No, I don’t need personal support.

All I needed was what you provided after more than 24 hours.

Yes, we have a free version but I am very confident that the more I demonstrate the power of this plugin to management, the greater the chances of us getting the premium version.

I take it that this is a very complicated requirement?

Not a single feedback since it was posted yesterday.

Never mind; found solution here:

Great plugin.

ok, sorry I posted before I saw your last post.

Sorry for the clutter. I wanted to make proper indentation:

GIS <– Child
   GIS Contact Form <– grand Child — wanted this to have background
   About-GIS<strong> <– grand Child — wanted this to have background</strong>
     What is GIS —made this item have background color

Hi Mat again,

It worked, sort of.
It targeted the wrong items.

We wanted the items that say <– grand child to have background color, not the items underneath them.

GIS <– Child
GIS Contact Form <– grand Child — wanted this to have background
About-GIS <– grand Child — wanted this to have background

No sir, it is not a child theme.

As far as I know, vanguard theme is not a child them.

Thank you,

Hi Mat,

I didn’t put it into my theme’s functions.php file because it is all php.

Not sure how to integrate that.

Here is the theme’s functions.php.

Sorry for the bother and very grateful for your patience and continued assistance.

Hi Mat,

Please forgive me for one more question, please.

I tried to implement this per your instructions but it is still not working. I would appreciate you looking over my approach and tell me if I missed a step or so.

First, here is the script you wrote that I am using:

(function ($) {
    $( function() {
        setTimeout(function () {
            $('page-id-2110 .child-sidebar-menu .has_children.closed span').click();
               }, 500);
    });
})(jQuery);

I created a file for this called custom-script and uploaded the file into the theme’s js folder like theme/js/custom-script.js

Then I registered the script with the following:

function wptuts_scripts_with_jquery()
{
    // I can register the script it for a theme:
    wp_register_script( 'custom-script', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/custom-script.js', array( 'jquery' ) );

    // Enqueue the script:
    wp_enqueue_script( 'custom-script' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wptuts_scripts_with_jquery' );

I added this script to functions.php. This functions.pp is inside wp_includes folder.

What am I missing?

I did not add it into functions.php in the theme’s folder.

Many thanks for all your help.

Thank you very much for all your help Mat.

Hi Mat,

I could not use any of the JS links you provided. It doesn’t allow to add new script.

I suspect this is because those features are in the premium version.

So, I decided to go the route of creating a new file with your script and register them.

Below is what I have so far. I have commented them for clarity.

What I would need clarification on are explained below.

function wptuts_scripts_with_jquery()
{
// Register the script for a plugin:
wp_register_script( ‘custom-script’, plugins_url( ‘/js/custom-script.js’, __FILE__ ), array( ‘jquery’ ) );
// or
// I can register the script it for a theme:
wp_register_script( ‘custom-script’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/js/custom-script.js’, array( ‘jquery’ ) );

// Enqueue the script:
wp_enqueue_script( ‘custom-script’ );
}
add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘wptuts_scripts_with_jquery’ );

//Here is your script that I created a file for called custom-script.js:
(function ($) {
$( function() {
setTimeout(function () {
$(‘page-id-3646.child.has_children.closed span’).click();
}, 500);
});
})(jQuery);

I need two clarifications;
One, put it in plugin folder or theme folder?
Two, Am I using the correct child name based on the widget script below?

$sidebar = $widget.parent();

if ( $sidebar.parent().hasClass(‘closed’) ) {
$sidebar.parent()
.removeClass( ‘closed’ )
.find( ‘.handlediv’ ).attr( ‘aria-expanded’, ‘true’ );

$children = $sidebar.children(‘.widget’);

// Make sure the dropped widget is at the top
if ( $children.length > 1 ) {
child = $children.get(0);
item = $widget.get(0);

if ( child.id && item.id && child.id !== item.id ) {
$( child ).before( $widget );
}
}
}

The widget file is very long and I thought I post the relevant part to show whether I am using it correctly in your script.

Many thanks Mat for your patience.

Or perhaps, it belongs in a plugin file since I am using Advanced Sidebar pages menu plugin?

I found it.

Thanks so much for your kindness.

My only concern, if you would be kind enough to assist one more time is determining what js file to stick the code in.

I am Vanguard theme, unfortunately, it is internal:

https://preview.themeforest.net/item/vanguard-business-portfolio-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/3562193?_ga=2.239238275.1473499094.1537822152-1136655187.1532637022

There are several js files.

Not sure how familiar you with this theme to make the recommendation of which file to put my script into; does it really matter?

I like themes that give you the option to write custom JS just as you have the option to write custom CSS.

I didn’t purchase this theme.

Many thanks for your help.

Hi Mat,

Thanks for the great solution.

There is one problem though.

We do not want ALL grandchildren to be open by default; just some selected grandchild of certain children.

If there is any way to stick that solution to certain widgets but not all, that would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks for your help.

Thanks so much Steve for the prompt response.

Problem with these plugins is that they require an employee to log in first.

We would just like to create a department, create the employees for this department and set the restrict limiting them access just to the department they belong to without having to log in.

We had an employee do this a long time again but he is no longer here and the wordpress he created is no longer available either.
