This is sort of a "hack" fix, but it works. I see you changed fonts for the menu and apparently that is causing the issue since the demo site for your theme does not exhibit this behavior. Add this to your custom CSS:

.main-navigation ul a {
padding-bottom: 0;
padding-top: 0;
line-height: 40px;
}

I'm very new to this, and useless with CSS.
Trying to find something that will stop the 'Acts' menu from disappearing when you go to select a sub-category.
Any help would be appreciated to no end!

thesacredpath on "Error With Drop down"

This is due to the custom font you are using in the navigation and the fact that the menus use a position: absolute declaration (none of which is due to anything you have done).

Add this to your custom CSS though, and it will fix the issue.

#access ul ul {
top: 24px;
}

Hi WordPressers,
I am currently having a problem with the drop down menus of my blog.They display fine; however, when I move from the navigation bar to to click on the drop down the boxes disappear while going over some non-hyperlink boarder. Sometimes they work, but often they do not. I've been able to fix most things without going into the CSS. This might be a case where I need to change something via CSS. I am rather new to CSS so please explain to me like I am five.

The things I've tried include:

*:{
margin: 0;
margin-bottom:0px;
padding: 0;
}

Thanks for all the feedback!

Thank you justjennifer and siobhyb -- problem fixed. Only needed to add a portion of the code you provided to what we already had:

.main-navigation {
position: absolute;
top: 325px;
z-index: 9999;
}

Adding the following to your custom CSS should resolve this problem:

.main-navigation li ul {
z-index: 9999;
}

Hope that helps! :)

Using customized 2012 theme with a slide show gallery on the home page. One of the top menu items has a dropdown and it gets hidden/buried behind the gallery images. Not the background/frame, the actual images themselves. Site is dvms.ca

Any ideas?

Howdy! You're correct, this is the theme's current intended behavior. I will make a note of it and consider it for a future enhancement to Mixfolio. Thanks for bringing it to our attention!

I realize I wasn't accurate in my terminology. Apologies.
The behavior I am experiencing is that 2nd-level submenu options don't drop down in Mixfolio.
They are there when I change to other themes, so I am wondering whether this is a bug or a feature...

Thank you in advance,
Eran

Hello,
I started to build a blog in Mixfolio and after a few days I suddenly noticed that it does not seem to support grandchildren in the primary custom menu.
I seem to get them in other themes but when I activate Mixfolio, it only shows one level down.
Is that possible? a bug? It is really doing my head in.

Thanks!
Eran

The Title Attribute option is for the actual link in your navigation.
The actual title may be long but you can use a shorter slug as a tab in the custom menu.

Go here > Appearance > Menus and it will make sense to you.
It's on the top left hand side.

Thanks for replying so fast :) What does it mean by "you must select it from the pulldown in the Theme Locations module"? What is the theme locations module?

The Custom Menu feature allows you to change the order of pages, nest pages to create sub-menus, display posts on multiple pages by creating category pages, and add posts, tag pages, and custom links to your navigation menu. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/

Hello, I'm new to wordpress and I'm trying to make a dropdown menu that would have Art as the main header- when clicked two menus would drop down: "Artists" and "Artwork." It would look like this:
-Art
-Artists
-Artwork

However, when I drag the "Artists" and "Artwork" under "Art" it doesn't work; instead the two just pops up along with the intended header:
-Art -Artists -Artwork

Please help

Thankyou Macmanx and everyone else, for your informative suggestions. This problem has cleared up as mysteriously as it occurred. I think perhaps it was a Firefox glitch...in that, even though I cleared the cache and deleted all cookies, perhaps it did not do a proper job of it.

I'm not seeing the issue myself. For now, you can still access your Dashboard to edit everything via https://zekeblog.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

As for the issue, first please make sure that your browser is up to date by visiting http://www.whatbrowser.org/

If it is not, please try updating your browser or switching to a different browser.

If it is, please do these four things:

1. Try clearing your browser's cache and cookies: http://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/

2. Make sure that you have third-party cookies enabled: http://en.support.wordpress.com/third-party-cookies/

3. Try with all browser extensions or add-ons temporarily disabled.

4. Try enabling HTTPS: http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/

Please let us know how each step goes for you, and which browser (and version of) you're using if you're still having trouble.

The two different kinds of software wpMU (wordpress mutiuser) and WordPress.org software are not the same. Therefore there are different sites and different support forums. Please feel free to register a WordPress.org username account and post to the correct forum for your software.

Well if you are basically 2 different sites you shouldn't be sharing the same database and allowing non authorised users to post on this part. Seems a bit daft to me.

<blockquote>wordpress powered blog
Click that link in the footer of your blog. It's a WordPress.org install and we cannot help you here at WordPress.COM.

I am using a wordpress powered blog and I logged in with my username, how can this be the wrong place. Is this not a wordpress support forum?
Also the site is adult, I didn't think you would want me posting the link here.

NOTE: Every time you have posted to this forum you have been asked for the link to the blog in question and every time you have been asked you have not provided it. Without you posting the link so we can lay eyes on the blog in question there is no support that we can offer.

I have tried a couple of plugins already but none see to do what I want.

There is no FTP access to any free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and we bloggers cannot install plugins at all. That means you are posting to the wrong support forum. We cannot help you here. Support for your website software and any advice you need are provided on the WordPress.org support forums and they are here http://wordpress.org/support/

If you don't have a username account at WordPress.org, click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to those forums.

Hi,

I am using an Elegent theme on my blog and I want to create a drop down menu on one of the custom menu categories.

I would like to select specific posts "top 10" and sort them in any order.

Is there a plugin / combination of plugins that could do this or can someone provide some code.

I have tried a couple of plugins already but none see to do what I want.

Thanks
