installed child theme, menu unresponsive

Hi,

I installed the child theme from this previous post (https://colorlibsupport.com/t/menu-bar-2/#post-53546), and it did move my menu where I wanted it, BUT now my menu is messed up — colors changed and it no longer links to one of the parent page — when I hover over that page link in the menu, the drop-down menu works but I cannot navigate to the parent page, only the child pages in the drop-down menu.

Advice on getting the colors back (they are correct on the homepage, but not on any other page) and getting the menu to respond again?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi @katw,

I hope you are well today and thank you for your question.

First of all please make sure that you have configured the Primary Menu in the Theme locations in the Menus screen.

Advice on getting the colors back (they are correct on the homepage, but not on any other page) and getting the menu to respond again?

First of all please tell me how you had changed the menu colors and share the screenshot of it when it was displaying fine then share me your site URL so that i can troubleshoot it.

and it no longer links to one of the parent page — when I hover over that page link in the menu, the drop-down menu works but I cannot navigate to the parent page, only the child pages in the drop-down menu.

This is the default behavior of Bootstrap framework that we have used in our theme. You can confirm it on the following Bootstrap framework nav menu demo page.

If you want to make the top level menu link visited on clicking on it then you can use the solution posted in the following reply.

Hi,

Thanks for your advice, the colors were super easy to fix, just changed the code in ‘editor’ – I can’t access that plugin in this post (https://colorlibsupport.com/t/correct-menu-structure/page/2/#post-28178)

Could you repost it?

Thanks!

If you can’t download that plugin then please create it by following the instructions posted in the below reply.
