On mobile, tapping a parent menu item navigates away instead of expanding the submenu

By default, tapping menu text navigates and tapping the arrow expands. Use a CSS snippet to disable parent-link navigation on mobile in Avante.

This is the default theme behavior.

• Tap the arrow to expand the submenu.
• Tap the text to open the parent link.

There is no built-in setting to change this behavior.

Disable navigation on a specific parent item

If you want tapping the text to expand the submenu instead of opening the parent link, add this in Theme Editor → Theme settings → Custom CSS:

.link-[item-name] {
  pointer-events: none;
}

Replace [item-name] with the menu item's CSS class.

How to find the class

1. Open your store in the browser.
2. Right-click the menu item and select Inspect.
3. Find the <a> element and look for a class that starts with link-, such as .link-brands-designers or .link-shop.

This only affects the menu item you target. All other menu items keep their default behavior.
