How to Make A Parent Page Unclickable?
-
I don’t know how best to describe this, so I’ll try it this way. I have the following pages:
Services
– Service 1
– Service 2
– Service 3
– Service 4Each of these five pages is a unique page in my Dashboard, and the 4 services all have “Services” as the parent page. When you go to my blog, you can hover over “Services” and a dropdown menu appears for the four services underneath.
Here’s my question: how do I make it so that someone can hover over “Services” but NOT have it be a clickable link? I don’t want anything on the “Services” page – I don’t even want it to be a page. I just want it to be the category under which users can access the pages that drop down.
Is this possible?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You make those all Posts, and you make “Service” a category. Then you use a custom menu to put a link to the Service category in your header.

No no!
You make a custom menu with a non-linking top level tab:
From the whole article about Common mistakes and misconceptions (about custom menus):
http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2011/12/19/custom-menus/❇ Submenu with non-linking top level tab
A tab that’s just a heading for a submenu, not a link, is created in the Custom Links module: type anything after “http://”, type the name in the Label field, click Add to Menu; once it’s added to the menu, click the arrow to open it, delete everything in the URL field, click Save Menu.
Note: In some theme this produces a differently looking tab; in that case replace the content of the URL field with a # instead of deleting everything.Also here is a link to the wp.com support document about custom menus:

Would be faster if you cut the frills…
(And my article isn’t about “Common mistakes and misconceptions”, it’s a thorough guide to custom menus in general!)

Sorry, it is really something useful to know about and not especially obvious to make happen.
