Dropdown not working on iPad

I found an article about this topic (non WP) and it says:

all you need to do is add
onClick=”return true”
to the “A” tag within any list item (such as LI) that triggers a menu to pop up. This works for cascading menus as well.

So if it’s not CSS related, where do I need to make this change? Which file? I work in Dreamweaver & although I’m not a coder, I have no qualms about editing php files. Would I have to make Events and Calendar child links to a new, non-linked parent such as Events&More ?

Okay, I finally figured out a fix. I downloaded the “Page Links To” plugin and then created a new menu item named Events&More. I was then able to link Events&More to a custom URL, which was simply #.

Then I made the Events and Calendar pages become child pages of Events&More and it fixed my iPad problem.

The only problem this fix has created is when I view the site on my phone & laptop, it puts the Events&More parent link in the list of links when the Menu button is clicked.

Hi, Debbie:

Glad you were able to find a solution. You didn’t need a plugin to create a custom URL menu item. If you go to Appearance → Menus there should be a section labeled Links on the left. If it’s not there, click the Screen Options tab in the upper right corner of the screen, check the box for Links, and it should then appear. Then all you need to do is create a Links menu item, setting the URL to # as you did before.

If you want to hide the Events&More menu item from the mobile menu, you can add this rule:

@media screen and (max-width: 600px) {
   .toggled-on .page-item-288 > a {
      display: none;
   }
}

If you ever decide to do another site, take a look at the Montezuma theme. Highly customizeable, because you work with virtual template files, a lot like coding your own HTML. Kind of a high learning curve, but very adaptable to just about any look you need. You can read more about it here.

Hi Crouching Bruin, I did try Appearance/Menu first but when I made it the primary menu it messed up my CSS (links were spread wide apart and the menu had to wrap). I didn’t want to spend any more time on this site trying to figure out what went wrong, and then remembered I had used the page links plugin a year or so ago on another site so went that route.

Thanks for the tip on the Montezuma theme, I’ll take a look at it. I used to use Framework and had become very familiar with how it worked and then suddenly the author changed everything, including adding some mistakes which he wasn’t fixing despite my efforts to point them out. Update: First glance at Montecuma, “sites created using the theme will adapt itself to the size of the display.” That sounds wonderful!

Every time I finish another WP site I have a feeling of satisfaction that I’ve overcome some obstacles, but during the process I swear I’m done. Maybe I’m getting too old to keep up with technology or becoming more right brain dominant.

Thanks again for your help, you’re an angel.

PS Thanks for the style for hiding Events&More, I’ll definitely use that.
