How can I include empty parent but not as link?

    Hi, I have some menu items that are parents with several child items associated with them. Basically, the parent items on my current menu are empty placeholders (I use a plugin that allows me to refer to them as link “#” so they themselves are inactive. Essentially, they act as category titles. Then, I have one or more child items on them that go to actual pages. For example:

    Heading 1 >
    Page 1
    Page 2
    Heading 2 >
    Page 1
    Page 2

    So, the question goes to how I can show this entire structure (which it is doing) but the parent headings not be dead links? It would be best if I could remove the link property from them, and then make them more of a heading value (h3). Is it possible?

    Thanks!

    Hi Dave,

    There is no way to do this out of the box.

    However if want to get creative you could filter the output using the ‘wp_list_pages’ filter.

    Otherwise, it may be easier to just kill the links with Javascript. This should do the trick

    jQuery( '.advanced-sidebar-menu .child-sidebar-menu > li > a' ).click(function(ev){ ev.preventDefault();});

    If you don’t have a handy place to add it, you may add this to your active theme’s footer.php file, somewhere before the </html>

    <script>
jQuery( '.advanced-sidebar-menu .child-sidebar-menu > li > a' ).click(function(ev){ ev.preventDefault();});
</script>
