# Mega menu isn't working / dropdowns won't open

The Mega menu and Hover mega menu blocks both require a **Dropdown link** value that matches the exact name of a menu item in your navigation.

### How to fix this

1. Open **Theme Editor → Header → Mega menu** or **Hover mega menu** block
2. In the **Dropdown link** field, enter the exact name of the menu item you want to display as a mega menu (e.g. `Seasons` )

3. Go to **Shopify Admin → Content → Menus**, open your menu and make sure that item has child links nested under it

Do not translate the **Dropdown link** field using Translate & Adapt or any other app. This is an internal reference — translating it breaks the connection to your navigation.

**Mega menu vs Hover mega menu**

Both blocks use the same Dropdown link logic.

*Mega menu* displays links in columns. *Hover mega menu* reveals a panel with banners on hover.

For full setup details see [Mega menu & Hover mega menu →](/docs/avante-themes/features-and-advanced-setup/mega-menu-and-hover-mega-menu.md)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://staylime.com/docs/avante-themes/faq/navigation/mega-menu-isnt-working-dropdowns-wont-open.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
