top Menu link not clickable with nested menus

Topic summary

Issue: In a hierarchical navigation (nested menu) with a parent item “Products” and a child level “Categories,” the parent link becomes non-clickable while only the submenu items remain clickable.

Goal: Keep the top-level “Products” item itself clickable, without losing access to its nested submenu items.

Context: The author is building a multi-level menu and wants both direct navigation via the parent link and interaction with its child entries. “Nested menus” here means a menu structure where a parent item expands to reveal additional child links.

Requested help: Practical guidance on achieving a clickable parent item alongside its dropdown/child items.

Hi,

I’m trying to build a nested menu system with Products > Categories, but I would like the highest menu item itself ‘‘Products’’ to remain clickable, however only the nested menus remain clickable.

How can I achieve this,

thanks in advance.
