Can dropdown menus stay open after clicking on a nested link in the 2015 Theme?
-
When users click on the arrow beside a parent item in the menu for the WordPress Twenty Fifteen theme, several nested page links appear underneath for them to choose from. The problem is that once the user selects one of these nested items and navigates to the page, the nested menu closes again, meaning that the user has to re-click on the parent item over and over again to keep opening up the nested menu to view what other pages are under it. As you can imagine, this becomes very annoying for the user very quickly. Is there any way to customize the menu so that the nested list will stay open as long as the user is on a page that is nested under the same parent item?
For an example, if you see on my site cecadc2015.wordpress.com, clicking on the arrow next to “Program” reveals “Conference Venue,” “Program at a Glance,” and “Livestreaming.” If you click to go to the “Conference Venue” page, the dropdown menu closes up again, so you have to click back on the arrow next to “Program” to see the other nested items. Is there any way to make it so that the dropdown stays open and you can see all these items as long as you’re on one of the pages that falls under the “Program” parent?

Hi there, thanks very much for your feedback on Twenty Fifteen. I’ve passed your suggestion along to the developer team through a WordPress Core Trac ticket.
Since Twenty Fifteen is the new WordPress default theme, the Trac is public, and you can follow along by clicking the “Watch this ticket” button if you have a WordPress.org account.

The suggestion will be considered for an upcoming version of the theme.
