Why is the menu parent link not working in Dawn theme?

Hi everyone!
We’ve just set up navigation menus and it seems as soon as we add a dropdown, the main menu heading no longer follows the link to the main page, it only drops down the submenu options..
We’re using Dawn theme. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Picture attached for reference, we want to be able to click on ‘wholesale direct’ and be directed to that collection page..

Hi AvadaCommerce,

I have gone here and set this menu navigation item to redirect to a collection, however the menu item still drops down and doesn’t redirect :disappointed_face:

Oh also in the example you just gave, I am talking about the “catalogue” menu item… not the submenu underneath. If there is nothing underneath in navigation, the ‘catalogue’ option would be a clickable link to go to whichever page is linked.. however once I add the ‘Menu 1’ submenu item in navigation (using your example), ‘catalogue’ becomes no longer clickable.

Hi @VoozDogSupplies ,

you obviously found a solution looking at your shop! Would be awesome if you would let us know, how it worked!

Chatting with the support, they said it is not the purpose of a menu-parent-item to redirect anywhere. It only shall show the child items…

But I am not sure if that holds true…

Hi everyone, sorry for not replying I was away from the store for a while.
The solution I found was an app called Buddah Mega Menu. I’m using the free version and not only does it allow me to do what I was trying to do, I can make the menu fancier than I planned with mega menu style and emoji’s.
I wasn’t able to find a solution on the basic theme but with a free app don’t need to.
