Make parent menu item clickable on Mobile - Dawn Theme

Topic summary

A user successfully made parent menu items clickable on desktop in the Dawn theme but encountered issues with mobile functionality.

Solution provided:

  • Open the header-drawer.liquid file
  • Locate the <summary> tag around lines 28-30
  • Replace the highlighted <summary> element with an <a> tag using this code structure:
    <a class="link--text" style="text-decoration:none;" href="{{ link.url }}">{{ link.title | escape }}</a>
    

The solution converts the summary element to a clickable link element, enabling parent menu items to function as links on mobile devices. The helper confirmed this approach and asked the original poster to test and provide feedback.

Hi, I managed to make the parent menu items on my website clickable in the Dawn theme, but it doesn’t seem to be working on mobile. Has anyone found a solution for this? I can’t seem to find it in the community forums.

My website is https://petitfox.pt.

Thanks.

Got it. So open your header-drawer.liquid file and look for summary tag around line 28 to 30 if you havent made a lot of changes.

See the part that is highlighted that was {{ link.title | escape }} I cnaged it to an a tag to this {{ link.title | escape }}

Try it out. Let me Know. Hope this works out for you as you ant it to.

Thanks
