When I move the mouse over a submenu the menu tree and submenu disappears. The main dropdown menu works just fine, the problem seems to be with the submenu only. ---

What browser do you use? It appears to working just fine for me, at least on my demo website but I am not saying that there can’t be some problems with this theme. ---

I’ve activated the site temporarily so that you can check out the menu problem. I use Firefox, but I’ve opened the site in Internet Explorer and Chrome and the menu still reacts the same way. Also I deactivated plugins but that didn’t help either. ---

Those menu items acts a little weird, that’s for sure 🙂 Try to add this to style.css ```auto .main-nav ul li { display: inline-block; } ``` Not sure if it will help but I see that it is missing from the original theme files. I have plans to recreate this theme because this was my first theme I ever released and obviously it is far from perfect. It does look nice and all but its code is a disaster. Could switch to Bootstrap and start over. So far I can’t give you an exact release date on that but hopefully within a month or so I will start working on it. It is something I have postponed for a while but it really needs to be done. ---

Placed the code in style.css, but the problem persists. It’s something I can live with. I’ll tinker with the menu and see if I can find a work-around. If not, I can always remove the sub-menus. By-the-way…if this is your first theme, congratulations, because you did an outstanding job! I really like the theme, it’s an eye catcher. ---

Hi, I have the same problem. As long as I dont have any submenus all works fine. But when I try to have submenues all disappear when I click n the menu item. The link shows as # - not the real page. Did you found a solution? ---

Hi @ulfert, 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. [http://getbootstrap.com/examples/navbar/](http://getbootstrap.com/examples/navbar/) 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. > [@Correct menu structure with clickable top menu for Sparkling theme](https://colorlibsupport.com/t/correct-menu-structure-with-clickable-top-menu-for-sparkling-theme/7613): > > Hi everyone, I am sure this is a basic question, but I am struggling about having a correct menu structure. Basically, I have the following menu structure Activity → Top level main menu - which is a page – Sub Activity 1 → which is a page – Sub Activity 2 → which is a page So I have 2 questions when I go on the page sub activity 1 or 2, the main menu item “Activity” is not colored to show that I am in this menu, what structure should I use to have the main menu item colored? How do … Best Regards, Movin ---
