Adding dropdown navigation menu to body

  • I am working on this website and I need to add a drop down navigation menu in the body of a page. I have created the menu in the dashboard, but can’t figure out how to make it appear in the body. I tried using a plugin called Shortcodes Ultimate, which will let me add the menu, but it appears expanded like as in an outline, rather than a contracted menu that expands upon clicking (exactly like the main navigation in the header).
    Is it necessary to use a plugin, or is there some way to find the code for the menu I created and paste it directly where I want the menu to appear?

  • Hi there. I just checked your site and since I see dropdown menus, it seems that you figured this one out on your own. Could you confirm that this has been resolved?

    I wasn’t having a problem with the navigation dropdown menus, but with trying to integrate a dropdown menu in the body of this page. Currently, there’s a full, visible menu with links after the first paragraph in the body…this is where I’d like a dropdown instead, with the same links (basically a clone of the dropdown under “Product Overview” in the main nav bar).

    Ah, sorry. So you’d like to put a piece on code into your content area to generate a dropdown menu. In WordPress, the built-in menus features is limited to areas designated by the theme as menus or widget areas, and can’t be embedded in a content area like that. I did a quick search to see if anyone had written a plugin that does what you’re trying, but couldn’t find one. You might need to branch out from WordPress pluginss and find an example of the dropdown style you want using JavaScript, and then write the code for your embedded menu that way.

    If anyone reading this knows of another way to achieve what @thirdofnine is trying to do, please chime in!
