Hi, I know this was asked by someone else but I didn’t see you provided a solution.

I have Chrome (updated, double checked).

Mega menu does not appear on hover (check your demo http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/).

What is more, when using chrome and you click on it it appears for half second then disappears, second click will open it.

Please don’t ask for screenshot as I obviously cannot provide one which would be showing Mega menu appearing then disappearing.

Hi,

Please provide more details about device that you use to check this. We know there it is an issue with hover on touch screen devices. We try to find a better solution for these devices and will improve this when we will design a new navigation system.

Thanks for the message!

hi Alin, thanks for quick response.

I am using Sony Vaio laptop with touch screen and one of my readers is using touch screen laptop as well – we both have the same issue. In this case, it looks like it won’t work on any device that has touch screen? What can we do about it? I have, however, checked this website http://wpmegamenu.com/ and their megamenu opens/works for me perfectly even when using touch screen laptop.

I double checked on non-touch screen laptop, and mega menu works.

Please advice as soon as possible. Thank you

Hello,

I’ve added this issue to our issue tracker and we will release an update to the theme with the fix. It may take us about one or two weeks to release the update, if you want the fix faster I can try to find a custom solution asap.

Sorry for this problem,
Radu O.

Hi, which version of the theme is supposed to have this fixed?
From what I see, the megamenu doesn’t expand under mouse cursor of any touch-enabled chromeos device.

Edit: sorry, probably wrong forum – I’m using the Newspaper theme.

Hello bartoszgeza,

Please download the latest theme version from Theme Forest and install it via FTP way and check the results.

Thanks for your understanding!

Hi, I was just checking http://wpmegamenu.com/ and it looks kind of cool. DO you know if it is compatible with the newspaper theme?

Thanks, James.

Hi Catalin, I think I’m using the latest version (Newspaper 8.2).

You can see it running on https://experiment-171200.appspot.com/
As soon as I use Chrome Developer tools to emulate a touchscreen device, hovering over the menu no longer opens it. On a real touchscreen device it behaved the same way.

Hello all,


@roseways
, Unfortunately, this kind of plugin has not been tested with our theme and also, we cannot say for sure if it will work or not with the theme, sorry! Also, we cannot provide support for untested plugins.


@bartoszgeza
, Please notice that you cannot hover over the menu for touchscreen because this effect does not exist. You should tap the screen! How do you hoven on touchscreen devices? -> https://www.screencast.com/t/G1Lb0i2dD

Thanks for your understanding!

I have laptops which have both touch screen and a mouse pointer via a touchpad. Both input methods can be used interchangeably.

It seems I have fixed this issue on my blog – in js code setting up event listeners for megamenu I have removed the “else” statement between touch mode and desktop mode.
