Hi guys,
I have the following case –
in my menu I have 6 categories where the last one is actually “More”. Under “More” there are some further categories.
In my mobile menu, next to “More” there is a > symbol on the right s. I found out that the visitors usually click on the anchor “More” but not on the > symbol. This way, the rest of the categories are not shown. They only appear when the > symbol is clicked.
How can I change that behavior? I would like to show the rest of the categories
Hello DaveS,
Please provide your website URL and so useful screenshots with your desired changes so I can take a closer look at it and also, so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thanks.
Hi Catalin,
here’s a print screen. Does it help?
I need to show up the rest of the categories not only when clicked on the > sign, but on the anchor “More” too.
Thanks
Hi,
Unfortunately the theme does not have such a feature. If the link leads to the category page, the category templates will not show a list of your sub-categories. The category template uses a loop to show posts, not a list of categories. Sorry. You can maybe redirect your category page to a standard static page where you can create a list of your sub-categories.
Thanks.
Hi Bogdan,
I came to that idea too, but your suggestion is unfortunately not a solution for me.
Maybe you can have this in mind for future updates of the theme. It will be good for UX on mobile.
Hi again,
this issue makes it really inconvenient for the users on mobile….
I would like the visitors to be able to see the sub categories/sections of the site easier. Most of the people click on the word/category name, not on the “>” sign.
This way (when visitors don’t click on the “>” sign) they can’t see directly what sub-categories the main category offers.
If I create custom static pages and redirect the product categories in question to the new page urls, the visitor will not’t immediately see all sections, what he/she would actually expect to happen, but will have to visit a page and scroll down in order to see what’s on it.
Is it possible to make the words/main category names unclickable (in general) so that on mobile the user will have to click on the “>” sign in order to see something happening?
Hello,
Unfortunately it will not work like that as the right arrow is part of the same menu item. Sorry but there is no simple solution except by altering the main code of the mobile menu: https://www.screencast.com/t/3bTo6nbvS
But this will require customization services we cannot provide, sorry
Thanks.
I found a nice way which isn’t the best solution from seo point of view, but it’s the best solution for UX – just add a custom link section to the menu with any url inside, then remove the url and drag sub-categories under the tab. This way the main category is not clickable within the menu on dekstop, but it’s clickable on mobile and the best thing – it opens the sub-menu, no need to tap exactly on the “>” sign!
Cheers
