I have created some pages and some pages have children.When i go to the wp admin menu,i create new menu and drag all the pages,including ones with children pages.I notice that the menus are all displayed without the cool drop downs i had hoped to see.

Does it mean that menus created in the wp admin cannot have drop down menus?.

Dropdown menu is something that handles by CSS or javascript (in some case) So a your theme should take care of that not the wordpress engine. When you add a nested menu items on wordpress menu that means wordpress will output a specific html structure for that menu.

<ul>
<li></li>
<li></li>
<li>
    <ul class="sub-menu">
         <li></li>
         <li></li>
    </ul>
</li>
</ul>

So, your theme css will have to use appropiate css to handle the dropdown funcitonality. Hope it clear.

  • Okay,i am getting that.Take the theme twenty ten discussed here: en.support.wordpress.com/menus In the header i have <?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'container_class' => 'menu-header', 'theme_location' => 'primary' ) ); ?> .Does it mean that no matter how arrange my custom menus,i shall use the css class menu-headerm and not write new css to handle the custom menus?. – Gandalf Dec 15 '11 at 10:29

    yes, if you have a class called .menu-header which handles the css (in case of twenty ten. Sorry, don't have too much experience with default themes) for the menu then you can use it.. – Sisir Dec 15 '11 at 10:40
