 * Hi Guys
 * I’m think I’m still having some basic problems I’ve not come across before, and
   would value some assistance please.
 * I’m building the site above, and am having a problem with the menu. Where I have
   sub menu’s, I don’t want the menu top line text to refer to a page, just the 
   sub menu items. However I don’t seem to be able to get it to operate correctly–
   how do I create a situation where (when there is a sub menu) the main menu text
   doesn’t try to link to a page, which it appears to do at present?
    Also, sometimes
   when I try to drop down from the main menu to the sub menu, the sub menu list
   disappears.
 * I expect I’ve missed something basic, but all advice would be welcome.
 * I’m using GeneratePress Premium with Elementor.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fnewbie-basic-problem-with-menu%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * if you use a custom menu and give it a null link #, it will not go anywhere as
   it doesn’t link to anything. It’ll just remain on the same page it already is
   on.

 * Thanks for that judge rookie, it appears to have stopped it linking to a page,
   magic!
 * However, I still have the problem that when I try to drop down to the submenu,
   the submenu disappears – any ideas why please?

 * this may help, it will delay the sub-menu long enough to remain when moving the
   cursor down [https://codepen.io/anon/pen/aBPBbj](https://codepen.io/anon/pen/aBPBbj)
