Collapse Submenus by Default

    Hi. I hope this is the right place to post this. I’m not sure if it’s a WordPress issue or a theme issue. In case it helps, I’m using Weaver Xtreme for my theme. I want to use submenus in my site, but I wasn’t sure how to make the top level of the menu not go anywhere, so I followed directions I found on a couple different websites. I created a custom link menu item for the name of the menu, put ‘#’ in the field for the link, and then moved that to the top of the menu and moved other items under it. This works well in most ways, although I’m open to other ways of creating menus if they would work or look better, but the menus seem to stay expanded by default. I can collapse them by clicking the top level link in the menu, but for accessibility reasons and because I think it would look better, I’d like to have the menus collapsed by default. Is there a way I can change them to make them collapsed by default? I don’t know CSS, but I’m willing to edit CSS somewhere if needed. Thanks.

    Have you resolved this since the time you’ve posted this topic? The sub-menu is only open on hover, it doesn’t stay open. If this is resolved, when you have a spare moment please mark this topic as resolved. Thanks.

    I’ll take another look at this. It may be an accessibility issue. I’m blind and use a screen reader and the menus don’t seem to be collapsed for me when I move over them with my screen reader’s review modes. I’ll mark this as resolved and repost in the accessibility forum if there’s still an issue.

    Ah, OK. Yeah, it works as expected visually. It’s quite likely what happens on a screen reader is different. I don’t know enough of screen readers to comment further. WP core only provides an unordered list of links as a menu. Menu appearance and behavior is the responsibility of your theme. You may need to go back to the theme’s developer for a solution. Feel free to repost in accessibility if you think it’ll help. Thanks for coming back and clarifying.
