Is there a way either to create more space by widening the drop-down or by being able to visualize a longer list?
I’m not sure how widening the drop-down would better accommodate more drop-down menu items, since each item still takes up its own line.
I’d probably suggest rethinking your menu system rather than continuing to add more sub-menu items. For example, perhaps group the names alphabetically in batches, or create “landing pages” for each alphabetically section, to avoid putting each one in the menu itself.
For example, you could create a landing pages for names A-L (or whatever division you like) and list all the names on the page and link them from there. You would then put these landing pages in your menu, instead of the individual pages.
p.s. in future, could you please start a new thread rather than adding your question to an existing one, especially one that’s old and already marked as resolved. Thanks!
