Menu issue

    Hi

    I had an issue the other day that I haven’t come across on a client site.

    Client is using Woocommerce. We had updated in the Products/Category area (added additional text so that it appears underneath the main Category Header) and is displayed on relevant Category page. You have no issues seeing the relevant information on the Category page.

    But after I had added that Category MENU item to the Main Menu, then for some reason the Description appeared underneath the Main Heading in the Menu area which has never happened before. So then I had to delete the Menu item and create a “Custom Link’ instead of using the standard “Product Categories” link in the Menu area on the left hand side.

    What would be causing this ? As I already have other menu items with Category descriptions that have never displayed on the Top menu before and this is the first time it has happened. A client then picked up on the display issue.

    Using Mega Menu.

    Could someone offer advice on what would have caused this ? Possibly latest version of Woocommerce or WordPress causing this ?

    Thanks
    Kristin

    Hi Kristin,

    For some reason (I do not know why), when you add a category to a WordPress menu, it will also add the description. You can either expand the category menu item and remove the description, or go to Mega Menu > General Settings and globally disable descriptions there.

    HI

    I’ve had this client for over 1 year and have added other descriptions on other Categories which definately have NOT shown up on the Mega Menu sub-menu.

    Therefore that is why I assumed there must have been a new version somewhere that caused this.

    If I globally disable descriptions in there you mentioned, it will still show the Descriptions on the actual Category page – we are just disabling it in the Mega Menu is that correct ?

    Maybe it was the recent update of Mega Menu that explains why it has just recently appeared ?

    Thanks
    Kristin

    Hi Kristin,

    When you add a new category item to the menu, and if the category previously had a description, WordPress will copy that description to the menu item also.

    If I globally disable descriptions in there you mentioned, it will still show the Descriptions on the actual Category page – we are just disabling it in the Mega Menu is that correct ?

    That’s correct.

    Regards,
    Tom
