My father always said, “An old man is no express train,” and now I am that old man. I admit, I was hoping to get an answer, but it was so quick, it was amazing. Thank you. With your change, everyone can now read the menu on our site, which is actually the most important thing.
Thanks again for the lightning-fast support.
I am using this plugin for one of my clients, as they wanted a dropdown menu that takes customers to their respective Terrazzo Association sites their state falls under. This was literally “plug and play” — and worked right out of the gate without any further customization. When I noticed some funky behavior on Safari on iOS, Jeroen was super quick to respond and investigate my query. I would highly recommend this plugin to anyone needing a navigation dropdown widget, and I will definitely be using it again on future client sites! 10/10!
I was looking for a plugin which provides a dropdown of a menu and this worked exactly as I’d hoped without having to bring in any more pages or posts than necessary, and works perfectly amongst long form content, especially on mobile, to keep users engaged. Thanks Jeroen for a great solution!
plugin works great and the developer is very responsive.
I had a problem identifying a league ID. Jeroen solved this super fast with a great update.
The best drop down widget!
