Need Main Menu with drop down capability

  • Hello. I am using the “Finale” theme and it is free. My problem is that I need a main navigation menu that can have “drop-downs” I have set up a child theme and am comfortable changing the CSS in the child theme but I would like to speed up this process as I need these dropdowns ASAP. I have a rudimentary understanding of CSS but am savvy and can follow direction to a T so if you can help here is the “nav PHP” that I have copied and pasted. I am assuming I have to override this with my child theme? Any help much appreciated.

    I am still working on it but as you can see, if I try to create a sub-menu item it just goes beneath the parent menu item which then makes the nav bar way to wide. Thanks for having a look.

    That theme is not designed to have child menu items in the primary menu… mainly because of that cool red highlighter underneath.

    So, your best solution is to limit the use of primary parent links…and then add submenu navigation to a sidebar menu or a menu on each page.

    There really isn’t a great solution beyond that, because making the font’s smaller wouldn’t look good, and the child menu items would destroy the function of the menu.

    You could kill the function of the primary menu highlighting and restructure it but…ugh… trying to build a corvette from a bmw…
