Menu problem CSS choosing wrong current_page_parent

No, I don’t think this is a css problem. You’ve written your css correct. The problem is that wordpress spots out wrong class as the current.

Are this pages or categories?

The problem is when you go to a single post, am I right?
You’ve probably choosed news as the single-post-page.

Thanks for the fast response!

It happens when I go to a category page: https://www.evoenergy.co.uk/system-type/on-roof/

Or a single post page:
https://www.evoenergy.co.uk/solar-pv-case-studies/20-x-solar-century-185-panels-in-gwent/

The problem is I also have a news area, which needs to be set as news for single posts.

Is there a way to tell wordpress that these custom posts are “special” and should be treated differently to standard news posts?

Many Thanks

Tom

Yeah, I have the same problem myself. WordPress dosen’t understand by defaut which page it’s suppose to be.

I solved it by putting a class around my different single-pages and then used it for marking the menu. Like:
.interviews #menu ul li.menu-item-642 {background:#4e4e4e;}

Guess there’s better way of doing it though. I just could’t come up with anything else.

is that along the lines of:

// Add current-menu-item functionality to custom post types
add_filter( 'hybrid_body_class', 'add_to_body_class' );

function add_to_body_class( $class ) {

    global $post;

 	// Use switch to filter through custom post types
	switch(get_post_type())
 	{
 		case 'Films':
		// If custom post type is films, add current-menu-item class to body.
 		$classes[] = 'current-menu-item';

 		break;

 	}
 	// return the $classes array
 	return $classes;
}

it’s pretty annoying that it doesn’t see a custom post correctly…

Where did you find that?

Ok, that script is suppose to give the body tag an class.. am I right or wrong?
