active menu open

So if the base is set to something other than current, it doesn't work. To me, that is a core Joomla problem. I have tried using Menu Item Alias and that seems to work. So I'll move forward with that. Thank you for your help and attention.

Except that now I see that the top menu item doesn't link to the same page (blog listing) as the main menu because it is only activating the accordeon. I can't find a setting for that. I want that top item - 'Filing' - to open/close the submenu and ALSO load the page content. Is that possible? www.fiberkraft.com/joomla/index.php/prod...legal/filing/wallets

To me, that is a core Joomla problem.

I agree

ALSO load the page content.

for me it loads the same page as the link in the top menu
if you use the alias type, it shall work

I have tested on Mac browsers and Windows. When you click on the top sidebar menu item labeled 'Filing' it does not load the blog listing as it does when using the same link in the top menu. Please advise.

ok I see ,I was clicking on "wallets" that is why I did not understand

go in the module options >> link target >> set it on "image only"

you will have to activate the +/- icons to open the submenu

else if you want to redirect the page and open the submenu, you don't need an accordeon menu

It took me a while to find what you were suggesting because the labels are not what you wrote. I found this setting in Effects: 'Event target element' and set it to 'Image Only' then the content is loaded (what is referred to as a 'redirect' in the label data). To me the button names are intuitively reversed. I would expect the title 'Link and Image' to perform the redirect and the title 'Image only' to not redirect. But I'm very glad it works. Now I can spend the time adding my custom styling. Thank you again for your prompt and helpful assistance.
