Listify supports dropdown menus (also called submenus) within the Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary navigation areas. You can create multi-level dropdowns, though we recommend keeping the structure simple with no more than 2–3 levels for usability.

Steps to Create a Dropdown Menu

1. Go to Appearance > Menus in your WordPress dashboard.
2. Create or select an existing menu you want to edit.
   • If you don’t already have a menu, click “create a new menu”, give it a name, then click Save Menu.
3. Add menu items from the left panel (Pages, Custom Links, Categories, etc.) by checking the boxes and clicking Add to Menu.
4. Rearrange items to create a dropdown:
   • Drag a menu item slightly to the right beneath the item you want it to appear under.
   • This nesting creates a dropdown (submenu) under the top-level item.
   • Repeat to add more sub-items or to create multiple levels, but avoid going deeper than 2–3 levels for best usability.

   

5. Assign the menu to a location such as Primary, Secondary, or Tertiary under Menu Settings.
6. Click Save Menu to apply your changes.

Additional Tips

• Hover effects and dropdown behavior may vary based on the theme styling.
• Use clear, short labels for submenu items to keep the navigation user-friendly.
• If dropdowns are not displaying as expected on the frontend, make sure your theme supports multi-level menus and that no conflicting CSS or plugins are affecting it.
