 * Hi there,
 * My header menu has a few drop down categories, however, when I hover over the
   menu, and the drop down menu appears, I access the drop down menu options – it
   disappears before I can click on anything. Help and thanks in advance!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fmy-drop-down-header-menu-issue%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi there,
 * Thank you for using Olsen Light.
    Add this
 *     ```
       .navigation li:hover > ul, .navigation .sfHover > ul {
           top: 15px;
       }
       ```
   
 * in your custom CSS box under Customize->Additional CSS.
    It seems you have a 
   javascript error since one of the main menu components is missing from the theme.
   Have you made any code changes that might caused this?
 * Let me know if you need additional help.

 * Hi, it’s showing up as an error when I add that coding – I had some malware not
   that long ago that I worked with Bluehost to remove (my site is free of it now).
   That would probably be the java script issue. How am I able to fix that? Everything
   else on my site works fine except for this header menu thing. Thanks!

 * Hi there.
    I am afraid you will need to reinstall the theme since some parts 
   maybe missing, or accidentally removed when fighting against that malware. Remember
   if you have made code changes you will lose them, so create a child theme first.
 * Have a look at this guide to learn more about child themes and how to create 
   one [http://www.cssigniter.com/ignite/beginners-guide-child-themes/](http://www.cssigniter.com/ignite/beginners-guide-child-themes/)
 * The CSS code suggestion, has nothing to do with the javascript error, since the
   error was already there in the first place. If you remove the Custom CSS, the
   error will continue to appear.
 * Let me know how I can help out more.
 * PS. Did the custom css worked?
