Can’t move down the list.

[jrmalone]

I think your plugin is great.

The menu pops up but disappears when I try to move down the list. I moved the bar up in my header file and noticed the it would let me move down the list until it went over the content container of the site then the same. Haven’t made any mods to css. Added in wp setting. Same in all browsers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yikes, that flash banner is a little hard on the eyes!

You don’t seem to have the plugin installed. Let me know if you are still needing help and I’ll take another look for you.

[jrmalone]

Sorry. I was messing with the site last night and forgot to reactive the plugin.

Yeah the flash is just a temp.

Could you take another look.

Thanks

Taking another look … but it’s still not installed

Hopefully no one has a seisure after visiting your site. That flashing banner sure is irritating.

Hello,

I have the same problem, however the only menu item I can’t move down is over the left column (Pages).  See:  http://www.mybabyboomers.com/blog.

To test this, I narrowed the left column to stop before the Pages menu.  It would drop down and I could move down the list. I added "<div style="clear:both"></div>" to the header below the menu code but that didn’t help.  I’ve re-expanded the left column to move below the Pages menu so you can see the problem.

I suspect you are having z-index issues, try adding the following to the end of your CSS to correct it.

[code:2nks92kw]
#suckerfishnav li ul,#suckerfishnav li li ul,#suckerfishnav li li,#suckerfishnav li li li {z-index:100}
[/code:2nks92kw]

Ryan, that solved the problem.  Thanks! 

Another question, is there or will there be a third level of the menu, I would like to see a list of the individual pages that make up the categories listed in the second level.  If there is a third level, I will buy a premium subscription in the expectation that this menu is what I am looking for.  (should I raise this under a new topic?)

Thanks.  Boyd

The CSS generator supports four levels, both the free version and premium version. So in a typical dropdown, there is the top level, the dropdown, then a flyout from the dropdown, then another flyout from that flyout.

If you need more levels than this then you will need to sign up for premium membership and I’ll add the extra levels. That is an awful lot of levels for your menu to have though! It would become very complicated for anyone to navigate with any more than that. I generally try to avoid using anything more than a simple single level dropdown or vertical flyout.

Ryan, Thanks for the confirmation.  I will buy the premium subscription and get to the bottom of why I can get only two levels to work on my site.  Boyd

I see you have now signed up ” title=”Smiley” />

Could you do me a favour? If you receive any emails, or are sent anything automatically by the forum which mentions a hotmail address, could you let me know? I keep receiving emails to my hotmail address and I thought I’d fixed it, but somehow the occasional premium member is receiving messages from that address and I can’t track down what is causing it. I must have added that address somewhere in the software and I think I’ve removed every instance of it now, but I just want to check as I rarely use that hotmail account. Thanks ” title=”Smiley” />

Hello Ryan, I picked up your hotmail address from the Paypal screen that confirmed to whom I had made a payment.

Regarding the third and fourth level flyouts at http://www.mybabyboomers.com/blog.

I have set the a menu item to: Archives (years) Dropdown.  When I hover, the dropdown of years (2008) appears, but when I hover over 2008, the flyout of months doesn’t happen and naturally, the next flyout of articles doesn’t happen.

Can you tell me how to fix this?

Thanks.

Boyd

ps:  I’ve submitted a message in the Premium Forum ” title=”Smiley” />

[imported_Ryan]

Hi,
I’ve replied to your question in the premium forum too.

The Archive (Years) dropdown only displays links to ‘years’, there are no flyouts to show the blog posts from those years. I’m not sure how to do that either. It probably is possible, but I don’t think you can do it using the basic WP functions.

Ryan, I’m starting a new blog and I hate to admit this, but I’ve forgotten where to Insert the code you provided on October 8 above.  You said:  "I suspect you are having z-index issues, try adding the following to the end of your CSS to correct it."  Whatever I did on the other blog worked, but I can’t find that code again in the other blog.  Can you tell me where the CSS is located?  Thanks.  Boyd

Hi,
You would just add the following code to the end of the CSS for the menu:
[code:46h7z8n6]#suckerfishnav li ul,#suckerfishnav li li ul,#suckerfishnav li li,#suckerfishnav li li li {z-index:100}[/code:46h7z8n6]

So if you are using the box in the admin panel (usual way to do it) then you would add that code after the rest of the stuff in that box.

If you have any more problems, just let me know.

[boydcarter]

Ryan, by "box in the admin panel", do you mean the plugin editor box:  "Editing multi-level-navigation-plugin/index.php (active)".  I added it at the bottom and it broke it.  I tried again and added it just before the "<?php } ?>" at the bottom of the page and it accepted it, but didn’t solve the problem.  (For the site that is working, this code is not in that box.) 

http://www.mybabyboomers.com/blog/ works, but http://www.elegantsmbsolutions.com/ doesn’t.  Both sites are using the same theme.

Am I adding to the wrong "box"?
Thanks.  Boyd
