# Dropdown subnav doens't work

 * When dragging a link in the main navigation as sub nav, everything seems to be
   fine. But when testing it in my browser (using mamp localhost), it won’t appear
   when hovering over the menu item (although the arrow is visible).
 * I haven’t changed anything in the Javascript. Could it be a CSS issue?

 * For this theme submenus are displayed only on click. See this behavior on theme
   dem when [clicking on About](http://colorlib.com/dazzling/).

 * Can this be changed so that the menu dropdown appears on hover and the main menu
   item goes to a page? If so, how?

 * First part can be done by adding this code to Child Theme style.css or inside
   Jetpack Custom CSS area if one is used.
 *     ```
       ul.nav li.dropdown:hover > ul.dropdown-menu {
           display: block;
       }
       ```
   
 * But it is not possible to make top menu item clickable without heavy modification
   to this theme.

 * Can I use a menu plugin that will deploy a different menu?

 * Or revert to the core Worpress menu?

 * There should be a plugin for that I have seen some Mega Menu variations used 
   with this theme.
 * There is no such thing as default WordPress menu. This theme does use menu item
   IDs that comes from WordPress itself and menu is integrated using the best WordPress
   code practices but it is styled slightly differently with icons, sections, dividers
   etc.

 * Do you accept the statement: _But it is not possible to make top menu item clickable
   without heavy modification to this theme.?_
 * I think it’s embarrasing to knowingly show a disabled website to a customer!
 * Does anybody know how to place the widget Custom Menu horizontally on top of 
   dazzling? It can handle both 2 and 3 tiers.
