Yeh I was afraid of that, i’m gonna give it a go with the page referrer. Thanks alot for your help!

Thanks for the suggestion, i’ll look into it!

Also just thought of another way, using the $_SESSION variable to store the last known parent, although this wouldn’t work if people disabled cookies right?

I’ll give them both a try and will come back if one of these fixed it or not ??

Thanks for the replies so far Esmi!

When coming from one of the men pages, yes. When coming from one of the women pages the ‘women’ tab should stay active.

The tabs in the top-left corner is basicly the main navigation, the navigation bar under the logo will be the sub-navigation of the selected tab.

I want the pages that don’t have a parent to keep the last parent active (so keeping the last selected tab active).

Here is a link to a sample website (same template as the website im working on)

The menu’s I am using are all custom menu’s, the parent and ancestor classes are working as intended. What doesn’t work is: keeping the last parent tab selected if the current page does not have a parent.

Is there a way to save the last parent as a global variable? Tried to declare a global variable in functions.php but I couldn’t access it later on (tried it in header.php).

Hi Esmi,

Thanks for the quick response!

I already used CSS to modify the tabs (.current-page-ancestor and .current-page-parent).

The problem is, without assigning a parent to some pages I won’t be able to keep a menu item highlighted. And it’s not possible to assign multiple parents to a page/post (as far as I know). I’ll update my question with some screens to visualize my problem.
