 * Hiya,
 * I am using the IAmSocial theme and I would like to change the behaviour of the
   menues. When i click on the menu the dropdown appears, however when i move my
   mouse off the dropdown (without clicking a sub menu) the dropdown remains. I 
   would like it to disappear. I have looked at W3 for the css but I can’t seem 
   to find anything similar in my style.css. I sorry I can’t post a link as the 
   site is being built with a .local address.
 * Thank you in advance,
 * Nige.

 * Try deactivating all your plugins to explore whether any could be responsible.
   If none are, it’s probably an issue with your theme – which theme is that?

 * Hiya,
 * Thanks, the theme is:
    [https://en-gb.wordpress.org/themes/iamsocial/](https://en-gb.wordpress.org/themes/iamsocial/)
 * I will take a look at the plugins.

 * Having dropdowns disappear on hover is generally considered poor UX and harmful
   to accessibility these days. I’d consider not changing this behaviour as it was
   likely intentional with this in mind. Have a read of these for more information:

 * It may be best to post on your theme’s support section: [https://wordpress.org/support/theme/iamsocial#new-post](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/iamsocial#new-post)
 * As it sounds like this will require knowledge of the theme.
