(I put a around, it seems to work...) It looks like the second level drop up is off 1 cell with to the top.. (the child pages)... Not sure what's the best way to fix it ... Also, how do I get rid of the top menu bar completely? Thanks :) Hey, I used thesis_nav_menu(); in the function and it’s showing up. (I put a around, it seems to work…)
