Our navigation menu has a hover-open effect. We want to make it to that the sub dropdowns open only on click, not hover as they do now. Currently, it is functioning a bit clunky, and wanted to know if anyone knows how I can change it to open on click rather than hover.

H there - this can be done, yes. Mind if we request collaborator access to take a look at your theme, and any apps that may play a role?

Private message us too if you want.

Take care,
