child pages show by default in dropdown menu when viewed on small and medium devices

Hi,

When I create child pages and view them in tablet and smartphone mode, the child pages show by default in the dropdown menu list. This is a problem because my website has many child pages under each main heading. I have attached a jpg of the problem and another jpg of how the page menu looks in desktop size. In both jpg pictures, the "Sample Page" is the main heading page and the "Sample Submenu Page" is the child page.

Thanks,

Soulette

 

Hello,

It is not an issue, Theme is implemented in such a way it shows drop down menu in media devices.

 

Hi,

I do not agree that there is not a problem. A normal dropdown menu in both media devices and on desktops will show only the parent pages and then if you want to view the child pages within a parent page you have to click on the parent page.

The problem with the dropdown menu showing in media devices is that I have over 40 pages on my website. What will happen with the current setup of the menu is that all 40 plus pages will show up on the media device at once. This IS a problem.

How can I change the css code to make sure that only the parent pages show up on the media devices and that someone would have to click on the parent page to see the child pages?

Thanks.

 

Hi,

I just wanted to add that when you say: "It is not an issue, Theme is implemented in such a way it shows drop down menu in media devices." that may be okay for people with only about 4 to 6 pages on their website. But once you have 40 to 100 pages then having the dropdown menu show the child pages by default on media devices makes the website appear like a giant scrollable list - not user friendly.

 

Hello,

If the user has multiples menus then, Paste this code in Custom CSS
Appearance > Theme Option > Styling Option > Custom CSS

Code:

#mobile_menu{
overflow-y:scroll;
height:200px;
}

This will solve your issue.

 

Hi,

Thank you for responding. This did not solve the problem. The long list of parent and child pages are still showing by default.

What the code you provided did was add a scroll bar to the list.

This does not solve the problem.

The problem is that the child pages should not be visible by default in any size screen. Child pages should only become visible when you click on a parent page. Please solve this problem as I have many child pages under my parent pages.

No child page should be visible unless you click on the parent page that it is under. No grand child pages should be visible unless you click on the child page that it is under. Anything shore of this does not fix the problem.

Hello,

Unfortunately there isn't a way to do that with our theme unless you custom code something up. Sorry.

 

Hi,

This theme is completely useless to me.

I CANNOT USE IT BECAUSE OF THE MENU PROBLEMS ESPECIALLY.

The menu does not work for a website with more than 40 pages. I can't add my own header to the website because the header area is coded fixed int two segments that I am not able to make into one broad segment. The problems go on and on. PLEASE describe your theme's limitations when you sell them. That way I can exercise my right to BUYER BEWARE. Can I get a refund for this theme?

Thank you.

 

Hello,

You are asking query for an external feature. A feature which is not in the theme.
And it is not possible for us to make changes in the theme according to each member requirement until it is necessary.

We have noted your suggestion and will try to make it possible in our future version update.

Thanks & Regards

Thank you Nitesh.

This menu issue was a real stresser for me and has sent me scrambling to find a suitable wordpress theme. Sorry for the visual frustration in my previous post (some words in all caps).

I will likely use another theme for now as this theme does not suit my needs. I was initially drawn to the appointment plugin that comes with the the theme. I did not realize from looking at the trial version that when the theme is in tablet and smartphone mode, the child pages show by default in the drop-down menu list. This one issue is something I am not willing to compromise on in a website. A good menu display is key to a professional website.

Looking forward to the updated theme with a better menu system.

Thanks,
