 * I’m trying to create a sub page and having trouble with it. Incase I’m using 
   the wrong terminology, let me clarify exactly what I am trying to do. I want 
   to have a button in my navigation bar that, when somebody hovers their mouse 
   over it (or clicks on it, which ever way it normally works), it will drop down
   and display a list of subsections that they can click on. Something like this:
   
   Nav bar: Big subject sub subject Right now I have set both by “big subject” and“
   sub subject” to be pages. I set my “big subject” to be the parent of my “sub 
   subject” by using the quick edit tool, and I made sure that I place my “sub subject”
   as a subcategory (I use category in the normal sense, not the wordpress sense)
   under appearance > menus. After all that, all I got was my “big subject” in the
   navigation bar, but the “sub subject” wasn’t in the nav bar at all.
 * You can take a look at it here: [http://www.thescratchingquill.com](http://www.thescratchingquill.com)
   
   My “big subject” is “Other”. If you click on it, it will bring you to a blank
   page. I don’t want this. I would like “Other” not to exist at all except as a
   button to contain all my other sub categories where I will put my actual content.
   I have one page assigned to be a child of “other”, but it does not appear in 
   the nav bar at all.
 * Your help is very much appreciated.

 * In order to remove the link on Other, just make it a custom link in your menu
   and set it to #.
    That will make it appear, but not link to anything.
 * You’ll then need to fix your navigation css, though, because right now, your 
   sub-menu is hidden, because you’ve set this:
 *     ```
       navi-menu {
           background: #00557F;
           min-height: 40px;
           height: auto;
           overflow: hidden;
       ```
   
 * The overflow: hidden is preventing any sub-menus to show.

 * Thanks for your help Christine!
 * I created the custom link for “other” like you said, and it worked perfectly.
 * On the overflow issue, I’m still a little confused. I looked for what you posted
   under appearance>editor>style.css and I couldn’t find anything that looked exactly
   like what you showed me. I did however find too uses of “overflow: hidden;” They
   were:
 * .screen-reader-text {
    clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px); position: absolute !important;
   height: 1px; width: 1px; overflow: hidden;
 * and
 * .site-main .post-navigation {
    margin: 0 0 1.5em; overflow: hidden;
 * Am I looking in the right place?
 * It is good to know that “overflow: hidden;” is what is causing the problem, but
   how do I fix the problem? Do I just remove “overflow: hidden;”? If so, do I remove
   it in both the places I found it? Are the places I found it even the right places?
