   When I'm on the sub-sub page only that menu item and the menu item above in the hiearchy are affected with the current_page styles, not the parent page. Example:

   Home
   Portfolio
   - Customers
   - - Company
   Contact

   when it should be

   Home
   Portfolio
   - Customers
   - - Company
   Contact

   Any idea how I could fix this?

   I'll take a quick guess and say that might be already reported as an enhancement via Trac Ticket 4351.

   Let me know if I'm wrong about that.

   I had to come up with something to do the same thing ... here's what I have at the moment;

   replace the following in classes.php (it's around line 515).
   

   /*
   $_current_page = get_page( $current_page );
   if ( $page->ID == $current_page )
   	$css_class .= ' current_page_item ';
   elseif ( $_current_page && $page->ID == $_current_page->post_parent )
   	$css_class .= ' current_page_parent';
   */
   $_parent = get_page($current_page)->post_parent;
   $_parentparent = get_page(get_page($current_page)->post_parent)->post_parent;
   if ( $page->ID == $current_page ) $css_class .= ' current_page_item';
   elseif ( $page->ID == $_parent ) $css_class .= ' current_page_parent';
   elseif ( $page->ID == $_parentparent ) $css_class .= ' current_page_parent_parent';

   I'd be very interested to see someone improve this - I don't really know PHP I just kind of guessed and tried things until got it working.

   Site is http://www.unofficialaleagueupdate.com.au/?page_id=45 - special editions is three levels deep but I want to keep it highlighted when you are in that section.

   Use the CSS selector

   current_page_ancestor

   eg:

   li.current_page_item, li.current_page_parent, li.current_page_ancestor {
   	font-weight: bold; }

   10 hours of work, several plugins later and I find that it all comes down to one little variable:

   current_page_ancestor

   Genius! Knowledge really is a powerful thing.

   So with that input my horizontal menu is finished http://www.colincaprani.com If it would help people I could blog about the solution?
