# Main menu causing problems with top WordPress menu drop downs.

 * I love the theme, but have found a slight problem.
 * When I mouse over the built-in WordPress menus, like My Sites, or +New, part 
   of the Modern main menu theme style is getting applied to the WordPress menus.
   The first two or so options are darker than the rest, as if the WordPress menu
   is getting nested under the theme main menu. The options that are darker also
   cannot be selected, and the WordPress menu will disappear if you mouse of them.

 * Hi,
 * The issue you describe seems to be CSS `z-index` related, however, I do not get
   the issue when the WordPress native admin bar is displayed (when I’m logged in).
 * Is the admin bar for your website still on (even when you are not logged in)?
   If so, can you please provide the URL to your website so I can check personally?
 * Regards,
 * Oliver

 * Thanks for your prompt response.
 * We are using the native admin bar (4.1.1), and default Modern theme. We have 
   played around with the z-indexes already, and it just causes the Modern menu 
   bar fall behind the page content.
 * I cannot give you my site info, but here is a screenshot:

 * Hi,
 * I’m sorry but I can not determine what’s wrong from a screenshot.
 * Here is the screenshot to prove it works correctly: [http://awesomescreenshot.com/0d54pf2z66](http://awesomescreenshot.com/0d54pf2z66)
 * Have you tried to disable your plugins to see if some of them may actually cause
   the issue?
 * Regards,
 * Oliver
