how to create drop down menu to go only to child pages?

    Under services I want to list 5 separate pages each with their own title. Can I disable the Menu Word ‘Services’ but still keep it as a heading? i.e. so they only go to the 5 pages with specific titles below the word Services?

    i.e. Services is only an empty heading word & real pages are listed in drop down menu.

    You are using a custom menu, right?

    Use a “Custom Link” for Services. Once you’ve added it to the menu, delete its URL. Save the menu. Mischief managed!

    Maybe I should do a tutorial on custom menu tricks sometime.

    Great demo link, thanks. Followed it carefully but I wonder, should the Services Page still exist as a page? Still if click on Menu word it still goes to Services empty page. (I deleted it and put it back in again) Can you see what I’ve done wrong by any chance?

    Probably not. Remember, you set this up as a custom link, so technically speaking, there is nothing there at that menu item. If that page isn’t serving any useful purpose, I would delete it.

    Before you delete it, you might want to edit those child pages and make them “not child” pages. “No Parent” is the option you are going for.

    Um…can’t see the nav-menus.php without an admin login.
