Navigation dropdown menus are widely used, especially on sites with lots of pages and/or categories, as they allow to navigate directly to almost every page of the site, with no need to navigate through all the intermediate pages in the hierarchy.

Just install and activate it, and on my twentytwelve child theme the menu is working again on tablets. But for smart phones I use in addition the plugin WP Responsive Menu. This way the old twentytwelve theme is fine again on smart phones, tablets and desktop. Thanks!
Easy to install.
Seems to solve the menu issues when using a tablet and the Hueman theme.
Easy to install – and that was it – no settings to play work and worked right away. My issues was both mega menu and drop down menu not working on mobile (opening the link instead of the next level of navigation). Worked fantastic!
Works well with the Spacious WordPress theme. Tested on android and IOS tablets
Works like a charm! Now I won’t be losing my mobile customers.
