 * This is great plugin. Works fine in FF and IE, however the hover doesnt work 
   in Google Chrome. User must click instead of Hover, in google chrome. Any ideas?

 * Hi mike,
 * Thanks for the link. The menu is showing for me on hover in chrome, please could
   you try clearing your browser cache and trying again?

 * Hello Tom, Thanks for your support. I tested it on my desktop on Chrome and it
   works properly. Just not on my laptop on Chrome for some reason. Must be an isolated
   issue. Anyways, thanks for your support.

 * I am actually experiencing the same problem. My Chrome browsers work fine (Virtual
   Machine Windows and Macintosh) but my colleagues’ Chromes were only showing dropdowns
   on onclick. For some reason, their machines (both desktop, Windows 7) are evaluating
   as touch devices. So isTouchDevice is evaluating as true on their machines. I
   am not sure if it is related to:

 * It claims that newer versions of Chrome work properly with this check but, at
   least in the case of my co-workers, this does not seem to be the case. Like I
   said, it did work fine for me. So I think that the issue is a false positive 
   on the isTouchDevice check. I see that Modernizr seems to use the same test… 
   I’m not sure what the proper solution is – I have no idea why both of these Windows
   machines with updated Chrome are being detected as touch devices.

 * It is indeed. To solve the problem, I changed the code of the function IsTouchDevice()
   in public.js file of the plugin.
    The new code looks like this:
 * function isTouchDevice() {
    return (‘ontouchstart’ in document.documentElement&&
   navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf(‘chrome’) == -1); }
 * Now it works properly on every devices. Hope it helps.

 * Hi there
 * Thanks for the plugin, Tom. Looks good, Will rate and contribute as I am more
   experienced.
 * I am still experiencing this issue.
 * On Chrome 37.0 i have to click it. A colleague has it working on hover, also 
   in Chrome. IE works just fine.
 * Serge91 – that fix, is it to a particular file in the plugin? Would you advise
   that as the plugin can update and replace that at any time? Tom, perhaps a fixed
   to apply for the next update, please?
 * Thanks

 * Hi. I’m experiencing the same issue in CHROME. In Chrome I need to click on the
   navigation item, where in Firefox or IE, it works on mouseover.
 * Tried clearing cache in Chrome, but still have to click to get the sub menu to
   work.
 * Looking forward to a fix or something. 🙂
 * Thanks,
    Gary

 * [@yatish](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yatish/): You have to manually 
   change the code of the function IsTouchDevice() in public.js file.
 * As you said, a plugin update will erase this fix and then you will have to fix
   it again. That’s why I emailed Tom to ask him to fix this bug for the next release.
 * Anyway, this is a good temporary solution before getting a fixed version of the
   plugin.
