Some themes display dropdowns to child pages in their regular top menu and some don't - see here:

But all themes with a top menu can display dropdowns if you create and activate a custom menu - see here:

Thank you, your site looks very good. I was hoping to create a dropdown box from the parent to the child but it seems that most templates are incapable of this, i will try to technique you have used, it may work for the site I am creating. I am using Blix template and it is supposed to have the custom design features but just not working...thank you

I also have this problem and upon further reading, I find that some tempates have this capability and others do not. The template I am using is Vigilance, not sure which you use. To get around this, I have had to add the child links to my Links folder and display them on the widget. They are seen as a general link but open up the appropriate child page. Not clean but works for what I am doing....see here: http://vashoncenterforthearts.org/ .

I created a parent page and created 3 child pages assigned to that parent page. The child pages are visible when I click on pages from the sidebar however they do not show up when I click on/hover over the parent page they are assigned to. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
