Conditional Menu Display

    Hi,

    I’m trying to do something that I think should be fairly simple with this plugin, but I can’t seem to follow the logic to sort it out. My menu looks like this:

    -Page A
    –subpage 1
    –subpage 2
    -Page B
    –subpage 1
    –subpage 2
    -Page C
    –subpage 1
    –subpage 2

    I’m looking for a menu that would display the same on both the Pages and subpages, showing only what is in that category. So on both Page A and its subpages the menu would be:
    -Page A
    –subpage 1
    –subpage 2

    On Page B and it’s subpages the menu would be:
    -Page B
    –subpage 1
    –subpage 2

    etc, etc. So basically for the Pages, I want to show their title and children, and on subpages I want to show their Parent and siblings.

    Does that make sense? Any assistance would be appreciated.

    So it’s Branch=Current Item, Starting at 1 (root) (primary & secondary filters respectively)?

    Using that I got a shortcode output that looks like this:
    [cmwizard menu=329 branch=current start_at=”-1″ depth=2/]

    This is giving me the menu I want on the subpages (showing only their siblings and parent). But on the main pages, the only thing in the menu is the current page. What do I need to add to also display the children menu items (but nothing else) on those main pages?

    Thank you very much for your help.

    Using my suggestion should have resulted in a shortcode equivalent of

    [cmwizard menu=329 branch=current start_at="1"/]

    However, seeing as you only have 2 levels in your menu, it makes no difference because the parent of a root level item is still that root level item. And with a setting of depth 2, in a 2-level menu, CMW will show both levels.

    Using your settings, given that one branch of menu #329 looks like…

    • Page A (at root level, level 1)
    • subpage 1 (at level 2, immediate child of Page A)
    • subpage 2 (at level 2, immediate child of Page A)

    …then if Page A is current, CMW should show 2 levels of #329, starting with Page A‘s parent (there isn’t one so it uses Page A), ie. Page A, subpage 1 & subpage 2.
    If subpage 1 is current, CMW should show 2 levels of #329, starting with subpage 1‘s parent (Page A), ie. Page A, subpage 1 & subpage 2. Likewise if subpage 2 is current.

    My understanding of your requirement is that CMW should show Page A, subpage 1 & subpage 2 – and only those items – if any one of those 3 pages is the current page?
    Does the CMW widget Assist produce the output you are after, using the settings you have given?

    Hi,

    This still gives me the same issue with the menu being correct on the subpages, but not being able to display the children on the main pages.

    I really appreciate all of your help and quick responses.

    I think I’ll just the regular Custom Menu plugin for this.

    Do you have a web-accessible site that I can look at?
