In 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?

Create your own custom menu in the admin area then you can control what shows up in the menu.

I 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!

It sounds like you are wanting the top level link to not actually click through to the page but instead display the sub navigation items. If this is the case, my recommendation would be to not have an actual link for that specific top level nav.

HI 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.

I 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!
