Making a navbar item have a dropdown menu

[ffs]

On my navbar, as I imagine is the case on most of the navbars, is the menu item 'Members'. Would it be possible to make a hover effect such that there is a dropdown showing, say, 'See all members' as link 1 and 'Staff members' as link 2? Much as the navtree behaves, in fact.

Have you looked into the Drop Down Nav plugin? You can find the support thread here.

Now how in the name of all that's sacred did I miss that when I searched the plugin library? "No" is the immediate answer, so I will head over there now. Thanks, Lynx.

Reporting back, Lynx. Rather than reading eight years' worth of posts on the support thread to find my answer (!) I struggled to work out Shorty's instructions and eventually twigged, it works just as what I was searching for, so thanks, again, for that!

Another screenshot on his instructions would be useful to explain the basic steps, and it didn't help that on my laptop keyboard I don't have the 'pipe' symbol (|), so a lot of copying and pasting was involved!

Strange. Does your keyboard have the backslash ( \ ) key? If yes, try SHIFT + \ - you should get the pipe symbol ( | ).

It's a French laptop, the backslash is available with ALT GR and unfortunately SHIFT + ALT GR + \ doesn't give me anything at all.

Thanks to Chris, though, I can get it with ALT GR + 6; I didn't watch all of the video, but the indications at the beginning made me think that that combination, which shows as the symbol which shouldn't exist and which I can't type on my keyboard, might work, and it does: |

An appropriate place to put the image of Magritte's painting, known in English as 'This is not a pipe'.
