## Description

#### Add missing classes

Adds missing classes for selected menu states. Classes added include:

 * `current-page-parent` and `current_page_parent`
 * `current-page-ancestor` and `current_page_ancestor`
 * `current-menu-ancestor`
 * `current-menu-parent`

The classes are added in the following scenarios:

 * **When viewing an attachment page** classes are added to any parent pages and
   their menu ancestors.
 * **When viewing a post** classes are added to any relevant taxonomy menu items
   and their manu ancestors.

certain pages of your site. You need to add classes to the menu items for this to
work.

   page.
 * `ecms-single-{$post_type}` – Select menu item when viewing a single post type
   page.
 * `ecms-taxonomy-{$taxonomy}` – Select menu item when viewing a taxonomy archive.
 * `ecms-taxonomy-{$taxonomy}-term-{$term}` – Select menu item when viewing a taxonomy
   term archive.
 * `ecms-404` – Select menu item when viewing a 404 page.
 * `ecms-no-archive-{$post_type}` – Deselect menu item when viewing a post type 
   archive page.
 * `ecms-no-single-{$post_type}` – Deselect menu item when viewing a single post
   type page.
 * `ecms-no-taxonomy-{$taxonomy}` – Deselect menu item when viewing a taxonomy archive.
