And the “products” li item is meant to have 3 pages linked in a vertical dropdown list below it, so “products” itself doesn’t actually represent a page, how can I do that in WP?

(I use WP as a CMS, with static home and inside pages. I build my own templates, style the menus in CSS, then register the menus in the functions.php and call them in the templates.) In WP you add entries to the menus via the list of pages, or by the custom links. But I don’t want “products” to be linked. If I don’t add a link to the custom link it won’t let me add it to the menu.

Is this doable through the menus admin or do I have to approach it some other way?

Thank you for any help!

Overskrift

However, there are some side-effects of using empty hashes for placeholder links. The link will still appear and behave like a link, so it could confuse a user when they are clicking on what appears to be a link but nothing happens. The other effect is that clicking on an empty hash link will override any existing hash, sending the user to the top of the page. This might not be so worrying for a menu which is at the top of the page anyway, but it is quite jarring when the page unexpectedly jumps when you are not expecting it, especially if this is for a footer menu.

The solution is to combine the empty hash method with a piece of code to detect when empty hash links are used in the menu and to remove.
