Hi,

I have upgraded to Wordpress 3.0 and Atahualpa 3.5.1 in my test area.

When I view the drop down menus in Firefox, IE or Chrome I am seeing some white space, which was previously filled under WordPress 2.9.2.

I can't upgrade my production site until this is fixed. Is there a fix for this ?

Example is here, hover over the tabs:

Thanks,

Patrick.

I am having the same problem...but worse. I have multi-level menus and they're no longer displaying properly. Compare WordPress 2.9.2 (http://www.flyingmair.com/) with WordPress 3 (http://www.arizonaphotoadventures.com/)

Please advise of a fix when you have one.

Are you using the new WP 3 menu option. This is not currently supported with Atahualpa

No, I'm not. I'm just using Atahualpa with the same settings I used under WordPress 2.9.2.

I am experiencing the same problem. The problem was present with WP3 & Atahualpa 3.4.6, 3.4.9, and now 3.5.1.

The width setting for the page menu does not work properly any longer.

Without the animation activated in 3.5.1, the child menus open directly over the parent menu.

I am also having the same problems with Multi tiered menus using Wordpress 3.0 and Atahualpa 3.4.9.

I had the same problem here and as a work around am using the following code to increase the width of the sub menus.

ul.children li.page_item {
width: 14em;
}

Thanks for this code. It fixed the width problem. But it did not fix the multi-level menu problem -- the each sub-menu level opens on top of the previous level.

See the "Multi-Day Excursions" option here: http://www.arizonaphotoadventures.com/

I am now using the current version of Athualpa with WordPress 3.0.

I also experienced the page menu problem (currently having two levels of subpages) after upgrading to WP 3.0 today. This problem is the sole reason I registered for this forum.

It can be seen here http://baerumpikekor.no/

The page menu is at the very top left. The "OM KORET" menu is a top level page with subpages diplaying as a drop down. But the subpages of these do not display well. They overlay the siblings and it gets hard to make the right menu item visible and clickable as you move downwards. The are also white rectangles appearing. All should be red. When you visit one of the pages things get even worse.

The new javascript animation option is not activated. The maximum subpage levels options is set to 0, and changing it to 10 does not help either.

I even did a quite extensive test of Atahualpa 3.5.1 and WordPress 3.0 before upgrading the production site, but I overlooked this problem.

The only workaround I see now is promoting our sub sub pages to just sub pages.

I can see that the get_pages() function is somewhat extended in WP 3.0, but backwards compatible. Probably not to blame. More probably is thre some CSS or script interference.

In WP 3.0, trying to created a new menu:

1. You are warned that your theme does not support menus
2. Created menus may only be used in the sidebar, as a widget

The theme developer must add a statement in functions.php to tell core it supports created menus.

The Code on an above response fixes this problem.

I have added

ul.children li.page_item {

}

to the style.css file but I am sorry to say this does not fix anything here.

Update:

I should of course add this to the "Add HTM/CSS inserts" option page. That helped make the menu items wide enough. But still sub pages overlay current menu in a way that makes it hard to navigate.

I hadn't checked it to second level menus.

Thank you regardlessly lmilesw. The issues still exists with sub sub menus. I tried to restore to my previous version of Wordpress and my backup is corrupted).

Is there a manual way to revert back to the previous version of Wordpress?

If you have a database backup maybe according to some threads but I only saw a thread for downgrading from 2.8 to 2.7 and WP 3.0 is really a new animal. I am hopeful this issue will get fixed so am holding out for that. Is there a way for you to temporarily set the menus to only one sub-level?

Thank you lmilesw. I guess I wasn't sure how long this might take to correct. Not fair to expect this to be corrected in the rapid short term.

That said I think I will restructure the web page to get around this issue in the short term.

I just upgraded from WP 2.9.2 and Atahualpa 3.4.6 to WP 3.0 and Atahualpa 3.5.1. It was quick and easy, but I encountered a similar menu display bug. The width of the pages in the drop down menus became variable, rather than fixed for all items in the same menu. In some cases in which the names were short, two pages appeared side by side in the menu rather than in a proper column.

I fixed this by using the code mentioned above that set a specific column width in the CSS inserts. I'd prefer the old functionality, which I think figured out how wide to make each menu based on the contents - at least that's what I recall. In any event, I never had to think about it, now I have to choose a width for all menu drop-downs and set it in the CSS insert area.

Overall, not a big problem since I'm not using sub-sub-menus.

By the way, I'm not using the new WP 3.0 custom menus yet - although I'd like to see what they offer when I get a chance.

I have the same problem. See site http://rlog.rgtti.com/.

The fix here solves the first level menus, but it broke on second level menus. I mean, I have subpages and from the top level menu "Software" is impossible to select the subpages of the second first-level item... when the cursor hover over "Linux", submenus for it are diaplayed, and so I cannot select the submenus for "Python".

(Easier to see than to explain. ). Any help? Thanks!

Yep, I am seeing some trouble with the sub-menu stuff on the page-bar as well. I'll wait for a fix though.

The things I see are:

• arrows to indicate sub-menu have vanished;
• the "don't link first level parent items" does not work any more (the item is linked regardless of the choice here) and
• the menu-item background colour is not wide enough.

Many thanks to the one who is going to repair this. You are great.

I am seeing exactly what Carlo is seeing. I fixed the width problem with the code provided in another response, but the multi-level menus simply do not display properly and the arrows are gone.

Can get a little assurance that you folks are on this? If it's a problem you don't plan to fix, I need to switch to another theme for this site -- it's vital to the operation of my business.

Thanks.

I have discovered the issue in WordPress 3.0. One of the functions in wp3.0 has changed returning some new information that is causing a problem in Atahualpa. I'm currently working on a fix. Keep checking in, I should have something later today. (posted Friday 6/18/10 09:26 EST)

Sounds great to me. I'm not going anywhere....
