other logic that is being applied to custom menus.

    The only plugins I have are for visibility of whole widgets, not parts of menus. I’m using:
    Widget CSS Classes – to add a class to a widget.
    Display Widgets – to show or hide complete widgets on pages.

    I’m running the Genesis framework.

    Now I’m stumped. Any ideas what else might cause this?

    The “problem footer” html you sent me has 5 top level items, of which only Home and About Us do not have sub-menu items. Of the sub-items, the second (of 3) sub-item – “Treatments” – below “Patient Information” is shown as being “current”.

    In other words, your menu structure (in the HTML!) is:

    Home
About Us
Patient Information
 - Eye Conditions
 - Treatments (marked current)
 - FAQs
GP's & Optometrists Information
 - Information brochures
 - Request a seminar for your practice
Contact Us
 - Hamilton
 - Thames
 - Matamata
 - Te Awamutu
 - Morrinsville
 - Huntly
 - Cambridge

    If that is the full extent of your “Footer Menu” custom menu then I don’t see the problem : all options are there even though the current page is Treatments.

    Also, the menu is not being filtered by CMW. If CMW was filtering, it would do exactly that : filter. Ie. there would not be a full menu. And there would be extra classes set by CMW. I’nm afraid this is all down to your Custom Menu widget and CSS, not CMW.

    Oops, sorry, crossover of postings.
    Check your CSS and see what is keeping the sub-menus that aren’t on the current path, invisible.

    Oh, I’m really sorry for wasting your time! I thought I had dug into the HTML and couldn’t see the items there, but you’re right, they’re all there.

    Thank you for taking the time to look into it. And I’m really sorry that it wasn’t actually CMW at all that was the problem.

    I appreciate your amazing customer service.

    No problem.
