Title: Drop Down Menu Help Please Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Drop Down Menu Help Please * [hennonb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hennonb/) * (@hennonb) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/drop-down-menu-help-please/) * My drop down menus ceased working properly today. I am an extreme novice when it comes to wordpress, but any help would greatly be appreciated. * At first the dropdown menus didn’t work at all. Now they drop down but will not fade as I move down the Menu Items. Additionally, the sub-menus do not work either. * My URL is [http://www.knowtherefuge.com](http://www.knowtherefuge.com) and again, any help is appreciated. * Thank you.

Until then, you can try to fix the issue by adding the following to functions.php * ``` function wp_fix_jquery_in_31( $version = '3.1'){ global $wp_version; if ( ! version_compare( $wp_version, $version, '==' ) ) { return false; } else { // Deregister jQuery wp_deregister_script( 'jquery' ); // Reregister jQuery wp_register_script( 'jquery', 'http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js' ); // Enqueue jQuery wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' ); } } ``` * Thread Starter [hennonb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hennonb/) * (@hennonb) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/drop-down-menu-help-please/#post-4118134) * Thank you! * Thread Starter [hennonb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hennonb/) * (@hennonb) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/drop-down-menu-help-please/#post-4118139) * Do I add that code anywhere on functions.php? * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/drop-down-menu-help-please/#post-4118140) * No – upgrade to WordPress 3.6.1 * Thread Starter [hennonb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hennonb/) * (@hennonb) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/drop-down-menu-help-please/#post-4118143) * I don’t see 3.6.1 available. * [pixelnate](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pixelnate/) * (@pixelnate) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/drop-down-menu-help-please/#post-4118145) * I thought WordPress 3.6 was supposed to fix this. We got hit on a major site of ours and what I ended up doing was create a separate nav bar out of each of the main nav links. So it went from something like this: *
link 1 -link 1.1 –link 1.1.1 –link 1.1.2 -link 1.2 link 2 -link 2.1 -link2.2
* To something like this: *
link 1 -link 1.1 –link 1.1.1 –link 1.1.2 -link 1.2 * link 2 -link 2.1 -link2.2
* It’s not perfect, but it was the only way to get around what we found was a limit to the number of items that would sit reliably in a navbar. I think we were hitting a limit of 35 or so items in a navbar before it would stop allowing more links. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/drop-down-menu-help-please/#post-4118147) * > I don’t see 3.6.1 available. * Navigate to Dashboard -> Updates in your site. * Moderator [Jan Dembowski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdembowski/) * (@jdembowski) * Forum Moderator and Brute Squad * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/drop-down-menu-help-please/#post-4118148) * > I don’t see 3.6.1 available. * See [http://wordpress.org/news/2013/09/wordpress-3-6-1/](http://wordpress.org/news/2013/09/wordpress-3-6-1/) * Thread Starter [hennonb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hennonb/) * (@hennonb) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/drop-down-menu-help-please/#post-4118149) * Got it.

This is just the start of basic troubleshooting and is a process of elimination deliberately designed to locate the root cause as quickly as possible by first removing the most obvious and common culprits via a series of (often) temporary steps. * Your theme & plugin settings are saved in your database and should be retained for future use. * Thread Starter [hennonb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hennonb/) * (@hennonb) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/drop-down-menu-help-please/#post-4118162) * I deactivated a plug in called NextGEN Gallery by Photocrati and the menu stopped working altogether along with my front page slider. I’m assuming this is the culprit. Once I reactivated the plugin, the menu worked like it was before (dropping down, but not disappearing when I moused over a different menu area. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/drop-down-menu-help-please/#post-4118166) * > I deactivated a plug in called NextGEN Gallery by Photocrati and the menu stopped > working altogether * Using the Twenty Thirteen theme? * Thread Starter [hennonb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hennonb/) * (@hennonb) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/drop-down-menu-help-please/#post-4118168) * I activated the Twenty Thirteen Theme and all my drop down menu items were no longer drop downs. They were all listed at the bottom of the page. So I couldn’t tell if the problem continued.
