Main navigation for "Events" stays permanently in "On" state

[Robert Hickling]

It looks like my events tab in my navigation is permanently stuck to “on” no matter what page is selected. Here’s my site: http://redpoppyarthouse.org. Thanks!

Robert, did you use the WP menu manager events panel to add the link?

[Christina]

I saw this same behavior. I used Appearance > Menu to build my menus. My Events menu item always has the class “current_menu_item current_page_item” designation no matter what page I am on. As a temporary fix, I used css !important to override it

[Shane Pearlman]

Ok thanks folks. We’ll look into it.

HI, Christina,
Can you let me know the specifics of the css !important you used? Thanks!

[Christina]

It really depends on what you are trying to do in your active state and what the menu idea number is. In my case, I’m underlining active links, and my Events link is “21”. So my code is this:

.menu-item-21 a { text-decoration: none !important;} /*turn off underline globally*/
.events-archive .menu-item-21 a { text-decoration: underline !important;} /*activate it on event calendar page*/
.events-single .menu-item-21 a { text-decoration: underline !important;} /*activate it on single event page*/

Hi, Shane,
Sorry to be a pest. Any luck?
Thanks,

[Rob]

Robert & Christina – we’ve identified that this was a legitimate bug. We have fixed it for 2.0.1, so that anytime someone is on an events-related loop (list view, grid view, single day, etc) the top-level “Events” header is highlighted. Just QA’d this today so it’s ready to go once we get the code out there.
