Drop Down Menu does not work in WP 3.9.1

You can try reinstalling WordPress from the updates page in your dashboard.

Please disable all plugins and see if the issue persists. If not, some of your plugins may not be compatible with the theme. Enable them one by one to find the problematic plugin.

Please also make sure you have enough space in your web host.

If nothing works, you wil have to find some professional help in updating your theme to follow latest WordPress standards.

Hi Ravi.

Neither reinstalling WP nor turning off all of the plugins does the trick.

I’m on a dedicated server with a lot of resources. I wouldn’t think that is of issue.

Note: this is the source code for the nav bar if that is of any help:

<div class=”main_navi clearfix hybrid_dropnavi”>
<ul id=”menu-custom-navbar1″ class=”menu”>
<li id=”menu-item-1280″ class=”menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-1280″>

The drop downs work for me on https://www.cha-chachic.com.

On https://www.johnwallickjewelers.com however, the issue may be because there are a lot of console errors indicating missing javascript resources:

If your drop down menus are done with js, other js errors are likely what causing it to not work.

Hi alphaalec.

Thank you for the reply.

I I found that the nav bar works at cha-chachic.com but only if I am not logged in. For whatever reason it works when logged out of the dashboard but is inactive when I am logged in.

I was able to duplicate this partial functionality by replacing the js folder of JWJ with the ch-chachic site so it’s progress and I thank you for the advice.

If you or anyone else has a clue why it becomes disabled when I login to the dashboard I’d appreciate hearing from you.

Side note: disabling all active plugins does not seem to help.
