WP 3.0 Menu Highlight not working since 4.0.4

Postby photon » 15 Mar 2012, 17:07

Hi,

I'm using several WP 3.0 Menus in widgets.

PhotographyUncapped.com

Before updating to 4.0.4 (I was lagging behind on versions), the menu tab highlight was working as expected.
Now I can't seem to get it to work.
I've searched the topic, and tried changing the Suffusion menu options without success.

As usual, I figure it's a simple thing that I'm missing.

Thanks for any input.

This is the same whether there are plugins installed or not.

Any ideas as to why? Thanks.

I think that your problem is related to the fact that there isn't nav menus, are widgets and as widgets is practically simple lists, not follow rules for menus. Can try to make a menu with 2, 3 pages and assign it as Navigation Bar Below Header or Above Header to see if the problem persist?

The Nav menus work as expected.
But, the Widget menus also did before upping to 4.0.4; i.e. the Highlight function worked.

I prefer the way I can lay out the widget menus, this is an ongoing issue for the site.

See, there is a difference between core functionality and a workaround. Strictly speaking, core functionality doesn't support menus as widgets in the nav bar - it was never intended to support it, and the fact that it worked previously was merely circumstantial. I wrote about this in my release notes recently (http://aquoid.com/news/2012/02/suffusion-version-4-0-2/).

Anyway, follow my suggestion here and see if it works for you.
