I’m very sorry but the styling of the menu is down to your theme (or possibly some other menu-based plugin, but the theme is most likely).
From what I can see I’m guessing that your FitnessCenter theme – which appears to be Bootstrap-based – has implemented a Nav Menu Walker that is preventing CMW’s walker from running (none of CMW’s classes have been applied) … this means that it is unlikely that CMW is filtering correctly, if at all.
Apart from that, your theme has some CSS styling in place that sets very high z-index values on the menu items – higher than the bootstrap CSS. If I remove that high z-index then the sub-menu appears above the root-level items.
However, your theme also sets display as inline-block on the sub menu items, which doesn’t help the layout of the sub-menu items (short items appear beside each other in varying size blocks), and a max-width on the ULs, combined with bootstrap’s no-wrap, means that long items overflow their container. Added to which the text colour (bootstrap’s) of the sub menu items means the text is almost invisible against the background (your theme’s) until you actually hover on the item’s link.
I appreciate that you may not find this particularly helpful, but there’s not a lot I can do about it. If you can’t sort the CSS out yourself (preferably using a child theme, if you’re not already), perhaps you need to consult the theme providers? I’m very sorry, but even if CMW was allowed to run properly, it still doesn’t provide any styling or javascript … for precisely this reason. And, given that CMW is being scuppered, it might be better to just remove it … maybe your theme provides a suitable alternative?
Thank you so much for the above info. It really does help.
Do you have any suggestions for me? The theme makers are not being any help… and I really would love to get this menu working!!!
I know it is not really your job to help me…. but these menu’s are driving me crazy!!! Any help you can offer would be much appreciated…
P.S. your product seems to be solid; I wish I could use it! 🙂

I’m sorry. Fitness Center is a paid-for theme so I can’t just download it a take a look. And even if I could, I’m not in a position to be able to do anything about changing it.
To tweak a theme you really need to be running a child theme, otherwise any changes you make to the main theme are lost whenever that theme gets an update, and you have to re-apply them. That would be the first thing to ask your theme provider : How do I run a child theme?
Once you a running a child of Fitness Center then you can start playing with the CSS – using any decent modern browser’s Developer capabilities. Also, you might then be able to do something about the nav walker that is getting in CMW’s way, but that very much depends on how it is implemented and where/if it is used.
