 * I’m making a child theme based on the default 2014 theme. I understand that the
   drop down navigation functionality is part of the responsive design…but for the
   purposes of the site I’m building, I can’t have the drop down functionality every
   time I add child pages to the parent category.
 * Any ideas how to “kill” this functionality?

 * Not specifically. It’s just part of the general design. Lots of non-responsive
   themes have dropdown navigation menus too. Are you using a child theme? Only 
   category pages are not listed in the primary menu by default.

 * I have created a child theme, and so far the only difference between my child
   theme and the rest of the site are simple styling changes.
 * So how do I remove the drop down functionality?

 * By creating pages and placing them in the parent of the main navigational section.

 * So these aren’t category pages but pages of posts, yes? Again, can we see this
   site?

 * These are pages, that a child-pages of parent pages. I can’t show the site because
   of security purposes.
