Starting on a different page, If I click on Coaching, it stays on the page I was on and shows the dropdown.
Would have thought that was correct?
If I understand, you want the top item “Coaching” not to be a link.
How do you build the top menu? Is it self-built by the theme?
You could replace this COACHING page by a category named COACHING
If so, you could do this:
– create a category named “Coaching” to replace your blank page
– assign your 3 sub pages to this category
– create a menu in the admin panel
– add the pages and category you want to have in your menu (HOME, MEET JANE, category COACHING, PROGRAM AND EVENTS…)
– make this menu the top menu of your theme
rdell: I, too, thought it was correct. For a few weeks now. But just last night I must’ve clicked in the perfect way (or wrong way!) and it actually took me to the blank Coaching page. I believe I clicked, there was a drop down, then I accidentally (with the drop down showing) clicked Coaching — and that did it. While that doesn’t happen every time, I wanted to make sure it NEVER happened for a user.
Will try out a Category – thanks imagevo
I believe it worked like a charm – thanks guys!
You don’t need categories and you don’t need blank pages. This is simply WordPress menu functionality:
- Go to your WordPress dashboard and select Appearance > Menus
- Select your menu
- On the left side of the page, there are 3 dropdowns: Pages/Links/Categories. Choose Links.
- Make a link to example.com (any domain will do — we will be changing it), call it Coaching and add it to the menu.
- Open the Coaching menu-item you just created
- For the url, enter #
- For the navigation label and title, enter Coaching.
- Drag your submenus under Coaching and slightly to the right.
- Save and you’re done.
