Menu not being detected in order?

Hi Bluerage,

Thanks for posting a link, but it’s not working for me. Without being able to see the site I can’t debug anything, only explain how it should work.

If your top level items have links (i.e. you haven’t checked the ‘disable link’ option), then their sub menus will appear as soon as you tab to them.

If the top level items don’t have links, then you’ll need to tab to them, then press enter to reveal/hide the sub menu.

Regards,
Tom

The website is live? Is there anything I need to enable to show the link?

Hi bluerage,

It’s not loading for me. Do you have firewall rules preventing outside visitors? I’m in the UK.

Hello, the site is currently being blocked for a few days but will be available to for you to inspect this coming Monday and Tuesday all day.

Would you mind checking it then?

Hi Danny,

I can see it now, and I see all of the links where ‘disable link’ has been enabled are skipped. I’m not sure why that’s happening. Does it still happen if you disable WP Accessibility (and any other accessibility related plugins/code)?

The top level a elements in the menu don’t have an href attribute, so they aren’t keyboard navigable. Links and buttons are navigable using the keyboard, but an a element without an href isn’t a link; and though adding the button role will make it report to AT as a button, it doesn’t actually transform the element in any meaningful way.

At a guess, the mega menu plug-in adds a tabindex attribute to those links to make it keyboard focusable, but WP Accessibility has an option that strips out tabindex attributes. You’ll probably need to turn that option off in order to have a functional menu.

Thats correct Joe.

Thanks for posting the solution.
