Menu item that is also a link

Post by Carolek » Sun Nov 21, 2021 6:04 am

Hello everyone,
I want to create a menu that is both a link that opens a new page and also opens a submenu with additional links. What type of menu item should I choose?

Thanks for answering.

To choose a menu item type will only depend of what type of page should be opened, not related to sub-menus.

Hi, first thanks for your reply. I know how to build a menu with a submenu as in the example. If we take the example you sent in the first link, the "DOGS" and "CATS" should lead me to a new page as well. And right now I can 't do that. If I put the menu type "article" it does not open it at all. If I put menu type "Internal url", it only opens for me when I ask to open in a new window (new without navigation), otherwise, it does not open. Would appreciate help.

It must be template related. Do you have some sort of drop-down configuration.

Test with Protostar as template.

Do you have a link to the page?

Hi
I talked to the template owner. He confirmed to me that this is not possible in his template. Thanks.
