  The sub menus under paintings is not appearing when the mouse hovers over the paintings menu option. I have worked on it for hours but can’t get it to work. What is wrong?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I do not see a Paintings tab in your menu on the blog linked to your username. If that’s not the blog in question please post an active link starting with http:// for the blog you are having this issue with.

  Here is the url for the menu that does not show the sub menus. The are two other menus are
  http://billreadpaintings.wordpress.com/paintings/astracts and http://billreadpaintings.wordpress.com/paintings/florals

  So what is the solution?

  The theme you’re using doesn’t display dropdowns to child pages in its default top nav menu. You need to create and load a custom menu.

  By the way 1, in WP parlance the menu is the whole row of tabs, and each tab is a menu item.
  By the way 2, when you create a custom menu, you create dropdowns by dragging items as shown in the Support doc I linked to: you no longer need to assign parents to your pages in the page editor.
