Title: Dropdown submenu link doesn’t work Last modified: September 14, 2018 --- # Dropdown submenu link doesn’t work * [Eva Ts](https://wordpress.org/support/users/localport/) * (@localport) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dropdown-submenu-link-doesnt-work/) * Hello, in my WPMU installation I use Evolve Theme for one of the sites. I update to the last 4.9.7 but it didn’t work, so I returned to the 4.9.6. I have a menu with dropdown subitems whose links doesn’t work anymore. Even the cursor doesn’t change, as it doesn’t see there is a link. I experienced this issue before with other release of the theme (even normal single installation) but I solved it making a child theme. I also noticed that if I enable the hover effect I see some pixel below the menu items, as if it is repeated down. Fortunatelly, I don’t need hover effect, but I think it is good to report this issue, I think it is related to the submenu link not working. Now, I don’t need a child theme anymore, so I need help.

I’ve also disable the hover effect. So maybe update, remove any css for menu, empty cache if use a caching plugin and test. Also a url of your site will help * [Romik84](https://wordpress.org/support/users/romik84/) * (@romik84) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dropdown-submenu-link-doesnt-work/#post-10690615) * [@localport](https://wordpress.org/support/users/localport/) did the new version fix the issue? * Thread Starter [Eva Ts](https://wordpress.org/support/users/localport/) * (@localport) * [7 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dropdown-submenu-link-doesnt-work/#post-10694569) * Hello, It didn’t solve the problem, unfortunatelly. I created a new site ex novo, with two pages just to test and there is no problem in it. So I think there is something in the first site that make a conflicts. I will try in the afternoon( Rome time) to investigate and then I’ll let you know. I can’t give you the url because it is a test site password protected. If you need, I can give you the url privately, not in the forum. Let me know. Thank you!

But as you wrote, it can be a plugin conflict or a customization, if you did some. * Thread Starter [Eva Ts](https://wordpress.org/support/users/localport/) * (@localport) * [7 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dropdown-submenu-link-doesnt-work/#post-10694838) * I’ll try, if I can not get rid of the problem, I’ll give you access.

It’s a plugin conflict with Widgekit for Elementor.

I’m running Evolve 3.9.8 with minimal plugins. No child theme. I’ve cleared the cache. Thoughts?
