WPFolio drop down menu problem
-
I am using WPFolio 1.7 and having some difficulty with the drop down menu. I had the same problem in WPFolio 1.6 so I thought I’d try the next version up.
I have used the instructions on this page http://wpfolio.visitsteve.com/wiki/instructions/navigation-menu for creating a dummy link, I want my menu to appear as
Galleries > mixed media, sculpture, …
this functions fine in Chrome but not Internet Explorer.
It has passed this markup validation test http://validator.w3.org
Can anyone suggest a next step?

Are you using a child theme? Try adding this to style.css:
@import url('../WPFolio/css/ie-sucks.css');
Where
WPFolio/
is the name of your parent directory.no, not using a child theme yet. I’ve just realised that I should be last night and reading up now on how to set that up (I’m very new to all this).
But thanks, I assume I should sort this child theme out first before doing the above?
Yes, definitely use a child theme instead of changing the theme’s core files, otherwise your changes will be overwritten when you update the theme.
ok, thanks so much for your help! Getting my head around child themes now and will do what you have suggested when I get there : )
I wonder if this might be the issue?

Check into @slambert’s suggestion – looks more promising than the@import url
idea, but def. keep going on a child theme!thanks to both of you for your help, I’m still working on it…
Yay! I’ve at last got my childtheme happening, I used
@import url(‘../WPFolio/css/ie-sucks.css’); in the childtheme style sheet which seems to have fixed the menu problem!I did try slamberts suggestion but I couldn’t quite work out where to put the z-index info. I know the instructions seem pretty clear but I spent quite a while and nothing I did seemed to make it work so I was probably putting it in the wrong place.
Just one more question in my childtheme style sheet? do I need to keep the
@import url(“../wpfolio/style.css”);as well as
@import url(‘../WPFolio/css/ie-sucks.css’);at the moment I have both
Yep, you definitely need
@import url("../wpfolio/style.css");
but shouldn’t need@import url("../wpfolio/css/ie-sucks.css");
. Now that you have your child theme up and running, try deleting that line and all should be okay, if it’s not, doesn’t hurt to leave it there.ok thanks very much for your help!
