Get rid of Parent Page for Sub-Menus? – Twenty Eleven

  • I have added several submenus to one one Menu.

    On my menu bar I have the word “Learn” and several submenus of things to learn about underneath. Is there anyway to remove the parent page “Learn,” so that there is only a list of drop down submenus topics.

    I don’t like having the Menu item “Learn” clickable. It’s a blank landing page and I don’t want to write a general topic there…

    Thanks in advance!

    Fun turning WP blogs into websites.

  • The Menus edit screen has a box on the left hand side called “Theme Locations”, right underneath that is one called “Custom Links”. Enter the Label for the link (the “Learn” link you want to use) and remove the URL (URL field must be blank).

    Then add the link to your custom menu, use it as the parent menu item, that should make it not clickable. You don’t have to create pages for top level menu items that you don’t want clickable.

    Hope that helps, have fun, cheers

    Use the ‘Page Links To’ plug-in, this adds an option to set the permalink at the bottom of the screen when editing a page.

    On the parent page, set the link to #

    Thank you to both.

    I first tried to edit it in “Menus” and was able to create the custom link to nowhere, but couldn’t get the page to update to it. (I did empty cache etc.) I have been editing my tabs and submenus using this… but figure maybe I have done something else to somewhat over-ride this nifty trick? Sigh.

    So I added the page links to plugin with # and it works well enough!

    That’s great! Always good to have options.
