Comments on: Folding menu for WordPress pages using jQuery

Instead of the Pages widget, we use Custom Menus (WP 3) which uses classes like menu-item, menu-item-type-TYPE, menu-item-ID, current-menu-item, current-menu-ancestor. Is there a way to modify this plugin/script to work with custom menus instead of a Pages widget?

Dear Elio,

Thank you for your quick reply. I will try that.

Happy new year.
Kind regards,

Annedorte, you're going to have to add more specificity by including, for example, the ID of the sidebar where the widget is loaded or the ID of the widget, here:


jQuery(".page_item ul").hide();
jQuery(".current_page_item ul").slideDown();

For instance, if the widget is loaded in a sidebar with id="secondary" add this:


jQuery("#secondary .page_item ul").hide();
jQuery("#secondary .current_page_item ul").slideDown();

Otherwise you need to enter the ID of the widget, so that it works more specifically, for instance:


jQuery("#pages-2 .page_item ul").hide();
jQuery("#pages-2 .current_page_item ul").slideDown();

BTW, make sure you're using the updated version of this code (which is actually a WordPress plugin) located in this page.

A really great and useful plugin. However I have trouble on my site because there are two menus and it unfolds both. The top menu is a dropdown and should remain that way so only the parent is showing. In the sidebar I have a widget with my pages and I want that to fold/unfold. It works well. Except that when the plugin is activated it unfolds the top menu too. How do I change that?

Thanks for this article.
I’ve used it to hide my subcategories in a menu using the Shopp e-commerce plugin.
As my usual plugin wasn’t working (Shopp don’t use the normal WP categories, posts or pages but has it’s own menu), I’ve customized your code and it’s working great
Thanks one more time.
