A user encountered styling issues with a dropdown submenu in their Shopify Dawn theme. After adding a “Catering” submenu under “Events,” an unwanted box appeared around the dropdown.
Initial Problem:
Custom CSS for uppercase text, spacing, and sizing caused visual issues with the dropdown menu
A border/box appeared around the submenu item
Solution Provided:
A community helper provided custom CSS code to be added to the theme.liquid file (above the tag). After the first solution still showed a box around the entire dropdown, refined CSS was provided to style only the “Catering” text without the surrounding box.
Current Status:
The visual issue is resolved, but a new problem emerged: the main “Events” menu item is no longer clickable. Users can only access the dropdown to click “Catering,” but cannot navigate to the Events page itself. The helper indicated this appears to be a theme-level issue unrelated to the CSS fix provided.

Added a sub menu under the “events” page called “catering” but when the dropdown occurs, it looks weird and there is a box around it. See images below.
Only thing I’ve done is added some custom css (code below) for uppercase, spacing and size - not sure if thats the issue or something else?
I might be missing something but its not possible to click on the “events” menu item anymore to take you to the events page? Once clicked, it only allows you to click on the dropdown for “catering”. Have I done something wrong here?
