# Plugin stops Dashboard Navigation dropdowns

 * After activating this plugin, my Dashboard Navigation dropdowns stopped expanding
   while I hover over them. Clicking Dashboard “Settings” (for example) will expand
   the menu like a hover *should* do, but then the Dashboard goes to “Settings”,
   of course, rather than allowing me to select from the dropdown. Deactivating 
   this plugin resolved that hover dysfunction.
 * Also, I think it would be better to have this plugin’s Settings available from
   a link on its Statistics page rather than having one of its links at Dashboard
   Tools and another at Dashboard Settings.

 * I cannot reproduce this problem. Everything works fine on my test-installations.
   Maybere there’s a conflict with another plugin you are using. Please deactivate
   all your plugins except link-log and reactivate them one by one. If you are able
   to find out which combination causes the problem, I’ll try to fix it.

 * The problem still remains after deactivating all plugins, updating to WP 4.0 
   and switching to the default 2014 theme…and along the way, I have noticed this
   plugin also disables the “Select All” button on the Plugins page. If you would
   like to have a look for yourself and possibly do some troubleshooting at my sandbox
   site (at your own convenience) — nothing pressing here — just let me know where
   to send some credentials.

 * Honestly, I don’t understand that. I also use WP 4.0 and the 2014 theme on my
   testing site. And I tested with Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer. Works 
   fine. No idea…
 * Yes, please send me credentials via [http://smartware.cc/contact](http://smartware.cc/contact).
   Can’t await to see this!

 * It is possible there is something wrong in my database, and yesterday I discovered
   this:

 * The file you sent works just as you said it should, and I thank you!
 * I am presently in the process of moving my site into a new installation of WordPress,
   and I suspect my doing that will help confirm the suspicion that my current database
   is/was the problem…
 * …and now off to do some link-logging!
