good afternoon,
step by step i get further in my website using the DreSshop template, however when I want to add a subcategory in the menu the item is displayed in the menu-bar on the right instead of at the bottom.
What am I doing wrong? already spent 4 hours to find the solution but with no result.
Best regards Frans

Hello F.J.M.,
If I understand you correctly then you wish to create a drop-down menu in your project.
The key to doing this is to use 'levels' in the sitemap, and to position your subcategories underneath each level as appropriate. For example:
You can read more about this in the help file:

thank you for your reply Paul, but when i do this then the new level is showed on the right side of the item in the menu bar and this is not what i want
Make sure the container for your menu is deep enough... you can drag the handles around the container to enlarge it if necessary:
Then double-click on the menu icon which will open the menu properties. Make sure that you have the Level Menu set to open at the Bottom, as shown in the screenshot below:

here another screenshot to show my settings
Could you post a screenshot of your sitemap as shown in Step 3 Sitemap Creation, please?
Also, could you advise if your website is online, and if so what is the URL?
If you wish you may send me your project directly using the secure contact form on my support website:

Many thanks!

Hello Paul
here the screenshot of the sitemap.
I am still developing my website, the old one is still online so I cannot send you new URL sorry for that.
As shown in the earlier posts the folder dresses is shown at the right side in the menubar instead of under, i tried many things but no result.
best regards Frans
Do you want a page called 'Dresses' to be a subcategory of a level called 'Collecties'?
If so then you arrange your sitemap as follows:
Which would give you the following result in Preview:
If this is not quite what you are looking for then could you please explain in detail how you wish to organise the parent categories and child pages, and I will show you how to arrange your sitemap to suit.

hello Paul,
I would like to be the page Collecties like in the attachment to be the parent with the pictures and the links in this page to child pages: Dresses, tops, trousers, blouses which should appear in the top menu under Collecties.
In the way I do it like you suggested when i click the link Collecties nothing happens until i click dresses and so.
The meaning is that the parent page with the pictures and links is directly activated.
Sorry for the inconveniance.
Frans
It's no inconvenience, Frans... it's no trouble at all.
I think I understand better now.
Try following these further steps:
Your new sitemap will look like this:
Please let me know if we're getting any closer!
