I am using the Eunoia theme at http://www.truthfinding.co.uk. I was wondering if there was a way to get the sliding menu pointer (css class .menu_pointer) to slide under the navigation when first landing on the home page or a page that is not under the master navigation. ie. it works fine here http://www.truthfinding.co.uk/in-short-we-find-out-the-truth/ but doesn't slide into place here http://www.truthfinding.co.uk or when navigating to a page that is accessed from outside the main navigation eg. http://www.truthfinding.co.uk/contact-us/.

Thanks in advance

Hi Dominic,

Not that I know of, though let me tag the rest of the support crew in case anyone else has an idea.

Hi

I have found that one way is to make sure that those pages are in the main navigation menu and if you put them into a third level/second child then they should be hidden from the main navigation as the theme only supports one child. The issue with this is that the third level/second child appears on rollover off to the right of the page in "no mans land" outside the main wrapper.

Perhaps a solution is to add code to hide the third level /second child?

Any thoughts if that is a good fix and how to do that?

Maybe something like:

#top .main_menu .menu li ul li ul {
    display: none;
}

#top .main_menu .menu li ul li ul {
    visibility: hidden;
}

Hmmm, that solution isn't so cool after all as the trick also activates its active parent item which defeats the object.

Is there a way of making all other pages not meant to be in the main navigation live under their own parent (eg called "other") as, say, the 5th item in the main/primary menu and then hide that 5th item using fifth-child or something?

Here is a fix - do as I said above and put all pages not wanted in the nav in a 5th menu item in the main nav. Then add this to the style sheet.

.main_menu ul > li:nth-child(5) > a {
display: none;
}

If it is the 6th menu item then change to

.main_menu ul > li:nth-child(6) > a {
display: none;
}

etc etc

.main_menu ul > li:first-child + li + li + li + li > a {
display: none;
}
