Drop down won’t drop down.

Hi Ryan

Thanks for the plugin.

I’ve followed all the directions and here’s what I get.

I’m sure it must be simple as no one else seems to be having this
problem. I scoured the forum.

Could you take a look. Thanks
Ty

oh, i used the css from the generator, didn’t modify it.
i’m using firefox
and i followed the directions exactly. pasted the css in the
plugin location.

thanks

Something is wrong with one of the plugin files, it is the file which serves the CSS to the browser hence your menu is just displaying as a plain unordered list with no styling … http://markgrowden.org/blog/wp-content/ … /style.php

First try reinstalling the plugin, if that fails, then try changing the file permissions as the error seems to be mentioning write access makes me wonder if it is a permission problem perhaps (I’m not sure what sort of problem it could be but it may be worth trying).

Failing that, just disable the plugins CSS file via the settings page and copy and paste your CSS into your themes CSS file. That should solve your problem.

Thanks, for plug-in.  One week in and it’s time to call for help.  This is what i’ve got:  http://www.showerlife.com

the menu shows up, but the children don’t drop down.  i don’t believe i’ve adjusted the CSS besides the color of the border.  CSS is

#suckerfishnav {
    background:#8f7200 url("../multi-level-navigation-plugin/images/suckerfish_blue.png") repeat-x;
    font-size:13px;
    font-family:helvetica,sans-serif;
    font-weight:bold;
    width:100%;
    }
#suckerfishnav, #suckerfishnav ul {
    float:left;
    list-style:none;
    line-height:40px;
    padding:0;
    border:1px solid #aaa;
    margin:0;
    width:100%;
    }
#suckerfishnav a {
    display:block;
    color:#dddddd;
    text-decoration:none;

It seems to be working fine for me. Perhaps this is a browser specific problem?

The <div id="nav" … tag is possibly causing you problems, plus your theme has placed a carriage return before the Doctype (which is not allowed).

Thanks Ryan,

i was able to ferret out some issues which has gotten it to the level you see.  i apologize for not updating the progress sooner.  it now works as it should, but only on the home page.  Of course this appears to be an issue with the theme and not your plugin.  I appreciate your analysis and hope that if you have time/inclination you might share any insight on how to repair that brokeness.  Thanks, again.
