    Hey Guys,

    again I have a problem with my website I created with the purple pastels theme.

    The dropdown menu disappears if you move the cursor slowly down. If you move it faster, it does not and you can reach the links of the dropdown menu.
    Does anyone have a solution, to reach the links of the dropdown menu even when moving the cursor slowly?

    Thanks in advance

    Dirk

    It sounds like your dropdown menu is too far down, that there’s a small gap between your main menu and it. Which browser & browser version are you experiencing the problem in?

    Hi,

    I am using Internet Explorer 8.0.7600.16385CO.
    It is strange. The problem does not always appear in my Internet Explorer but very often. I tried it with chrome –> no problem at all.

    Regards

    I think I solved the problem. It seemed to be like Andrew suspected. Here is my code:

    }
    #pp_tabs a {
    	display:block;
    	margin:0;
    	padding:0 10px;
    	line-height:20px;
    	text-decoration:none;
    	text-transform: none;
    }
    #pp_tabs ul ul {
    	display:none;
    	position:absolute;
    	top:19px; /* match line height for #pp_tabs a + 1*/
    	left:0;
    	float:left;
    	width:140px;
    	z-index:90;

    line-height=20 and top was initially at 21. I changed “top” to 19 and since then I have no problems with the dropdownmenue.

    Good work DiWa1982. I couldn’t replicate the issue and therefore didn’t know the answer, which is why I hadn’t responded.

    DiWa1982, I think you should make this change externally, not to the theme’s files. Otherwise when the theme updates, your modifications (made to the theme’s files) will be lost.

    Does that theme come with a plugin named, “Jetpack”, or “Custom CSS”? Or are you using a Child Theme?

    Hi Andrew,

    actually I did every change directly in the css. I do not have a plugin installed such as “Jetpack” or “Custom CSS” and I also do not use a childtheme. Which of them would you suggest to a non-experienced user?

    Try the Jetpack plugin and use its Custom CSS section of the dashboard to hold your CSS modifications.
