Select only dropdown menu pages
  • Is it possible to just select the dropdown menus i.e. if the user click the main text in the menu nothing should be shown? (iblog5)
  • You can go to Appearance -> Menus and create a custom menu item. Once you do, edit it to have the url be blank and then drag your subpages beneath it.
  • Thanks, I have a main menu with child menues. If I click the main menu I want the first child menmu in the list to show up in the content area. Is it possible to have a tab-function for the child menues instead of just text?
  • Maybe a Reader page suits your needs? Demo

  • ok, (I dont understand what you suggesting) normally I don't like to use dropdown menues so if there where some other solution to solved that i.e use secondary navigation or tab system and it is tricky to navigate in cell phones.
  • If you don't like drop down navigation, try using a series of secondary navigation menus and applying them to your pages individually.

    Let's say you have a menu like this:
    HOME | RECIPES | COURSES
    Then under Courses (that page) you have
    BREAD | APPETIZER | SOUP | SALAD | MEAT | FISH | PASTA | DESSERT | SNACKS
    Under Breads (that page) you have
    QUICK BREADS | WHITE | RYE | WHOLE GRAIN | CRUSTY
    Then under Rye (that page) you have:
    CRUSTY | SOFT | SEEDLESS | DARK | PUMPERNICKEL
    and when someone gets to the Crusty page, they find a list of posts with the recipes for crusty rye breads.

    It means lots of navigation for your visitors but they can always search for a specific recipe and each page they browse counts as a page view (or ad view if using ads).

  • That is the problem with that layout.
  • What exactly is the problem with that layout? Are you still having issues with the dropdown menu?

    This answer was Accepted.
    Would it be possible for you to post a screenshot that shows what happens to the dropdown menu when you view on a mobile browser?
