Problems with navigation

    Im using the free generatepress theme. I created a sidebar (with CSS) to add a vertical menu, and installed the free Max Mega Menu plugin to customize the navigation. Then I started to add pages (95 by now). Unfortunately the free MMM plugin isn’t made to handle vertical menus, so I deleted it.

    So I was back to the built in GP-menu, with my 95 sites (sorted in a main menu level and 4 submenu-levels). I have 2 problems now:

    1. The main menu level and all sublevels are arranged vertically (good), but without any indent. With some 10 or 20 pages, that may be ok, but not with almost 100 pages (planned are several hundred), within 4 or 5 sublevels. Is there a way to add some indent to each sublevel? Lets say 0 for the top level, 10px for the first sublevel, another 10px for the next sublevel and so on?

    2. I added content to each page I created. So each top level page has content, each first sublevel page has content and each second sublevel page has content – no matter if one of these pages is a parent or a child page. When I used the MMM plugin for the navigation, I was able to click on each menu item (lets say on sublevel 3), and the specific page did open and at the same time the menu items of sublevel 4 showed up, and I was able to open one of these pages.
    Now with the GP-navigation, I’m not able to open the parent-pages anymore. I can click on a main menu item, but then it only shows the first sublevel menu items, but the page itself doesnt open, I can only open pages of the last sublevel. What do I need to do, that a click on menu item not only shows the sublevel menu but also opens the specific website?

    Hi there,

    1. This sounds like it may need some custom CSS. Can you link us to the page so we can check it out?

    2. This depends on the menu dropdown type you’ve chosen: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/navigation-dropdown/

    The Click – Menu Item option will disable the parent item and force it to act as a toggle for the sub-menus.

    The Click – Arrow option will allow the parent item to go to its page, and will make the array icon act as the toggle for the sub-menus.

    Hi Tom,

    Thanks for your answer.

    1. I already thought, that a CSS will be the only solution. But Im using a localhost (WAMP). So unfortunately I can’t link to the page. I was not sure, if someone already uses GP and probably has the same problem.

    2. Perfect! Thanks. The Click – Arrow option is what I needed.

    3. So with the “Click – Arrow” option I can click on a parent item and the page opens. But the menustructure closes/”collapses” at the same time. Is there a way to keep the menu opened, so I still see the menustructure with all the submenus?
