jQuery all list items in menu is set to active instead of just the selected one

This is the structure of my menu. I have attached the jQuery code below. The way this works is that when I click on Home Page, its parent element which is the list item has a class that is set to active.
At the moment, When I am at the Home Page, its list item has an active class. However, the list-items for Account Codes and Branches also have an active class set on it. How can I make sure that only my Home Page is affected?
Also, how can I change my jQuery code to work with this menu format where there is a new list within a list?
<ul class="sidebar-menu" id="navigation-menu">
<li><i class="far fa-square"></i><span>Home Page</span></li>
<li class="menu-header">Administrator Mode</li>
<li class="nav-item dropdown">
<i class="fas fa-fire"></i><span>Configuration</span>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li>Account Codes</li>
<li>Branches</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
var current = location.pathname;
$("#navigation-menu a").each(function () {
var $this = $(this);
if ($this.attr('href').indexOf(current) !== -1) {
console.log($this);
$this.parent().addClass('active');
console.log("matched");
}
});
});
</script>

Dropdown Layout
The most effective HTML layout pattern for dropdown menus is to alternate between <ul>/<ol> and <li>:
<ul>
<li class='dropdown'>
Dropdown
<ul class='menu' style='display:none'>
<li>Item</li>
<li class='dropdown'>
<a href='#/'>Dropdown</a>
<ul class='menu' style='display:none'>
<li>Item</li>
<li>Item</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
Also, if you want the menus to be initially closed, add the following inline style:
<ul class='menu' style='display:none'>
The <a>nchors have default behavior that is hard to override when using a framework like Bootstrap or Foundation. Try toggling the .active class on .has-dropdown children tags.
Demo

/*
Delegate click event to each .has-dropdown
Toggle .active class on that particular .has-dropdown children tags
Get next .dropdown-menu and toggle it up/down and toggle .active
*/
$('.has-dropdown').on('click', function(e) {
$(this).children().toggleClass('active');
$(this).next('.dropdown-menu').slideToggle().toggleClass('active');
});
.active {

dropdown open only one at a time

I am using this dropdown multiple times and want only one to be open (the others when i click to close):
$(".dropdown-tree-a").click(function () {
if($(this).parents().hasClass('open-tree'))
{
$(this).parent().removeClass("open-tree")
}
$(this).parent('.dropdown-tree').toggleClass("open-tree active");
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<li class="dropdown-tree">
<a class="dropdown-tree-a"> <span class="badge pull-right">42</span> WOMEN COLLECTION </a>
<ul class="category-level-2 dropdown-menu-tree">
<li> Shirt </li>
<li> Fragrances </li>
<li>Scarf </li>
<li>Sandal </li>
<li>Winter Collection </li>
<li>Men Accessories </li>
</ul>
</li>
when click on ".dropdown-tree-a" the current dropdown is opened but the others don't close (remove the class open-tree)
Can someone please tell me what i did wrong?.
Thanks in Advance

here is the most simple & easy solution
jQuery(".dropdown-tree-a").click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
jQuery(".dropdown-tree").removeClass("open-tree active");
/** FIRST REMOVE CLASSES FROM ALL ELEMENTS **/
jQuery(this).parents('.dropdown-tree').addClass("open-tree active");
/** IN NEXT STEP FIND PARENT item with class '.dropdown-tree' and then add classes 'open-tree active'. USe Css to display child items **/
});
li.dropdown-tree ul.dropdown-menu-tree{
display:none;
}
li.dropdown-tree.open-tree.active ul.dropdown-menu-tree{
display:block;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<li class="dropdown-tree">
<span class="badge pull-right">42</span> WOMEN COLLECTION
<ul class="category-level-2 dropdown-menu-tree">
<li> Shirt </li>
<li> Fragrances </li>
<li>Scarf </li>
<li>Sandal </li>
<li>Winter Collection </li>
<li>Men Accessories </li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="dropdown-tree">
<span class="badge pull-right">42</span> WOMEN COLLECTION
<ul class="category-level-2 dropdown-menu-tree">
<li> Shirt </li>
<li> Fragrances </li>
<li>Scarf </li>
<li>Sandal </li>
<li>Winter Collection </li>
<li>Men Accessories </li>
</ul>

jQuery slideToggle doubling up..?

