Adding drop-down nav menu functionality?

Support Themes & Styling
1

This seems to be an issue that has been brought up several times, with zero resolution. At least, everything I’ve found searching for it has not once been resolved.

Trying to implement drop-down menu functionality in the navigation menu, on a theme that did not have such set up initially (in my case, CeeVee). The child menu items do show up, but instead of it being a drop-down, it just stacks the menu, putting the item that has the child page on its own separate line with no actual “drop-down” element.

I’ve looked through the help files, but can’t find anything. Apparently there HAD been a cookbook page on the topic, but it appears to no longer exist.

Any help? Please?

If you want to implement a feature that your theme doesn’t have, the first thing you should do is program and test it in a child theme. You’ll need to implement the programming logic yourself if the theme developer hasn’t already done so.

Of course, you’ll have to implement it in the templates that handle navigation (usually navigation and/or macros) and as an option that can be enabled or disabled in the theme settings.

You can take a look at the Editorial or Future2021 themes, which initially didn’t have this option.
