Problem with "Ignore Parent Clicks"

    Hi there,

    I’ve got a problem where parent clicks are not being ignored. I’ve had a look, at the relevant class is being added to the parent, as well as preventDefault being bound to the “a” element as per your code (in responsive-menu/app/models/JSModel.php). However, the menu is still closed when a parent menu item is clicked. I can’t seem to figure out why? Perhaps it needs to be unbound using .off() with the relevant namespace, as the order of binding is preventing it from working correctly?

    Could you please take a look for me or provide some insight?

    Hi Jarrod,

    Have you definitely ticked the “Ignore parent click” option in the admin? If so please can you send me an email with FTP/WP admin details as this is not a problem I have ever come across before.

    All the best

    Hi there,

    Thanks for the reply. I’m 100% sure it’s ticked. When unticked, the class isn’t added nor is “preventDefault” being bound to the parent “a” element. Hence my confusion!

    I’ll send an email through to support at responsive.menu.

    Thanks,
    Jarrod.

    Hi there again,

    I think I misunderstood what the “Ignore parent click” option does. I assumed the option would prevent anything from happening at all with the parent click (including the closing of the menu). However, it seems that it’s only ignoring the parent href.

    I have 3 parent categories, with several pages under each. The pages to go different pages in wordpress. If I disable the option to “Close menu on link clicks” it works fine. However, on other pages I have a menu that uses link clicks to jump around the page. With the option disabled it doesn’t work correctly on that page as the menu stays open.

    You can see this behaviour at https://allc.asia/leadership-essentials/ (with screen < 980px)

    Thanks,
    Jarrod.

    Hi Jarrod,

    Apologies I have been away on holiday for a while but am back now.

    The Ignore Parent Click just disable the link so that the parent link can be used as a way of toggling menu items as well as the arrows.

    There may be a way around this if you work with your web developer or JS developer to over-ride or create custom code for your specific request but unfortunately the plugin itself is unable.

    All the best
