Hi People,

I am out and about to throw myself over the balcony if I don't get the
dropdown "Like navbar" menu to work on my blog. What I am talking about is
the Menu as shown on the official site of K2 <http://getk2.com/> when you
do Mouseover at the "ABOUT" menu.

Well the past weeks I have been reading a lot about it, about to get the
dropdown menu work with K2, installing something called Suckerfish &
Superfish, but I can't come trought about how it goes, maybe someone could
help me out with a DIY thread or something.

What I want to do is: http://www.getlow.es (my blog) under the header you
can see a menu that say's "Coches de invitados" means "Guest cars" in
Spanish, so I want a dropdown there were I can list the different guest
cars to a separate Page, avoiding so, having 50 menu words (one after the
other) under the header.

I would thank for some troubleshooting here.

The drop-down feature is already included in K2.

1. Create a new page, i.e. about
2. Create a second new page i.e. colophon
3. edit second new page, find attributes section, select in parent drop
down your first page

I have done that and it's definetly not working on my blog.

If you visit my blog: http://www.getlow.es, you will find:

1. Parent page "bricos"
2. Child pages "Electronica" & "motor" ....
3. They appear like this on the right side of the blog like the archives,
but not as a dropdown menu in the header.

Any idea?

Thx.

Hey Benjamin,

Your Blog use a "K2 1.0" as I see, while at my blog "K2 1.5a1" is displayed
at the meta tag. I guess the dropdown feature is only available at the most
up to date version of K2. I use the latest nightly build which can display
a dropdown menu in the header. So if it is possible to you, update your K2
to the latest version at http://getk2.com/nightly/ and don't forget to make
a backup first.

Greetings

Andreas,

I've downloaded the last version over the link you told me, tried to upload
it via the "Admin Panel" of wordpress in "Upload Theme" then I got the
error message, that a folder called K2 already exists, no problem, created
a new folder called K2 1.5 via FTP, uploaded everything into that folder
and selected the new Theme over the Theme select panel.

So My wordpress blog is actually running on the latest version, but still
not working the dropdown menu.

You can see it on: http://www.getlow.es

Do I need to configure anything else as only Page = Parent page / Child
page...????

Thank you.

Hey Benjamin,

ok I found it. The dropdown menu output is correctly generated from
wordpress/k2. You can check this in your sourcecode by looking for <div
class="headermenu"> and there are some "children" inside. But you use a lot
of plugins. I can advise you to disable the unused ones. (You also
installed the most up-to-date K2 in parallel to the old one. This should be
adjusted.) The cause of the missing dropdown menu is that you or a plugin
overwrite/reset the whole css. Check your sourcecode for

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="http://www.getlow.es?custom-css=1&csblog=1&cscache=5&c..."/>

So as a solution you have to update/change your custom css. If I remove
this line in firebug the dropdown menu is working. (Ok the whole layout
vanishes.)

Greetings.

Sorry for my delayed answer, but have been busy with my job, this weekend
i'll try to fix it following your message.

I let you know asap I got it solved (or not.. haha)

Thank you.

So, me again... today I disabled nearly all the Plugins wich seemed to
modify the CSS (like Save CSS and all that stuff)

Than I activated the new theme (K2 update, you mentioned a few posts before)

And voilà... Dropdown does work.

But...

No header image, no background image, no aside image.. well all the style
got lost, and the Plugins doesn't appear (not even if activated, like the
facebook like box) definetly I am doing something wrong.

At the end I uploaded an backup from a few weeks.. and everything is the
same again, only that I am having some trouble with the NEXt GEN Gallery
Plugin.

Andreas, would you mind if I give you my E-Mail adress and MSN, and create
you an Admin User, so you could probably help me out with that stuff, as I
am stucked here and no choice of learning by doing, as finally I will loose
stuff.

ad...@getlow.es / for E-mail and MSN Messenger (if you add me or something
let me know by Mail as I forgett sometimes about these SUpport Forums).

Thank you.

ok, you found the correct plugin which you have to deactivate to get the
Drop-Down menu working. I will write you a personal message.
