DAWN THEme - How to make parent menu item clickable?

Hey,

I can’t figure out how to make my main menu item clickable, as of now when I click on the menu item it shows me the drop down menu. I want to be able to click on the main menu item as well.

awaiting your reply on solution

I want this answer as well

@NayMarieDesigns @MeetShah

i have copy this code i can see missing code arrow are you sure this full code

were you ever able to solve this? I am having the exact same issue, thanks!

I still haven’t figured out out and have tried every workaround I could think of, unfortunately. No responses and z I’ve asked this question on 3 threads

The workaround I’ve just used today is to go into Snippets > menu.liquid and change:

<span {%- if link.child_active %} class=“header__active-menu-item”{% endif %}>{{ link.title | escape }}

to

<a {%- if link.child_active %} class=“header__active-menu-item”{% endif %} href=“{{ link.url }}”>{{ link.title | escape }}

This should make it so that clicking the text will navigate to the page, whereas clicking the arrow will collapse/expand the drop down area. It’s a good starting point and if you wanted to take it any further you should be able to do so with CSS once this is in!

Just to mention - there were two instances of this span in our menu.liquid, I changed both

Hello!

I tried your solution and it works on desktop, but do you know how to make it work on mobile ?

Kind regards,

Nadia

Hi I am having the same issue. Could you please explain how to fix it?

Excellent, I’ve been looking for a solution for this for a while now.

I’ve now found a solution within the forum which works on mobile too. Please go to:

https://community.shopify.com/post/1968576

Great help, thank you, works like a charm!
I used the following code, so the link didn’t turn blue:

{{- link.title | escape -}}

This worked perfectly for me too, thanks for sharing! I did notice though, that I can now only hover on the homepage, on the other pages the hover is now longer available.

Any solution for this?

Many thanks in advance
