    Hello,

    I just upgraded to the 4.6.1 update… and notice that the “fix” for allowing the sidebar navigation to scroll ALSO causes a problem where the sub-navigation flyouts are now hidden (see attached image… or go to http://thervgeeks.com and mouse over the “Home/Videos” navigation item).

    Any suggestions for fixing this?

    Thanks!

    I’m thinking I can just undo the latest change by using the following CSS to override it… but didn’t want to implement this if there’s a better option.

    .x-navbar {
        overflow-y: visible !important;
    }

    Hi There,

    Thanks for writing in.

    Would you mind sharing us your admin credentials so we could check if there is a conflict or something that messes the navigation on your sidebar.

    Don’t forget to set it as private reply.

    Thanks.

    Just as an update… I went ahead and added the custom CSS code I mentioned above. I have a new post going live tomorrow and my subscribers will be coming in in larger numbers than usual. So I don’t want my site navigation broken for them.

    Let me know if you discover a different solution to this problem that I can try.

    Thanks.

    Hey there,

    The side navbar was designed for few menu items only. If you have lots of menu items, please consider restructuring your navigation. Modifying it would be outside the scope of our support.

    This particular situation is simply a matter of reworking your content to properly fit the physical limitations presented by the theme (this is a consideration that must be taken into account with all themes and designs). It is the same principal applied to filling up a room with furniture—there is only so much that can fit into a given space. The following should be considered in these situations:

    • Logo Size – longer logos will conflict with navigation items as you size your site down. If you are noticing a conflict, you may need to implement some CSS to size down your logo as viewports get smaller.
    • Shorter Names – you should always shoot to have your top-level navigation links be as simple as possible. For example, if your link is “Learn About My Company,” Try using “About” instead. It conveys the same idea and will save you a ton of real estate.
    • Rearrange – sometimes we want to put all of our links in the top-level navigation, but not all pages are created equally. Pages of lesser importance that pertain to a parent link might work well as a sub-menu instead.
    • Less Links – even on more “complex” websites with lots of pages, there are always ways to combine information together to make things simpler, which also ensures that your user doesn’t have to click around for every granular piece of information. For example, you might have two top-level links called “About” and “Contact,” which could possibly be combined into one. This eliminates the need for extra links and makes things much simpler for your users to navigate. Less is more in information architecture.
    • Appearance – fortunately X features plenty of options for adjusting the appearance of elements throughout your site, and the navbar is one of the more flexible elements. Try using a smaller font size if possible to save on a little real estate.

    Thanks!
