Is there a way to display the page on your menu by hovering your mouse pointer over it without clicking on the title?

oh good question see mackiejw gave you a the answer, goodluck

Great idea John and good information for pderr and the rest of us........Frank

Yes, If you make the menu tab non-clickable and your page a menu item
In menu "click on the little black arrow" on the right side and enter a # in the URL field
Then add the page to the menu as sub and when hovering over menu tab you get the effect you want

Thanks John. I've been trying to figure out just how to do that!

John...thank you for the reply....but....I am lost on the first step. When I click the arrow, it opens to display the Navigation Label and Title Attribute. I don't have a URL field. Please bear with my ignorance. :)

OK my bad
Go to Menus
Then on the left where you select the page
Click on URL
put in the number sign #
Add to menu
Then you see "menu item" Click on little Arrow and give it the name you want and put it in the menu 0rder
Then click on pages
ADD your page to menu and place under the newly created one (or when you already have the menu item for your page, just move it under the new one)

John...OK...that displays the 'page name' when I mouse over, but I still have to click to display page. I wanted to display page without the click...just mouse over. Sorry I didn't explain correctly....Pete

I don't think that's possible. I may be wrong
John

I just check yahoo and there is the gallery. When hover over, a larger box appears with an excerpt of the article....but I still have to click on it if I want to read it.
There is "j shortcodes" a plug-in with gallery functions. Check it out but it's not easy to do.

I saw this on several 'competitors' websites. I am sure they are custom designed. But, I gave up trying to find this in the Wordpress support forum....so I thought I would ask the 'smart' guys here. :) At least you verified why I am having a hard time finding this information. Maybe Wordpress doesn't have this feature. Thanks....Pete

Thanks John...I know it's not easy....for me IMPOSSIBLE. :) I am trying to find a theme with this kind of feature built in.....or a work-around for my theme. I will check out your advice and see where it takes me....Thanks....Pete

A few days ago I lost all of my menus. They just vanished. All pages were OK. I had many menus, sub menus, and sub-sub menus. The support group suggested that I had surpassed th

I back mine up to dropbox, it's free. Here's the training

Hey Pete - I use the BackWPUp plugin.......

I use BackWPUp plugin. You can backup manually or set it up to do it automatically. I do mine manually, so I deactivate this plugin when not in use, and only activate it when I'm doing the backup. ~ Jude

I use this plugin, too, but I do it automatically because most of the time I am too busy to check it out. This is safer for me.

I will look into this. Thank you....Pete

Thank you....Pete

On Saturday, I searched here and found video training from Kyle about backing up. I saved the file, just like his video trained. Hope this helps.

Kary, did ya forget to post the link?

Thank you-somehow I guess it didn't post.

No problem, has happened to me before too.
