In reply to Peter Luit. Thanks for the heads up, your solution worked for me. Although, for anyone having an issue, make sure the quotation marks look like " (not ”) and enter a proper hex colour code, like f00 or ff0000 for red.

Conclusion: the “current-page-ancestor” class is finally working fine here, i guess Beaver Builder team has fixed the issue in a recent BB Plugin 1.9 update, thanks to them !

I asked Beaver Builder support: they answered me BB Menu module uses the “current-menu-ancestor” class too, so it should work.
I looked in my browser source code again and… didn’t find this class.
BB support finally told me it should work and this certainly was a bug they have to fix: to be continued.

Hi Ian,
Thanks for the tip i just discover on your website, many interesting things here ;-).
It works OK for me… if the menu is integrated with the customizer.
But i use a custom header and integrate my menu with BB menu module.
Unfortunately, the “current-page-ancestor” class is not handled in that case, neither another specific class we could target.
I keep searching.

In reply to Ian Thompson. Did you try it anywhere else? Check the " signs in the code I supplied.

Maybe just this site – I’ll give it a go on another – thanks, Peter!

In reply to David Waumsley. Thanks, David - I just wish I could figure out how to get Beaver Builders menu module to highlight the current menu item too and I'm done!

In reply to Peter Luit. Thanks, Peter - I tried that but it doesn't seem to work for me.

In reply to Ian Thompson. I did that in several themes, including BB theme, but also in Genesis/Dynamik combinations.
