Urgent Help Needed: Fixing Multi-Level Dropdown Issues in Webflow

URGENT PLEASE HELP! So I have made this multi-level dropdown in Webflow. The problem is when I mix regular nav links and secondary dropdowns inside one dropdown list. When hovering out of a secondary dropdown over a regular link, webflow closes the main dropdown. To get a better idea about this check the read only link and hover on all of the dropdowns. Is there any easy solution to this? This is an urgent client project, so help would be very much appreciated. Here's the read-only link: https://preview.webflow.com/preview/evermatic?utm_medium=preview_link&utm_source=desig[…]e1a55d2d390ca94503943eaa7ad32&locale=fi-FI&workflow=preview

Aatos N. yeah the first thing that I would do is disable the "Open menu on hover" setting since thats not possible to do on mobile. The overall usability of this menu is going to be seriously compromised no matter what we do. Spent a few minutes digging into it and yeah there's just a lot of settings that would need to change. I would highly suggest searching the cloneables to see if somebody has already done this and see if you can mirror that. https://webflow.com/made-in-webflow I could probably revisit this in a couple of days if you are still struggling to make it work but I would likely just start from scratch to give you a clean blueprint to make it happen. But again from a usability standpoint, I would have personally never went this far with the navigation since it'll be incredibly difficult to navigate on mobile no matter what we do - but I know how it goes with clients too - been there done that.

Matt J. Thanks! I’ll check out the cloneables, but yeah I originally did this with a Relume mega menu but the client specifically requested for the menu to be structured like this… I know this isn’t a Relume issue but weird that multi level navigation like this isn’t really possible on Webflow without some cheeky workarounds. Or at least so it seems. Anyway, thanks for the response. I’ll come back to this soon 👍🏼

yeah, its not really something that is baked into Webflow or our components - mostly because of the usability issues I've mentioned. I'm willing to bet that you'll go through all of this and show the client and they'll likely come to terms with this as well. 🙂
