Navigation Menu Block issues
3 replies · Started by bjbowen on May 31, 2022
I used the Top Bar widget to create the top bar menus.
I added the menus to the Top Bar Widget using the Navigation Menu block.
I then had to position the menus with CSS (not sure why some were styled to specific positions out of the box, but I had to change all of that)
The problem is that the drop-down menus are not working.
Once you hover over the phone, location, or email icons, you *should* see a drop down menu. But, it doesn't show. (website details are in the Private Information box.)
I started to write the CSS to make this work, but I shouldn't have to do that.
What is going wrong here? I've never had problems adding menus to the Top Bar widget before and I can't figure out if this is a problem with GeneratePress or a problem with the new WordPress navigation changes.
Can you please help?
Hi there,
The navigation menu widget is a WP legacy widget, GP has no control over it.
I would recommend using Secondary navigation instead:

As WP Theme developers, does your team know why that widget is no longer working properly?
Can't use the Secondary Nav for this layout.
Thanks!

I think WP is turning towards using blocks completely.
You can try using a block element and WP's navigation block, it should work better.
