Getting a weird issue with menus not working correctly.

Site has a defined menu in Wordpress (WP4.4). Two top level options first up that have no sub-menus, then 3 options that do have sub-menus. Atahualpa is configured to use the menu as the first option.

Issue seems to be that the `rMenu-expand` class gets added to the first menu entry that doesn't contain a sub-item which appears before the menu entry that contains a sub-item (instead of the entry with sub-items). In the case of my site this is the first menu entry "Home".

Works fine with the twentyfifteen theme, but it doesn't really add a class like this (just sub-items). Have tried with no plugins. Also tried without & in the menu entry title. Also tried recreating the menu entry from scratch. Tried with and without my child theme.

Config attached, but pretty sure this is a code bug. Also attached is a pic of the menu as currently configured in WP. Most items in the menu are Pages, so should be easily reproduced.

FYI: Moving "Blog" after "About CCHS" (and it's sub-items) ends up with a sub-item marker attached to "Blog" as well (the one from "About Rules & Policies" disappears).

I'm getting the same thing. I'm also on WP 4.4, and Ata is up to date. I believe it happened for me right after the 4.4 update.

@cefiar - I can't reproduce it with your export. Mind sending me a PM with an admin id/pw so I can poke about?

EDIT: NEVER MIND - I HAVE REPRODUCED IT. Now let me see hat is happening...

Great to see you've reproduced it.

As @dabeed said, it only seemed to appear once updated to 4.4.

I upgraded my test site first and didn't notice it before I upgraded the live site. I only noticed as I had another tab open from before the upgrade (live site) that I hadn't refreshed.

@juggledad - Many thanks for your time on this. As always, it's appreciated.

The problem is caused by wordpress changing the string the custom menus returned. The good news is (after banging my head on this for a loooooong time) it is a simple fix, so please try this.

edit bfa_new_wp3_menus.php and change line 43 from

	$newmenu = preg_replace("/<li (.*?)class=\"(.*?)\">(.*?)\n(.*?)<ul class=\"/i","<li \\1 class=\"rMenu-expand \\2\">\\3\n\\4<ul class=\"rMenu-ver ",$newmenu);

to

	$newmenu = preg_replace("~menu-item-has-children~","rMenu-expand menu-item-has-children",$newmenu);

and let me know if you have any issues

It works (for me)! Thank you so much, Juggledad! You = Da man. : )

One issue:

I have this CSS, for making the menu slightly transparent:

ul.rMenu-ver {
opacity: .95;
}

But now that code has no effect, and I tried adding !important.

Ok one fix for the issue above is to change the CSS to:

ul.sub-menu {
opacity: .95;
}

Thanks again, Juggledad!

I agree, you're definitely "Da man" @Juggledad!

Fix is now in and working perfectly!

@dabeed - I might just steal that menu opacity CSS idea.
