# When Activated Menu Doesn’t Work

 * I’m wondering if there is a fix to this.
    I’m using the popup plugin to create
   popup windows on pages, however even though these work 100% – when the plugin
   is activated, my menu buttons then pop up to a blank window and nothing is shown.
   When I disable the plugin – menu works fine but then of course the popup shortcodes
   on my pages aren’t displayed. Any fix to this?

 * Please provide a link to a page on your site where I can see the issue.

 * Check whether the menu or menu items have the class ‘popup’ as this is likely
   to cause the symptom described.

 * Hey cubecolour.
    Thanks for the reply.
 * I’d need to give you access to have a look.
 * I’ve had a look and there is no class ‘popup’
 * It seems that if I put the category as a parent in the menu it does not happen
   and the link directs as normal.
    It’s only when it’s under a parent category (
   drop down menu) that when clicking on it, it will try open in a popup and gives
   me ‘about:blank’
 * When disabling the plugin – they open normally.
 * I’ve also tried custom link with the URL instead of choosing the category to 
   place in the menu.
 * Anything else I should try?

 * The only possible cause for this issue I am aware of would be a class name collision.
 * Do a ‘view source’ of your page and search for the word ‘popup’
 * I only provide free support where all communication takes place here on the forum,
   and it is not permitted on these forums to offer or request login access to sites.
 * If you post the URL of the site here on the forum I will have a look at it.

 * Trying few different things with the Appearance>Menu but can’t figure it out.
   
   Not sure what’s relating to the issue or even if it’s the plugin that is affecting
   it. hope you can see if something is obvious. Cheers

 * There is a ‘popup’ class on the divs containing the submenus
 * eg:
 *     ```
       <li id="nav-menu-item-44480" class="menu-item menu-item-type-taxonomy menu-item-object-product_cat menu-item-has-children has-sub narrow"><a href="https://www.zasel.com.au/product-category/womens/" class="">Womens</a>
       <div class="popup"><div class="inner" style=""><ul class="sub-menu">
       	<li id="nav-menu-item-64648" class="menu-item menu-item-type-taxonomy menu-item-object-product_cat" data-cols="1"><a href="https://www.zasel.com.au/product-category/womens/womens-accessories/" class="">Accessories</a></li>
       	<li id="nav-menu-item-64647" class="menu-item menu-item-type-taxonomy menu-item-object-product_cat" data-cols="1"><a href="https://www.zasel.com.au/product-category/womens/shoes-womens/" class="">Shoes</a></li>
       </ul></div></div>
       </li>
       ```
