Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 23,565 PointsIn the Project; "From Bootstrap to Wordpress" my "example pages" link in the nav is...
...actually going to an example pages page. I don't want this page to work, rather when clicked on in the nav it simply shows the dropdown of child pages.
How do I do this?

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 23,565 PointsI tried this Zac, was I clear enough in my question? I'll persevere as I think I can work with it anyway, thanks for the fast response!

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 23,565 PointsHow would I do that on WordPress Jason? Somewhere in the admin section?

3,059 PointsHI Darren, I'll piggy back off of what Zac was recommending. In your Dashboard, go to Appearance > Menus and Create a new Link. You don't have to give it a URL, you can always just use # to reference itself. Make that new Link the top level link and then add your sub navigation links below it. Make sure you add them as child links and not sibling links, if that makes sense.

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 23,565 PointsI got it! I had tried to create a link previously leaving the URL blank which wouldn't work. I put the # in and all's well. Thanks Jason and Zac!
