Divi Slide-in Menu: Automatically Open the Submenu for the Current Page

Written by Dan Mossop

|

The Divi theme lets you select from various header menu formats, including a slide-in menu. Normally the slide-in menu will have only the top level links displaying, with all submenus closed. If instead want the slide-in menu to start with the submenu of the current page already open, here's how to do it.

Automatically opening the current submenu using jQuery

There isn't currently an option within Divi to automatically open the current page's submenu, but you can enable this behavior by adding the following jQuery code to your site:

<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
	$('#mobile_menu_slide').find('.current-menu-ancestor,.current-menu-item').filter('.menu-item-has-children').find('.et_mobile_menu_arrow').click();
});
</script>

You can add this at:

Once added, whenever you are on either the page corresponding to a top level link with a submenu, or a page corresponding to a submenu item, that submenu will be opened automatically.
