How To Hover Dropdown Menu In refresh theme?

Topic summary

A user wants to modify the Refresh theme’s dropdown menu behavior to open on hover instead of requiring a click.

GemPages support provided initial instructions:

  • Navigate to Online Store > Theme > Edit code
  • Open the theme.liquid file
  • Paste specific code before the tag

However, multiple users reported the solution didn’t work for their stores. A later participant identified the missing component: jQuery needs to be added to the theme.liquid file for the hover functionality to work properly.

Status: The discussion appears resolved with the jQuery addition, though implementation details remain minimal.

I’m using the refresh theme. I don’t like the dropdown, only when I am clicking on the menu it open the dropdown menu, there is a option to just go over the menu with the mouse and it will open up dropdown menu without clicking?

I guess what I really want is to show the dropdown as you hover, not on click - is there anyway to do that?

Thanks in advance!
