Replying to [ticket:14844 holypixel]:
> Item D, under both parent 1 and parent 2 will have the css class
current-menu-item. This appears to be incorrect, as they are both differnt
menu items. It also lists current-page-item for both, which is correct.
I don't understand why you think that is incorrect. If I am currently
viewing the Item D page, then Item D is the current item, no matter what
list it appears in. Item D is identical to Item D, so it's not as though
one Item D appears in a different place in the actual site hierarchy than
the other.
And from a practical matter, how is WordPress supposed to know which Item
D you really intend to be visiting? Each Item D has the same URL, so
there's no way to distinguish them.
Think about it this way. I might categorize the United States under
multiple lists: say "North American Countries" or "UN Security Council
Members," but for each list it is still correct to say that the United
States is the country in which I currently reside.
> As such, it appears impossible to apply unique styling to the current
page parent if that page appears under multiple parents, as all of the
parents will receive the same style.
>
> Is there a way around this?
To me this seems like a conceptual problem, not a technical one. Instead
of trying to make two identical objects differ, try making two different
objects.
