# Make dropdown menu parent active?

 * Hi,
 * Is it possible to make the dropdown menu parent active while on one of the child
   pages in the menu?
 * I’ve tried quite a lot of stuff (changing classes, adding classes, etc.) but 
   had no luck. Has anyone managed to get this to work?
 * Taken from the bootstrap guide to illustrate what I mean:
 *     ```
       <li class="dropdown">
        <a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" role="button" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">Dropdown <span class="caret"></span></a>
         <ul class="dropdown-menu">
        <li><a href="#">Action</a></li>
       <li><a href="#">Another action</a></li>
       <li><a href="#">Something else here</a></li>
       </ul>
       </li>
       ```
   
 * I want the ‘Dropdown’ menu item to be active while for example, on the Action
   page.
 * Thanks

 * Yes, you can.
    Referer from my site. [http://wimutti.org/](http://wimutti.org/)
 * From admin > menus
    Add custom links URL as # and custom link text Add any link(
   categories, posts, pages, anything) and drag it to be sub-menu. That’s it.
 * Make sure that you disable other plugins that may conflict with Bootstrap css/
   js.
