# Sela theme: dropdown menu not working on mobile version

 * I recently ported my blog (lapegatineria.com) to wordpress. I’m using the Sela
   theme and I’m having trouble with the mobile version, as the dropdown menu doesn’t
   show up when clicking the hamburger icon.
 * I’m fairly new to wordpress and I can’t seem to find where my mistake is, any
   help would be appreciated, thanks

 * You can add this javascript code to your theme.
 * jQuery(‘.menu-toggle’).click(function(){
    jQuery(this).next().children().slideToggle();});
 * Basically, whenever the .menu-toggle clicked, it will toggle theme next element/
   list menu.
    If you don’t know where to put the code, try using this plugin [https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-js/screenshots/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-js/screenshots/)

 * Hi lapega – to troubleshoot why the mobile menu isn’t responding as expected,
   let’s look at a few things:
 * 1. Have you made any edits to the theme files? If so, first make backup copy 
   of your edited theme, and then install a fresh, untouched copy of Sela. Does 
   the mobile menu work?
 * Theme files should never be edited directly, as you’ll lose all your changes 
   every time the theme files are updated. If you’ve only made CSS changes, since
   you’re already using Jetpack, an easy way to add custom CSS is to activate the
   [Custom CSS](http://jetpack.me/support/custom-css/) module. You’ll then add your
   custom CSS in the new stylesheet editor that’ll appear in your dashboard, under
   Appearance > Edit CSS. If you need to modify files beyond just CSS, then you’ll
   need to make a child theme:
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   
   [https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2016/01/create-customize-wordpress-child-theme/](https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2016/01/create-customize-wordpress-child-theme/)
 * Once your child theme is set up, add back your changes a bit at a time, testing
   the menu in between each change, to figure out which change conflicts with your
   menu.
 * 2. If you are sure you didn’t edit any theme files, reinstall a fresh copy of
   the theme to make sure nothing got corrupted in the original download. Does the
   mobile menu work?
 * 3. If the above doesn’t help, you could have a plugin conflict. Try temporarily
   deactivating all your plugins. Does the mobile menu work? If the problem is gone,
   reactivate your plugins one-by-one, look at the site in between each reactivation,
   to find the conflict.
 * Let me know how it goes.

 * andrewianlamb – if you still need help with this, could you please start a new
   thread and confirm that you’ve gone through each of the troubleshooting steps
   I mentioned above.
 * If you also can provide a link to your site I’ll see if I can spot any clues.
