When menu becomes a drop-down menu, it no longer goes to the page it is assigned to when clicked.

Hi I am at “Navigation”, and I found out that when a menu item ( say “Type A”) becomes a drop-down menu, because I put items under “Type A”.

Now when i click “Type A”, only the drop-down menu appears, but it no longer goes to the page it is assigned to.

Is it possible for the drop-down menu to appear, and for the page to go to the assigned page ?

Many thanks.

In my screenshot below, when I click “Type A”, it should go to the “Ripple fold” page. But now it does not.

Hi @hip280

When a menu item is converted into a dropdown menu, it will no longer be clickable as a standalone menu item. Users can only click on the options within the dropdown menu.

It’s important to note that only one functionality can work at a time—either the menu item remains clickable, or it serves as a dropdown menu.

Unfortunately, both cannot be integrated simultaneously.

Let me know if you have any further questions!

I hope this helps

Best,

Daisy

Hi @DaisyVo , thanks for your reply.

Hmm…I do see that its possible on other websites. ie the drop-down menu is both clickable and also function as a drop-down menu.

For example, when you hover your mouse over the drop-down menu, the drop-down menu appears, but when you click it, it opens another page.

eg www.comfy.sg

When you hover-over “Living room”, the drop-down menu appear, but when you click it, it goes to the “Living room” page.

Just wondering how they do it.

-down menu, the drop-down menu appears, and when you click the drop-down menu

it will open up a web page.

I believe you may encounter many websites that demonstrate this.

Hi @hip280

I just checked on mobile, and there’s only one option: clicking to show the menu. It doesn’t redirect as you mentioned.

Best,
