Hi there,
I need a little help with submenu's in my spry menu
I have created the main header menu and sub menus but when I got to preview these don't show up when I hover or click on the main menu, so I can't see what they are going to look like or if they're working
I can't seem to find how to fix this problem?
Any help would be appreciated
Also, the site is not yet live
Thanks
HC
Hello

Thanks in advance

It's impossible to know what else may be going on in your layout without seeing a link to your page.
In the meantime, have a look at each of these links:
