I'm really hoping someone can assist me with formatting issues I am having with my twentyeleven child theme based of actual twentyeleven shipped with latest version of WordPress.

Basically the main issue I am having is the built-in menu system, that I am using - it basically won't work on my iPhone or iPad when I attempt to press on menu items that have sub-menu-items, i.e. children menu items.

For example, see:> http://bit.ly/FP9tAG

As a scenario, if you press the "Home" menu, which has sub-menu-items "About Us" and "HubWorks Link", the "About Us" menu has child menu items but the "HubWorks Link" doesn't, which does work, when pressing on it.

FYI, the "About Us" menu item is a Custom Link/placeholder that doesn't have any URL in it, I just use it to separate it's children - could this be the problem or do I need to change it?

Some of the formatting is also out of whack but it's more the menu items I am trying to sort out on mobile devices.

Any help would be great as I really would like this site to work on mobile devices as it functions correctly on pc browsers.

Thanks. sp.

Can you provide a link?

There is a plugin that setups up a mobile version of your site:

wp touch

You can also use conditional css or a different template for different mobile browsers...

For instance:

<?php if ( $is_iphone ) {?>
//my custom css or template

Have a read here

If you're using a child theme (you should be!) this is useful: responsivetwentyten.com

Just seen the link you provided, apologies! Answers still valid though! – itsdanprice Mar 17 '12 at 15:21
thanks for that itsdanprice. link is actually in my question above, next to the text "For example, see:>". further to this, do you think I need to apply wp touch or responsivetwentyten plugin even though I'm using twentyeleven theme? Will these plgins fix my menu issue? – softprinciples Mar 18 '12 at 12:46
You have to think of the plugins as being a 'child theme' to your site, a mobile version if you like. WP Touch will give an entirely new mobile theme, where as responsivetwentyten should give you something more like your original site. – itsdanprice Mar 19 '12 at 12:01
Best thing to do is install them and have a play around! – itsdanprice Mar 19 '12 at 12:01
