Title: Hover effect stops working after a while Last modified: December 9, 2019 --- # Hover effect stops working after a while * [Onur Kurtic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/onurkurtic/) * (@onurkurtic) * [6 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hover-effect-stops-working-after-a-while/) * Hi there * I am hoping that someone’s had this issue before and can help us. The hover effect on the top level menu items stops working after a while on our page. It happens for instance when you search (CTRL + F) for a word on the page or manually resize the browser. After this the hover stops working and the only way to reveal the mega menu sub items is to click on the chevrons. * Anyone have an idea why this is happening and how to fix it?

Please try commenting those out to try and work out exactly where the issue is coming from. * The actual issue is that the parent items should be/are given a class of “mega- toggle-on” when you over over a menu item. But when you resize the screen, the parent items are given a class of “active” instead, which shouldn’t happen. * Regards, Tom * Thread Starter [Onur Kurtic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/onurkurtic/) * (@onurkurtic) * [6 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hover-effect-stops-working-after-a-while/#post-12224048) * Thank you! It looks like it may have been the `destroy_hooks_large()` function inside the big `create_hooks_large()` function that was causing it. When I comment out `destroy_hooks_large()` it seems to fix the issue. I hope it doesn’t break anything else * Plugin Author [megamenu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/megamenu/) * (@megamenu) * [6 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hover-effect-stops-working-after-a-while/#post-12224112) * Hi onurjurtic, * The only problem you will have is that if the theme updates then you will need to reapply that edit each time. * I can see now where the destroy_hooks_large() function is being applied to the menu now. It is adding itself to “.main-menu li”, and “main-menu” is present on the menu here: * [https://screencast.com/t/XdQo5Z87](https://screencast.com/t/XdQo5Z87) * That class is being added by this (custom?) JavaScript: * [https://screencast.com/t/leT7WbYy](https://screencast.com/t/leT7WbYy) * … so if you remove that line of JavaScript, I think it may all start working as it should. * Regards, Tom * Thread Starter [Onur Kurtic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/onurkurtic/) * (@onurkurtic) * [6 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hover-effect-stops-working-after-a-while/#post-12228753) * Similar to this problem, on the mobile menu (when visiting the site on an iPhone for instance) tapping on a menu item expands it no problem. However when you try to tap on it again, it won’t collapse. You need to tap on the tiny little chevron icon on the right hand side. * Do you know why this is ? * Plugin Author [megamenu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/megamenu/) * (@megamenu) * [6 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hover-effect-stops-working-after-a-while/#post-12230512) * Hi onurjurtic, * Please go to Mega Menu > Menu Themes > General Settings and set Second Click Behaviour to “First click opens sub menu, second click closes sub menu”. * Regards, Tom * Thread Starter [Onur Kurtic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/onurkurtic/) * (@onurkurtic) * [6 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hover-effect-stops-working-after-a-while/#post-12232381) * Amazing thanks a lot! Last question (I promise :)) on iPhone landscape orientation and on iPad portrait layout, the 3 column layout under “about ivari” is tacking into 1 column. How do I adjust the break points for that so that it doesn’t stack until iPhone portrait? * Plugin Author [megamenu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/megamenu/) * (@megamenu) * [6 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hover-effect-stops-working-after-a-while/#post-12234972) * Hi onurkurtic, * The menu is picking up some CSS from your theme. To fix it, try this custom CSS: * ``` #mega-menu-wrap-consumer_main_menu li { clear: none; } ``` * Regards, Tom Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) The topic ‘Hover effect stops working after a while’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/megamenu/assets/icon-128x128.png?rev=1489843) * [Max Mega Menu](https://wordpress.org/plugins/megamenu/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/megamenu/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/megamenu/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/megamenu/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/megamenu/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/megamenu/reviews/) ## Tags * [hover](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/hover/) * 9 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [megamenu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/megamenu/) * Last activity: [6 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hover-effect-stops-working-after-a-while/#post-12234972) * Status: not resolved
