    Hi there,
    I just switched over to the Wanderer theme and I noticed that the drop-down menus I had set up for my sidebar menu no longer work as drop downs – the menu now just lists all of the pages and categories at the same level. For example, I had a Page set to drop down and show a number of my blog Categories under it. Now they are just all listed right in the sidebar.
    Anyone have any suggestions for this?
    Thanks!

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi Paul, the Wanderer theme doesn’t support dropdown menus because of the way the navigation is setup in the flyout sidebar.

    You could set that menu up with submenu items again and style the submenus to be indented underneath their parents to show the hierarchy that you want.

    Actually that’s what I was trying to do as a backup but it doesn’t seem that the submenus will appear indented either. Unless I’m not doing that correctly. Can you style it that way through the regular menus customizer in WordPress?
    Thanks for the help.

    You can’t style them via the menu editor, but you can set it up like a submenu like you had it before, and then I can show you some custom styles you can use to indent the submenus.

    Oh that’s ok, I think I’ll just leave it as is. It might end up being simpler and more streamlined this way anyway, with fewer words and menu options for people to read through.
    Really appreciate the help though!

    I am having the same issue. I would like to know what those style options are, please. Thank you.

    @englishadventuress Try using this custom CSS to left align the menu text and add indentions for sub menu items:

    
.main-navigation li {
    margin: 15px;
    text-align: left;
}
