'Current root item' bug or behavior?

    I noticed some odd behavior around using the “Children of current root item” filter. In my main nav menu, I have 4 top level menu items with various numbers of sub pages (menu contains only standard WP pages at this point). I use this same menu within a Custom Menu Wizard widget. I can configure it so the root/top level menu item is included in my widget/sidebar output, but the item links back to my home page and not the page.

    None of the Fallback or Output options seem to do this correctly. This does not seem like correct behavior, but there are so many settings to this plugin that I wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something obvious or obscure. Is this really a bug?

    Thanks.

    Hmm … well I sincerely hope it’s not a bug, because at the moment I can’t replicate it. And I agree that changing the target of the item links is definitely not correct behaviour!

    May I ask you to perform a couple of small experiments for me?

    1. Could you create an instance of WordPress’s own Custom Menu widget, and give it the same menu that you have configured for CMW, please? The Custom Menu widget should reproduce the entire menu, versus CMW’s subset, and if you could just compare the navigation of the “faulty” item on CMW with the same item on the Custom Menu widget’s output I would be grateful?

    2. If the navigation of the equivalent items (CMW vs. Custom Menu widget) doesn’t match, could you create a brand new instance of CMW and simply save it “as is”, ie. set to Show All, from level 1 for unlimited depth. As with the Custom Menu widget, you should get the entire menu from this new CMW instance, so could you just check the navigation of the equivalent problem item again for me please?

    Many thanks for the assistance, I really appreciate it (and I apologise for needing to ask for it).

    Thank you for your quick reply.

    Late yesterday, I discovered an issue with the permalink on the page that was giving me problems. I ended up deleting and recreating that page and the plugin works as I expect it to. Not sure how that page ended up with the home page as its permalink, but mystery solved.

    Good, I’m glad you’re sorted. Thanks for letting me know.
