dropdown moves page content

[petegarnish 0]

Hi, I'm building my second site with platform pro and the dropdown seems to work differently to the site I built a couple of weeks ago. The dropdaown width is adusting to the length of the word in the submenu and also 'pushing' the feature box down to display the submenu. here's an example: www.crossfitstkilda.com (menu displays how I want) www.winneypsychology.com.au (menu moves content down) Any clues on this? I don't recall doing anything on the first site to change this - it just worked correctly.

Woh, never saw that before. What kind of customization did you make? Thanks, Bryan

[petegarnish 0]

none, Thanks Bryan, I thought it was a little strange too

[bryan-hadaway 3]

Okay, using any plugins? If so can you try disabling them? Thanks, Bryan

Hi Bryan, Thanks for your help. The only plugins I was using were Post Types Order and Fast Secure Contact Form, I've disabled them both but there's no difference.. I've also reset platform pro using the restore settings to default, but that didn't change anything either.

You said you never made any customizations. Are you positive there was never any custom CSS added, maybe by someone else that may be working on the site? Other than that there may be a jQuery problem. In that case I'll go ahead and alert the developers to this topic. Thanks, Bryan

No custom CSS has been added and no-one else is working on the site. The only thing I have changed is in the footer.php to put my logo and link in - but this is exactly the same footer.php as the other site. Only difference I can think of is this site is using WP 3.1 and the other one was 3.0.x Not sure if this is relevant, my hosting company blocked my IP a few times this week because of a Jquery security issue - I had to ring them a few times and get them to remove the block. Specifically they said: The IP block has been removed. We have also whitelisted the security rule that was responsible for the block. This shouldn't happen again. This is the log from the first block: 'lfd: 15 (mod_security) rule triggers from 124.189.130.xx (AU/Australia/CPE-124-189-130-xx.cyzn1.lon.bigpond.net.au) in the last 180 secs' - Fri Mar 4 12:53:18 2011 It was due the use of jQuery which triggered mod security. Strange as I have been using WP and PPro for a few weeks now but this only started a few days ago.

If I add custom css to the box in platform pro settings and then delete it does it stick around?

Okay, so I've completely removed the wordpress installation and done a new install (3.0.3) installed PPro and added some pages. The dropdown is still playing up. Very frustrationg

I'm having the same issue. Been having with the new platform. Anyway to fix this? The site trying to do is: http://www.quantitativeathletics.com All of my other sites now have been having the same issue, and the client would like to have a drop down. Thanks, Adam B

Okay, this may be a bug. Reporting the issue to developers now... Thanks, Bryan

Looking at your site through Chrome Inspect, I can see that Cufon replacement is causing at least some of your issues.

I'm not sure about Pete, but I used custom fonts from the new platform. (the google fonts)

It happens without cufon

It's likely a CSS tweak that needs to be repaired, but it's impossible to fix if you can't activate the drop downs for us to take a look.

If I were to activate the drop down, that would help? It's working now on my site if Peter would post his as well or just copy what is going on with my site too. http://www.quantitativeathletics.com

Thanks everyone, Dropdown activated. I find it difficult to believe that cufon is to blame, as I mentioned earlier I did a clean install with no plugins, no fonts activated, no customisation and just added a few pages - the problem was still there. I've since rebuilt the site without dropdowns to show the client. I've switched them on for now so you can see the problem. www.winneypsychology.com.au

[catrina 103]

Are you going to keep the site the way it is (without dropdowns) or are you going to switch them on for the client?

[petegarnish 0]

I'd like to have them available for the client - if I can sort out why they are not working, otherwise I'll go without.

[bryan-hadaway 3]

Marking for further developer review... Thanks, Bryan

Not sure why anything has to be added to fix this in the first place, but add this CSS: `ul.children {position:absolute;}` If it doesn't work you could even just add `ul.children {position:absolute!important;}`
