I recently updated plugins, and this error message appears at the top of my webpage.

“Please visit the Installation guide to set up your menu properly as it has been changed (remember you can easily edit header.php). If you can’t do it yourself visit Zack Design and contact us for help. Or, reinstall version 2.3.7”

I pasted the required code (below) from the installation guide but am still getting the error message. I have no coding experience and didn’t realize this error would occur with the update. Also, ?> appears at the top of the webpage as well.

<?php
if (class_exists('CSSDropDownMenu'))
 {
     $myMenu = new CSSDropDownMenu();
     /* Extra options here, like so: $myMenu->orientation="top"; */
     $myMenu->show();
 }
 ?>

Could someone help me out with this issue? Thanks!

Does this plugin work in wp 3.6.1 or higher ?

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wordpress-css-drop-down-menu/

I would like to upgrade to WordPress 3.5.2, but the instructions point me to the theme creator to see if my theme is supported. Yet the theme creator, BlogChemistry, has no contact information on their website. So I can I find out if the theme is supported? https://www.believeinhealth.biz

Does anyone have access to older versions of this plugin. I updated the plugin and now my site isn’t displaying the menu properly… any help would be greatly appreciated!

I created a menu on a website years ago with this plugin (last version 2.2.2) and haven’t updated it for fear of breaking the menu. However it went more smoothly than I imagined it would.

The only problem was because I am using it with a child theme and I would like to suggest a change to the plugin to allow the menu.css to be loaded from within the child theme

Replace lines 183-185

// Show menu.css depending on what's available
    if (file_exists(TEMPLATEPATH.'/menu.css'))
        wp_enqueue_style('wp-css-dropdown-menu-style', get_bloginfo('template_directory').'/menu.css');

with

// Show menu.css depending on what's available
    if (file_exists(get_stylesheet_directory() .'/menu.css'))
        wp_enqueue_style('wp-css-dropdown-menu-style', get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/menu.css');

I added the Dropdown Menu widget with the orientation set to ‘top’ and without updating my theme it picked up the menu perfectly. No tweaks needed!

I also managed to replicate the Stu Nicholl’s approach with the following filter and javascript (to add the drop-down indicators – I couldn’t get the regex to work for the drop class) so that it’ll still be somewhat compatible with IE6 and IE7 without javascript.

function wp_list_pages_filter($output) {
//$output = preg_replace('#class="noiframe">([\w\s]+)</a>[\s]*<ul class=\'children\'>#', 'class="noiframe drop">$1<ul class=\'children\'>', $output);
$output = preg_replace("#</a>\s+<ul class='children'>#", "<!--[if gte IE 7]><!--></a><!--<![endif]-->\n<!--[if lte IE 6]><table><tr><td><![endif]-->\n<ul class='children'>", $output);
$output = str_replace("</ul>", "</ul>\n<!--[if lte IE 6]></td></tr></table></a><![endif]-->", $output);
return $output;
}
add_filter('wp_list_pages', 'wp_list_pages_filter');

//  see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7933681/jquery-addclass-to-a-child-element
function jquery_add_drops() {
   ?>
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
         jQuery(document).ready(function(){
         jQuery("li:has(ul.children) > a").addClass('drop');
});
    </script>
    <?php
}

if (!(is_admin())) {
wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
add_action('wp_head', 'jquery_add_drops');
}

(also on pastebin https://pastebin.com/gZPrYy0A )

Maybe these could be incorporated into an update?

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/wordpress-css-drop-down-menu/

Installed the menu and created a custom menu in the Appearance > Menus using drag n drop to move items below parent menu items. Dragged the widget to the sidebar and it just appears as a long menu, no drop downs.

I can’t find the option to delete a menu item. Can someone show me?
thanks

Hi,
I’ve updated my wordpress and also updated the plugin for the drop-down menu. But the result is, that all subpages are now shown and no drop down menu is working.

With custom menu’s this isn’t working for me. It doesn’t hide the second level on default and it’s too complicated to change.

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/wordpress-css-drop-down-menu/

When i enter the code i get a second navigation bar
When i take away the code that was already there it takes away from the sides of my header.
How do i fix this?

I’ve been using this plugin to navigate a site that I’ve developed professionally. The latest version, however, seems incompatible with WP 3.1; I can no longer find the menu options to customize the menu, which means going in and messing around with the database and code manually.

Is there an alternative to this? Need the function of being able to exclude certain pages.

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/wordpress-css-drop-down-menu/

Every time this plugin gets update I have to go back and update the CSS code for it.

If you’re going to use this plugin and style it differently than the default – be sure you save a backup of your CSS somewhere.

I am trying to install the code in the header.php file of my theme, but the instruction to do it is incomplete. This statement needs to rewretten again:
——————————
■Add the required code to header.php in your WordPress theme:

orientation=”top”; */ $myMenu->show(); } ?>
You can place the above code anywhere in your theme, not just the header.
——————————-
The code is incomplete.

the disappearance of the menu class and .sf_menu ul property changes causes fatal css errors and doesn’t load at all. If I position the ul absolutely, I can see it jarbled. I’m trying to figure out what to change, but as for now I’m trying to revert back to the old version.

Installed it and
1) it changed the header menus and installed something which is of a different colour with same new one top and bottom
2) the sidebar menu showed the 3x catagories but did not work
3) the graphics of the sidebard menu are rubbish and even if if did work, I would uninstall it.

Should be scrapped…..

installing this new version of the plugin will break a site. I upgraded thinking all would be fine and BAM! The entire site disappeared when I had to deactivate the plugin because of some message about seeking help through the install guide which is not complete, or hiring someone to fix the problem. OUCH!!!!!

Personally I’d like to see this removed until the person who created it figures out how to restore things to their proper configurations when removing things. Trying to uninstall and reinstall 2.3.7 results in a failure due to ‘directory already exists’ plus the install is modifying a number of files so one might just have to reinstall wordpress when this fails on them. Not impressed with the coding on this one.
