Filter stops working after enabling HTML5

[Walter]

Hello,

I'm using the following code to add the "current" class to all current items, parents and ancestors.

add_filter('nav_menu_css_class' , 'special_nav_class' , 10 , 2);
function special_nav_class($classes, $item){
if(( in_array('current-menu-item', $classes) ) ||
( in_array('current-menu-parent', $classes) ) ||
( in_array('current-menu-ancestor', $classes) ) ||
( in_array('current-page-item', $classes) ) ||
( in_array('current-page-parent', $classes) ) ||
( in_array('current-page-ancestor', $classes) ) ||
( in_array('current-post-item', $classes) ) ||
( in_array('current-post-parent', $classes) ) ||
( in_array('current-post-ancestor', $classes)
))
{
$classes[] = 'current ';
}
return $classes;
}

However, with add_theme_support( 'html5' ); this code stops working.

Anybody has a solution for this?

Sorry, it's my fault.

Why would you do this? current is a very generic class - it gives no indication of what it should be for, and if it's used for something else, then you're going to have problems. The current-* nav classes are necessarily descriptive.

.menu-item[class*="current"] {
    ...
}

might work.
