Yes I have, but its not working.
Have you added the dropdown widget to your sidebar?
After I installed the ‘Dropdown Menu Widget’ I followed the instructions on the video link by creating a menu. But when I did this, my original navigation pages (ten of them) disappeared and only the menu page was visible on my website. So, I deleted the menu.
I also went the ‘Widgets’ page, but this is where I think I’m getting confused. On the far right hand side, I need to drag the ‘Dropdown Menu’ under a ‘Widget area’. But I have no idea which one to drag it under.
There’s the ‘Primary Widget Area’, ‘Secondary Widget Area’, then ‘First, second, third, and fourth footer areas. As I want a few drop down pages from my existing pages, I have no idea where to find these pages. I tried dragging it under the “Primary Widget Area’, and the ‘Secondary Widget Area’, clicked save. I refreshed my webpage and there were no drop down pages.
I’m not sure I fully understand what you want to achieve. Do you want this dropdown to be part of your primary navigation menu? (like the navigation bar on http://teamkennet.com/ )
If you look at my webite, you will see ten pages. All I want to do is amalgamate three pages into one main page, with two drop down pages. Make sense?

The page I want two drop down pages is ‘Free Stuff’. I want to add ‘Copy Clinic’ and ‘Special Offers’ under the ‘Free Stuff’ page.
Twenty ten includes drop down menus by default. You just need to edit your primary menu by going to Dashboard -> Appearance -> Menus
The pages you want to group together need to be the children of the parent page which shows up in the top level of the menu.
Ok. I’ve gone: Dashboard > Appearance > Menus. On the left of the page is ‘Custom lInks’, ‘Pages’, and ‘Categories’. But they aren’t highlighted, so they aren’t accessible. The only accessible bit on this page is in the middle ‘Menu Name’.
So, presumably, I need to create a menu?
If I click the screen options tab on the far right, a ‘Show on Screen’ page appears and the following items are ticked. Custom links, Pages, Categories. The rest aren’t ticked.
In other words … I can’t edit my primary menu. I can see my pages listed on the left, but I can’t access them.
Firstly are you pages correctly structured in terms of parents and child pages? If so you shouldn’t have to do any messing about at all to get the dropdown to work.
Aaah. I’ve figured it out. I had to create a menu, which then made my ‘pages’ on the left accessible. I then chose which pages I want in the menu, which was all of them, and I put the two pages under ‘Free Stuff’ and it works now. I have sub pages under ‘Free Stuff’
Thank you very much for your help – much appreciated.
