I've found that when I deactivate contact form 7, the drop down menu loads fine on all browsers on Windows and Mac apart from internet explorer. I'm testing it on ie8 at the moment. Could there any reason why it's just ie that's doing this? </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/thematic-gallery-theme-drop-down-menu-error-in-safari#post-11480 Fri, 16 Apr 2010 13:19:06 +0000 em hr 11480@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>It's the combination of your stylesheet and the superfish javascript that is providing the code that hides the dropdowns in the navigation. It could be that there your site/hosting is choking on too many http requests and the source code is loading before the stylesheets and/or scripts are finished. </p> <p>Here are some basic suggestions:<br /> 1. Have you tried clearing your browser cache and then reloading the page using the plugin listed above.<br /> 2. Can you provide a link to the site with the problem here. It'd be easier to diagnose/help you with a working example of the site.<br /> 3. Have you tried deactivating plugins one by one and seeing if that helps.</p> <p>-Gene </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/thematic-gallery-theme-drop-down-menu-error-in-safari#post-11479 Fri, 16 Apr 2010 13:05:49 +0000 em hr 11479@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Hi been, </p> <p>I've deleted the other thread and moved your more detailed problem description to your first post in this thread. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/thematic-gallery-theme-drop-down-menu-error-in-safari#post-11478 Fri, 16 Apr 2010 12:57:37 +0000 been 11478@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Yes, I've tried that but it hasn't made a difference for me.

(As a usability guy, I'm not a fan of "null links" but that is off topic.) </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/creating-a-placeholder-in-the-menu#post-9319 Sat, 30 Jan 2010 00:46:18 +0000 hyermish 9319@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>I use a combination of plug-ins to basically handle anything that I would want menus to do:</p> <p>1. Page Links To - <a href="http://txfx.net/code/wordpress/page-links-to/" rel="nofollow">http://txfx.net/code/wordpress/page-links-to/</a><br /> This one allows you to create a page for the navigation, and have it point to anything: page, post, category, other site, etc. You still create the page as always, but the plug-in makes a permanent redirect so you don't need to put any content into the page that you make.</p> <p>2. Page Menu Editor - <a href="http://www.stuffbysarah.net/wordpress-plugins/page-menu-editor/" rel="nofollow">http://www.stuffbysarah.net/wordpress-plugins/page-menu-editor/</a><br /> This allows you to edit the text found in the navigation to something short like "About Us" but have the title of the page be "About XYZ Industries, Inc."</p> <p>3. Exclude Pages from Navigation - <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exclude-pages/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exclude-pages/</a><br /> This allows you to have pages that will not appear in the navigation, good for privacy, terms/conditions, etc. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/creating-a-placeholder-in-the-menu#post-9318 Sat, 30 Jan 2010 00:33:47 +0000 TimR 9318@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Evening all,</p> <p>Apologies if this has been covered, but as always its knowing how to phrase the question. I would like to create a 'placeholder' menu item on the drop-down menu. For example, if a parent page has children pages (so that a drop down menu appears), the parent page can easily be missed. I would like to make that parent a 'null link' so it doesn't actually link to anything, it just initiates the menu. I know its possible with a CMS like Joomla, can this be done with the thematic theme? </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/thematic-gallery-theme-drop-down-menu-error-in-safari#post-7799 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 12:37:39 +0000 NativePaul 7799@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Hi Chris</p> <p>Thanks for the WP CSS tip.<br /> It seems to speed the site up a bit.
