# Parent menu Item

 * First I would like to say that you’ve made a beautiful theme, thank you.
 * I just finished building a site with several pages with 4 menu items that have
   submenus under them. 3 of the 4 parent menu titles link directly to pages but
   when I check them in my browser the links are stripped and replaced with a “#”.
   I haven’t ever run into this before so I’m guessing this is by design in your
   theme – but can I override this?
    Thanks again.

 * Hello, JustBruno.
 * Thank you for contacting us and for using our theme. We appreciate it and the
   fact that you like it as well. 🙂
 * Now, in order to override that behaviour, you’ll need to make one small change
   in one theme file.
    Please navigate to /elara/parts/navigation-header.php and
   change the line 25
 * `'depth' => 2,` so that instead of 2 you put 3 or 4 until all of your menu levels
   work.
 * Hope this helps.
 * Kind regards.

 * [@justbruno](https://wordpress.org/support/users/justbruno/) Thanks for trying
   out Elara, we appreciate it.
 * I think [@siniplyrathemes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/siniplyrathemes/)
   may have misunderstood the issue here. I think you’re referring to the main parent
   menu items where they open on hover but on click, there is no link and they actually
   link to “#”.
 * This is by design, but I have made a note of this so we can make adjustments 
   to allow you to link to an actual URL in the next update.
 * Stay tuned!
