Submenu without Page in Page List?

    Please forgive but I’m very new to this. And I only just got into the new editor with theme 2022.

    This is all an exercise in converting my old blogspot blog into a portfolio with pages.

    So I created the pages to create the navigation menu. And I created the pages that would make up the submenu. Then I realized I don’t really need the original page, just the pages for the submenu. In other words, for the “Social” link I have no content to put on that page since I’ve parsed it out on the subpages.

    Is there a way to have the “Social” just be a container for the sublinks without a page connected to it? I tried to trick it by building it and deleting the page and, of course, this also deleted the nav item.

    Thanks if advance.

    ALSO, when I am working in the nav box and adding submenus, either the both the text and background of the Add New section are both white or it simply doesn’t display what I’m typing. I can add the submenus and link them but I can’t see them. Why is that? Can I fix that?

    Actually, I had a notion and it seems to have worked. I don’t know why I didn’t think of it before.

    I simply deleted the link associated with the original Social nav item. I still have the page Social, but no link to get there.

    Let me know if there is some reason not to use that method.

    Hi @clarenancy!

    I was going to suggest the exact same approach: adding # as the link for the parent menu item, as seen in the screenshot below:

    Are you seeing this?:

    Tt2 navigation

    If so, I think you might have run into this issue:

    There is no workaround at the moment but the core team is aware of it and working on a solution ??

    I hope that helps!

    Thanks Alvaro!
    Yes, you must select the text in order to see it in the drop down.

    What is the purpose of the # in the link instead of leaving it blank?

    And there is a downside to this solution. On the phone, when you view the navigation it looks completely different and confusing when your phone is vertical.

    Eventually all but my About link will have sublinks.

    So… if you see the screen shot I’ve linked, the links are presented as a list, but the list has a huge gap between the parent link and the sublinks. I would think the gap would serve better between the unrelated links.

    For instance:

    Posters

    Booklets & Brochures

    Logos & Illustrative
    Logos
    Illustrative

    Motion
    Motion 1
    Motion 2
    Motion 3

    etc…

    And when I click the parent link (is that the true terminology for this?) it takes me to the home page.

    SO, I think I would be prudent to go ahead and link the page and provide the sublinks in there for mobile users who go astray.

    I was hoping to learn some wordpress with this exercise but so far I’m learning that DreamWeaver is pretty easy to use. LOL

    Thanks again.
