 * Hello,
    I am having trouble getting two of my main menu items to link to their
   pages. They are currently just “dead” menu items.
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Do you have a link to the site?

 * I think it’s assumed that the sub-menu items are the main content of the main
   item hence that goes mo where. The dead link to Nutrition makes sense.
 * Add another menu item named ‘Nutrition’ using ‘Links’ instead of Pages. Put any
   url into it, add it to your primary menu (the one we are talking about), save
   that primary menu, then remove the url you put into the menu item ‘Nutrition’
   using ‘Links.’ Make the actual Nutrition page, MOD page, and recipe Blog sub 
   items of that new fake menu item.
 * There’s probably a smarter way

 * There is no issue, this is done by design.The Getting Started, About us, Nutrition
   and Resources all act the same. This is because, (as far as I can tell) your 
   themes navigation appears to be based on the navigation design of Bootstrap.
 * Where all parent menu items that contain sub menus (drop downs) will no longer
   be a link, instead they will be an anchor to activate the sub menu.

 * Is there any way to change it so that it does link? The way from enthusiasm did
   not work

 * Hmm that didn’t seem to work. As soon as I put in the php part it made my site
   go white 🙁

 * Where did you put the php? Without me assuming anything, did you do it in a [child theme](http://www.themesandco.com/snippet/creating-child-theme-customizr/)?
