# Responsive Theme Doesn't Support Menus

 * Am I correct?
    When I log in to back office, I go to Appearance, then Menus. 
   Then I create a new Main Menu (no problem). Now I want to add a page to the menu
   so I tick its box on the left hand side from the list of pages. When I click ‘
   Add to Menu’ button, nothing happens! The circle keeps going round and round 
   and round. What am I doing wrong? I’ve tried this using Google Chrome and Firefox(
   latest versions). Same thing happens.

 * No. The Responsive theme fully supports custom menus. Have you tried:
 * – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause
   problems.
 * – re-uploading all files & folders – **except** the wp-content folder – from 
   a **fresh** download of WordPress.

 * Responsive Theme does support menus 🙂
 * and not just one, there’s four different positions please see the demo [http://themeid.com/demo/responsive](http://themeid.com/demo/responsive)
 * There is:
    - Top Menu
    - Primary (main menu)
    - Submenu (just after the main one)
    - Footer Menu
 * what you are experiencing is most likely browser issue or even the server isn’t
   loading properly and of course first try what [@esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/)
   suggested above.
 * If you have any questions, we’re inviting you to our [support forum](http://themeid.com/forum)
   to get the load off WPORG 🙂
 * P.S. Please don’t forget to close as resolved, once you got it working.
 * Thanks for using Responsive,
    Emil

 * Hello Emil, Esmi,
    Thanks for your replies. I have tried various different ways
   to get the menu to work in the way I expected, but I couldn’t solve the issue
   so I have rolled back to my previous code. In ‘Responsive Theme Options > Custom
   CSS Styles’ I have the following code:
 * .menu {margin-top: 90px; background: url([http://www.jollyjosephs.co.uk/bluebutt.jpg](http://www.jollyjosephs.co.uk/bluebutt.jpg))
   repeat-x top left;}
 * .menu a {height: 28px; border: none; line-height: 28px;}
 * .menu .current_page_item a {background: url([http://www.jollyjosephs.co.uk/ojbutt.jpg](http://www.jollyjosephs.co.uk/ojbutt.jpg))
   repeat-x top left;}
 * Ideally, I would like the menu to span the full width of the page (like the header
   image above it which I have set as a custom body section background) but I don’t
   know how to do this. I don’t fully understand how I have a menu at all when there
   aren’t any set up in Appearance > Menus but as I am unlikely to need a page that
   doesn’t automatically appear in the menu bar I am happy with that.

 * Hi,
 * All right, so this is different from the topic title correct? [Custom menu](http://codex.wordpress.org/Appearance_Menus_Screen#Create_a_Menu)
   is something different in WordPress, maybe that created confusion.
 * Anyways, you would like to customize the menu, by moving it toward the top and
   make that to be full width.
 * It would be much easier if we close this topic as resolved and move to [http://themeid.com/forum](http://themeid.com/forum)
   if that’s all right.
 * What you basically need here is to apply absolute position and add some margins
   to it like:
 *     ```
       .menu {
           position:absolute;
           margin-top:50px;
       }
       ```
   
 * or even better, [http://i.imgur.com/LtHIJ.png](http://i.imgur.com/LtHIJ.png) 
   simply expand your current menu, add similar gradient to look like your menu 
   and voila, problem solved in few minutes 🙂
 * Thanks,
    Emil

 * I am having trouble with menus in a Responsive theme for Buddypress. All the 
   4 locations for menus seem to respond to the first location. I set the top menu
   to “register.” saved it etc. and then I went onto the header menu. When I changed
   that it changed the top menu as well.
 * What am I doing wrong?
