 * I’m using Understrap on a WordPress installation as a child theme and it is working
   well.
 * I am running into one issue though. I have a standard WordPress menu (Appearance
   > Menus) where each of the top-level pages have children. The drop down works
   and the caret appears when there are children, but currently when a page does
   have children the menu replaces the parent’s page link with a #.
 * Is there a way to separate the caret’s link from the page text’s link so that
   the parent page is still clickable while the caret controls the drop down?

 * No, sorry. Thats the intendet behavior of Bootstrap 4.
    There is no :hover event
   on mobile devices just clicks. If a parent menu item opens instantly a new page
   there is no way to open the dropdown and click on a sub menu item. So the parent
   links are just used as click handler without content behind it. Thats the only
   way to keep it working and accessible on all devices
