Menu Structure Problem

    I am having trouble constructing menus in my top navigation bar / header. I am using the Divi theme, Divi Builder, a PC, and Windows 7.

    I go to Appearances | Menus and select all my pages. They all appear in the nav bar and are called up normally when I click on them. However, if I have a content page called OUR TEAM and place pages COACHES and FANS beneath it and drag them to the right, a problem develops. OUR TEAM appears in the top nav bar with a downward arrow to its right. Hovering over OUR TEAM shows COACHES and FANS in the drop down and I can call them up by clicking on them. However, I cannot call up the OUR TEAM page. Nothing happens when I click it.

    I saw one site where the top level page appeared both in the top Nav position and in the drop down with its “child” pages and the top level page was accessed in that manner. I can’t find a way to do this.

    How can I access my top level page? I’ve tried a number of things but can’t make anything work. Thanks for any help.

    I have no experience with the Divi theme, however to get the top level page in the child page list just create another menu item that’s the same as the top level page and drag it to the top of the child page list.

    It’s not the best way to do it, for good usability the top level page should also be clickable. I guess the theme author didn’t add that in for some reason.

    I had trouble doing this — maybe I used the wrong steps — but I could not create another menu item with the same name in the routine way.

    However, someone from the Facebook group suggested something that worked for me. Namely, create a custom link to the URL of the parent page, name it the same as the parent page (this worked), and then place the custom link in the top of the child page list. So far so good.

    Thanks for taking the time to offer help.
