Dropdown menus not working - danville - 2021-10-10
I have installed several themes and accompanying plugins and the drop down menus do not work.
I was able to get Bootstrap3 to work and then the dropdown menu function stopped without any reason. I did not changed anything on the site or on my web space.
Why do so many dropdown menu themes not work? I use Net*****.com But I have tried on 4 different server builds (all Apache2)

I have the requisite basic installation and plugins that go with an initial installation
GetSimple Verision 3.3.16
Bootstrap3 Theme
Bootstrap3 Plugin
PHP 7.3.2

Dropdown menus were working with Bootstrap3 ONLY and are not working now.
There were no changes in the provider or set up.
What needs to be in place to have dropdown menus working in Innovation, Cardinal, and Bootstrap3 (as well as others)?

Hi,
You have the jquery library called 2 times:
1) first time in the header
Code:
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js?v=1.7.1"></script>2) second time in the footer
Code:
<script src="http://earthscienceiscool.net/theme/Bootstrap3/js/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"></script>RE: Dropdown menus not working - Timbow - 2021-10-12

One of the great things about GS is that you can have all kinds of menus, any you can think of, but it requres the excellent I18N plugin and a little care. There is a simple summary at http://get-simple.info/wiki/multi-level_navigation. There are detailed instructions at http://mvlcek.bplaced.net/get-simple/multi-level-navigation
Typically for say 3 levels of drop-down/fly-out you need:
- Pages marked for inclusion in the menu and placed in the child-parent heirarchy
- I18N plugin to generate nested lists of menu links
- A template with the navigation links inserted by something like
<div class="sitemenu">
<ul><?php get_i18n_navigation(return_page_slug(),0,2,I18N_SHOW_MENU); ?></ul>
</div>
- CSS in a theme which will display the nested lists as drop-down/fly-out blocks on hover
- Very few themes work on CSS alone, so normally jquery or something needs to be included in the right place in the page

Hi,
I noticed an access permission problem with a jquery library.
The website seems to work ok now.
Was it a permission problem or something else ?

It's open to all and you would be welcome. Theming is easy in GetSimple. Start with the wiki on this site, there is a quick tutorial there, a little old but still good.
