Menus
Author: Phil C.OK, im slowly learning this program (ver 12) I created a test site with pull down menus. Every thing is ok........but i have 2 concerns.
1. when i click on the pull down button and select a sub page it goes to that page, but in the top left corner it shows the Page and sub page. Like this if the Button was Contact Us then the subpage was Phone Numbers......
Contact Us
Phone Numbers
No big deal, I can live with that at the top of the page. I just can't figure how to remove it.
2. Then I was playing around and made a color change to the menu buttons, re-uploaded the files. Everything looked fine on my computer, but when I looked at it on my iphone the old color buttons were there. I had to go to my iphone do a clear history and web site data then it went to the new color buttons.....strange
Hello Phil,
You can remove the 'Page Title' in Step 1 Template Style > Text Style > Page Item > Page Title (deselect the 'Visible' checkbox under 'Style')
You can switch the 'Page Menu' off in a similar way, if desired:

As regards your second point, it is very normal to have to clear browser cache before testing. In fact, we recommend it.
Kind regards,
Paul

THANKS!
That resolved my first issue.
My second issue worries me alittle since i'm always making changes to this site.
I'm working on a union site that I would change weekly. Would it help if I use the meta tag no-cache ?
Here is my work in progress

You could use that metatag, although personally I wouldn't. You would achieve far greater control over caching if you used Cache-Control headers and/or Expires headers. Doing so would allow you to cache parts of the page, and restrict refreshes only to certain other parts of the page. This would also decrease page load time (which helps SEO and keeps your visitors happy too).
There is a very good article all about browser caching, here:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Caching
Lastly, you might find that you don't need to mess with caching at all. The browser has other ways of working out when to fetch and serve new content, and one week is quite a long time in that regard. But the only way to find out would be to try it!