I am working on a mobile menu for this site:
http://giamberardino.com/_beta/team.html
When I click on "Showcase" it's toggle the slide of the entire menu as well as .mbl-dropdown. I would like it to just toggle the slide of .mbl-dropdown when .mbl-showcase is clicked on.
Where am I going wrong??
<nav class="mobile_menu">
<ul id="menuItems">
<li> Home </li>
<li><a href="company.html" > Company</a> </li>
<li class="mbl-showcase">Showcase
<ul class="mbl-dropdown">
<li>General Contracting</li>
<li>CUSTOMIZED MILLWORK</li>
<li>BUILDING RESTORATION</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li> Team </li>
<li><a href="careers.html" >Careers </a></li>
<li> Contact</li>
</ul>
</nav>
$(".mobile_menu_button").bind('click', function() {
$('.mobile_menu').slideToggle();
});
$(".mbl-showcase").bind('click', function() {
$('.mbl-dropdown').slideToggle();
$('.mobile_menu').stop().slideToggle();
});

First, You have to make it clear in your mind:
you have to hide the dropdown menu NOT the whole navbar , so you need to give the .mbl-dropdown a display:none.
then you just want to make the jquery code like that :
$(".mbl-showcase").on('click', function() {
$('.mbl-dropdown').slideToggle();
});
.mbl-dropdown{
display:none;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<nav class="mobile_menu">
<ul id="menuItems">
<li> Home </li>
<li><a href="company.html" > Company</a> </li>
<li class="mbl-showcase">Showcase
<ul class="mbl-dropdown">
<li>General Contracting</li>
<li>CUSTOMIZED MILLWORK</li>
<li>BUILDING RESTORATION</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li> Team </li>
<li><a href="careers.html" >Careers </a></li>
<li> Contact</li>
</ul>
</nav>
that means if you click on the element with class .mbl-showcase wich is "Showcase" the dropdown will show if it is hidden and it will be hidden if it is shown and that what does toggle mean.
make sure you check again the toggle property http://api.jquery.com/toggle/
I hope I helped you

<nav class="mobile_menu">
<ul id="menuItems">
<li> Home </li>
<li><a href="company.html" > Company</a> </li>
<li class="mbl-showcase">Showcase
<ul class="mbl-dropdown">
<li>General Contracting</li>
<li>CUSTOMIZED MILLWORK</li>
<li>BUILDING RESTORATION</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li> Team </li>
<li><a href="careers.html" >Careers </a></li>
<li> Contact</li>
</ul>
</nav>
.mbl-showcase ul{
display:none;
}
$("#menuItems li").on('click', function() {
$(this).find(".mbl-dropdown").slideToggle()
});

Twitter Bootstrap multiple dropdowns on click - jQuery assistance

I need a little assistance in modifying the javascript that controlls bootstrap dropdowns.
What i need to happen is when you click on a dropdown, it shows. On the top level that works fine, but if i want to go into a dropdown within a drop down
Example:
<ul>
<li>Dropdown 1
<ul>
<li>Dropdown 2
<ul>
<li>List Item</li>
<li>List Item</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
When i click on dropdown 1, I can see the list item called dropdown 2 but when i click on it, it closes the whole list item again. When you click on dropdown 2 i need it to show up.
I found a hover method to open the second nested dropdown but i need it to show on click.
And help is much appreciated. Here is a fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/raDUC/1/

try this:
HTML:
<div class="navbar navbar-fixed-top span2">
<div class="navbar-inner"> <a class="btn btn-navbar" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".nav-collapse"></a> <a class="brand" href="#">Project Name</a>
<div class="nav-collapse">
<ul class="nav">
<li class="dropdown">
Dropdown 1
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li class="dropdown dropdown-nested"> Dropdown 2
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li>Living and Nonliving things</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li> Another action
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li> Link
</li>
<li> Link
</li>
<li> Link
</li>
<li class="dropdown"> Dropdown
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li> Action
</li>
<li> Another action
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<!-- /.nav-collapse -->
</div>
<!-- /.navbar-inner -->
</div>
<!-- /.navbar -->
JS:
$(function(){
$('.dropdown-nested').click(function(event){
event.stopPropagation();
var dropdown = $(this).children('.dropdown-menu');
dropdown.toggle();
});
});
Side Note...
I recommend adding the following css to your nav menus in bootstrap:
ul.nav a {
outline: none;
}
it keeps that ugly blue outline from showing up if you click on a main menu item to close it.
