I just updated Atahualpa to its newest version - and my dropdown menu above the header image (created with wordpress > design > menu) is not working anymore. The menu bar is there, but the drop down is not showing anymore. After testing I found out that the changed lines in bfa_header_config.php (// Header Image) are causing the issue. If I replace this file with the old one ( 3.7.15) it works again.

Is there anyway I can fix this without having to replace the file everytime I update?
Thanks in advance!

Not without knowing a bit more about what you are doing. Are you using a plugin to do the drop downs? What is your url? what version did you upgrade from? what version of WP are you on? are you using rotating images? fade in/out?

I just tested it and I'm seeing the dropdown menu on my site.

Hi!

I am not using a plugin for the menu, the site url is: www.lehrkunst.ch

Sorry, I sent my previous response to early:
- I do not have a rotating header image, and no fade in/out
- I upgraded from 3.7.15 to 3.7.18
- I work with the newest WP version (4.0) - I just upgraded WP before upgrading Atahualpa, and it did work before

could you export your settings (ATO->export/import) and attach it to a reply

here you have the exported settings - although I control most of my settings with the style.css of my child theme...

I found a solution myself in the meantime:
If I set the z-index of ul.rMenu li to 4 (instead of 1) in my style.css it seams to work...
But as Im not a programmer, Im not sure if this ist the best solution...

ul.rMenu li {
position: relative;
z-index: 4;
}

well if you are using a child theme and making changes to the CSS in it's style.css there is not much I can help you with. If you are just using the child theme to make CSS changes might I suggest you use teh ATO->Add HTML/CSS Inserts->CSS Inserts and then your chnages become a theme option and you don't need to worry about using a child theme.

I would advise swapping to the main Athualpa theme and then seeing if the drop downs work. If they do, it will verify that the issue is with your CSS. Since you have found a solution you should be good to go.

Just to let you know, in the 5 years I've been using the theme I've only had one or two cases that I could see the need for a child theme with Atahualpa and they were because of a plugin being used.

Hi, ok - I think, I will have to go with my solution...
After working for a long time only with the CSS Inserts, I had to switch to using a child theme because working with a proper .css file is just much easier.
Thanks for your time anyway!
