Active tab or menu - kayinja.denis - 07-25-2017
why is it when i select one tab even the other gets highlighted like it is in the image attached.
I mean I've five menu/tabs;
Fee type
Expense Type
Invoice
Payment History
Expense
but when i select "Expense Type" and gets highlighted even "Expense" get highlighted the same case applies to "Expense"
I've tried to go through that problem but I've failed, any suggestion please.

Without any code we could only guess

If you're using ajax, you can use javascript to set a current tab to have a class.
Using php, you can use a conditional statement to check a url for a tab that needs to be highlighted. For example
Code:
<ul class="list-inline">
<li class="<?= is_current_url(current_url()) ? 'active' : '' ?>">
my tab one
</li>
<li class="<?= is_current_url(current_url()) ? 'active' : '' ?>">
my tab two
</li>
</ul>You'll have to write the is_current_url() function, but that should work for you.
I would recommend using both javascript and the php method so your tabs work regardless of whether or not you're using Ajax

Maybe expense type and expense share the same tab ID.
But without any code this is pure guess work.
