Main collection when having nested collections isn't clickable on mobile

Store Design
, ,

Topic summary

A Shopify store owner is experiencing an issue where nested menu items behave differently on mobile versus desktop.

The Problem:

  • On desktop: clicking “All lamps” (a parent item with subcategories) successfully opens its collection page
  • On mobile: the same item only expands to show subcategories but cannot be clicked to access the collection itself

Root Cause:
The theme’s mobile menu structure automatically converts parent links into expansion buttons when subcategories exist, preventing direct navigation to the parent collection.

Proposed Solution:
Changing to a different theme that supports clickable parent items in nested menus. The store owner was directed to browse Shopify’s theme library to find one with this functionality.

Status: The issue remains unresolved, with the owner seeking theme recommendations that allow parent collection links to remain clickable on mobile even when subcategories are present.

Hello!

I have www.bacchusantik.com.

I have categories such as:

  • Lamps
    • All lamps
      • Table lamps
      • Floors lamps
      • Ceiling lamps
      • Wall lamps

They are all linked to collections… Lamps & All lamps are both linked to a collection which contain all lamps.
Then we have 4 sub categories of lamps.

Main problem: When I am on my computer, you can press “all lamps” even though it has sub categories. Then it show the collection all lamps. However when on my mobile, I can not press this to get to the collection. What is happening is that it expands and show the 4 sub categories. I can not find any way to open the collection “all lamps” itself. What am I doing wrong? This happens to whatever meny I choose. I have the mega menu choosen.

Secondary question: Who do I have to refer the very first, “lamps” to a collection? Its never clickable and takes me to that collection anyway.

Would be very happy to avoid making any changes in code. I believe I must have made something wrong since this can’t be standard behaviour.

PS: All my menu items refer to a collection except “about us”.

Kindly regards,

Daniel

@Michael_Stromqu Hope you are doing well.

This is happen due to your theme structure for mobile menu. Your theme has functionality to convert the link to button if it has sub menu.

so while you click on that all lamp link it is redirect you to the submenu items.

Thank you! So the best option to solve this is to change theme?
Do you know any theme that has this functionality, what is it called by the way?
