Hi ecotechie,

Thank you for the extra guidance and for showing me the light. Your method is perfect and works great.

Many thanks ??

Thanks for the reply ecotechie, I have not located where to place the # as you describe. I have found a workaround which seems to work by using the plugin “Post Tags and Categories for Pages”(works fine with latest version) which enables me to assign a category to a page. I created a page which says “please use drop-down menu to navigate*, I then added this page to the categories which are my menu items. In this case, if anyone specifically selects the menu item (not one of the actual drop-down items within the menu) then they are3 shown a page telling them to “please use drop-down menu to navigate”. This prevent the 404 nothing found error and guides the viewer back to the drop-down menu.

I appreciate this will highlight my inability but wanted to share it anyway.

It would be great if you can guide me more on where to place #, I would like to implement your streamlined solution if it is possible.

Searching for my own resolution to a different issue I came across a article which made a reference “certain plugins block access to the WP-Admin folder and that this is okay provided the site does not use AJAX”. I am totally new to WP and don’t really know what all this is about but maybe you have something which is preventing access to the WP-Admin folder and if that truly is a requirement for AJAX to function, this might then be a clue to help find your solution.

Apologies in advance if my reply proves useless.
