Menu Woes

lofty · 2016-05-23 04:49:13

Evening Guys,

Having a real issue with my new menu here: http://njp.kopstone.co.uk on my test site!

Created 3 albums. 1 for the Home page, hidden from the galleries album-set and 2 to show.

My Menu has only 3 items: galleries, blog, contact. The last two are set to external urls for testing and the galleries link is set to the galleries album set.

My issue is that; rather than show the 2 albums as a drop-down in hover, the galleries link just points to the home page. The blog and contact menu items continue to point to default locations of /blog and /contact.

I have removed everthing and re-created from scratch etc. etc. I guess I'm missing something simple here.

Any help greatly appreciated.

have you tried things like clearing the template cache?

Hey Rod,

Yes, cleared template cache, and cleared the browser cache as well. (

have you tried a forum search? I seem to remember a similar issue in the past week or so. Just can't remember if it was resolved and if it was, what the resolution is.

I don't see any drop down menus at all, either on-screen or in the source code. I'm not sure why the "menu-item-has-children" class is being applied to the "galleries" menu when there are no children. Ben will probably need to chime in here. The menu pointing to the wrong place is probably something to do with .htaccess pathing.

Really strange now....

I have removed all items from my menu except the gallleries item. My menu is the only menu and it is assigned to the correct page template. Cleared my browser cache, cleared the template cache and also used an alternate browser. However the 3 menu items still show on the home page! Galleries still points to the home page etc.

I renamed the .httaccess files in the root and in the galleries directory, tried adding url and relative links. Nothing seems to shift what I have on the page (

You might want to kick Ben an email with FTP and admin logins.

OK Matt, will do.

Hi Ben, have sent you an email with login details.

Hi Lofty,
I had a problem with some funny nested menu issues that required me to delete rows from the database as orphans had been left behind after deleting via Publisher. I've not recreated the problem as I have been busy preparing for an exhibition. Deleting the orphans cleared the menu issue or at least cleared the redundant Galleries choices from the menu-set combo.
Ben advised me what to do with the access to the database.
Regards,
TomO

Ooh, good shout Tom, thanks for the input!

I'll wait for Ben to get back to me, think it's night time in Aussie land right now.....

lofty · 2016-05-24 05:09:25

OK, that sorted it.

Deleted everything, started again and did it properly this time Back on track, but no idea what was going on...

Thanks for your help Ben.
