Dropdown Menus Not Working

Recommended Posts

icona

Fresh install of latest PageLinesPro and have menus set up properly - nested and all and have the dropdown option turned on in the theme settings. I have NO plugins activated anyhow, as this was a base install of the whole system. I am however using the newest version of PageLinesPro as of May 16th and WP 3.1.2. Help! On a serious deadline. http://d391554.u64.wclds16.com Thanks, Mike

What do you mean here exactly, in more detail? Did you set the "Parent" attribute on all of your pages?

Yes - I meant that using the Appearance > Menus settings in WP, I've set up a custom menu, assigned all my pages to it, and moved the required ones to the right one position to make them the sub pages and then I've also assigned the pages themselves to the Parent page under the Page Attributes section. I've setup a ton of WordPress sites before and have read all of the other threads on this matter, so it's not a matter of any settings I don't have checked or anything, as I've gone over this for 2 days now. Any help or suggestions are appreciated. Kinda panicked to get this up and running here since it's such a key aspect. Thanks, Mike

Hmm chrome's js inspector is showing an error loading the superfish dropdown on your site.. not sure what would cause that. Have you tried uploading all theme files again?

In the Template setup page, do you have 'Navigation' enabled under 'site header'?

If you mean the "enable dropdown nav" checkbox in the Header and Nav section in the PlatformPro Settings section then yes, it's enabled. Want access to the admin area? Thanks guys.

No i mean in the template section, where you drag and drop different sections to enable them

Sorry - Yes, I have the Navigation block enabled in the Site Header Template Section, it's right under the Branding block - both were there by default with the theme setup. If I open the Advanced Setup options though there's nothing there I can click on to further enable it though it seems. M

Any clue anyone on maybe what the issue is with the Superfish file? And, does it matter whether I have the 'order' set to 0 for all my pages or do I *have* to have those unique for every page? Still trying to resolve this.

Chrome's js inspector is showing an error and Firefox is showing a slightly different js error (jQuery("ul.sf-menu").superfish is not a function). Basically supefish.js is not being called. You should have a line in your footer that looks like this:

<script type='text/javascript' src='http://yoursite.com/wp-content/themes/platformpro/sections/nav/superfish.js?ver=1.0'></script>

Have you tried reuploading this file via FTP?

Hi Michael, Is any of it working? I seem to have a similar problem where the first two submenu's appear, but I cannot get a third level to appear, perhaps it's just a problem in Alberta? Bill

Michael, if you don't mind, you could send me a username and password and I could login to your site and try to see what the problem is.

SUCCESS!! Jimmy: The missing javascript call was the issue! Works like a charm now and I checked the original downloaded file I got from PageLines and that code was not in there. Might be an issue for others as well? Bill: In my case I had no dropdowns at all - and yeah, maybe's it's an AB oddness. :) Thanks to everyone for helping out on this, I really do appreciate it. Not on to some other issues. :) Happy Friday.

Congrats Michael, My issue must be slightly different as I am getting 3 layers down, but that is it. I found reference in another post about changing how many levels you can go down down in the sub nav, but they refer to modifying a php file I don't seem to have (section.nav.php). Jimmy, yes i tried disabling all the plugins and no luck there either. Bill

Hey Bill, run Firebug and see if you're getting a JS error. Also, in the future please start a new thread, referencing this one.. Its a cleaner way to do things :)

Hi Andrew, would it be easier to just start a new string now? FYI, I ran Firebug and it comes back with "No Javascript on this page". I am new to Firebug, so I could be doing something wrong. Bill
