 * Hi,
    please help if You can. : ) I would like to use the menu widget with subcategories
   are automatically droped down when I click their own main category. Theoratically
   the main category title will be the plus sign but should stay his own link too.
   So when I click on main category his on linked page loads and also drops down
   his subcategories.
 * Is there any way to achieve that?
 * Thanks in advanced!
 * Best regards,
 * Gyurci

 * Hello, what you want is not possible because otherwise the parents links can 
   not be clickable and the majority of users prefer a plus icon in order to click
   on all the links.

 * Hi,
    thanks, I can understand that.
 * Maybe another possible solution:
    If I can define the main menu initial state
   droped down or not per page then when I click the main menu title link, it loads
   his page and that page there is a menu initial state which is the droped down
   subcategories.
 * Is it theoretically workable?

 * Hello, I just checked, it is possible to do what you ask, if I understood correctly,
   you want to open your sub menus by clicking on the parent link, is not it?
    If
   so, you simply need to create a custom links menu item and enter the url “#”.
   Tell me if it’s ok for you 🙂

 * Hi,
    yes, it works with hashtag, but I need to load the main menu link too. So
   if I put a real link in it, then the menu works as earlier. Sad news. : (

 * Hi,
    I can show You a working example: [http://www.lira.hu/hu/konyv/szepirodalom/](http://www.lira.hu/hu/konyv/szepirodalom/)
   When You click on a left main menu which has submenus then the new page loads
   and the submenus are opened.

 * Ah okay, I misunderstood, sorry but this is not at all possible to do this with
   a menu, I think these are the categories.
    I use the function menu of wordpress
   and it does not allow such a thing. Sorry.
