landing page with two sub-sections

Site URL: https://www.willdurocher.com

hi, I have used CSS coding to hide menus on my header on certain pages, which has worked perfectly. I have a issue with i created a folder with sub menus in it and on the  mobile device the coding hides some of the sub menus in the folder also. Is there a way to get around this?

Creedon kindly suggested there is a better way using multi language code.

much appreciate any help thank you

the issue is, when you go to the site, click on photography, then it will take you to the photography side of the site, when you click on series (on a web browser) it will show a drop down menu of 6 pages, but when you view it on a mobile device it will only show 2.

thanks again

This is where the conversation started for reference.

You mentioned in the other thread an issue with not being able to view a link to a post I mentioned there? If that is the case, here is the URL.

Here is a link to  Brad Good's multi-language site code as well.

The main take away is that although we could do what you want hiding menus/menu items with CSS it could be a bit of a pain to maintain. Every time you changed the menus you'd have to update the CSS. With Brad's code and minor modifications to it, the menu swapping can be handled based on the location of the site the user is in.

The original intent of the code is for multi-language sites in the form of :

/en/home
/en/contact
etc...

/fr/home
/fr/contact
etc...

Brad's code then handles hiding/showing based on the two letter language code.

So in your case you could set up your site something like the following:

/ (the landing page with your two buttons)

/artist/home
/artist/store
etc...

/photography/home
/photography/series
etc...

Then we can supply code to modify Brad's code to handle more than two letter language codes.

You could experiment without a large investment to see if this is a direction you want to pursue. Set up a couple of pages for each part of your site. That's as easy as going into the page settings and changing the URL Slug. Then install the code (with a minor mod to deal with more than two letters) and play to see if it works for your needs.

I gather that this site is new. Is that the case?

Look over Brad's article. Is installing code something you feel comfortable with?

Let us know what you think.

Thanks Creedon, ive changed the URL-slugs to the correct "artist/" and "photography/" .... I went through Brad Goods site link and can't quite get my head around the coding. Ill be honest I'm not totally familia with coding. I inserted the coding and tried changing the "en" to artist.....but nothing seem to change.

And yes this site is new, in the making at the moment. But ill give it a go to installing coding to hopefully get it to work. I have made a duplicate of the site so I can test codings on that first.

thank you

the thread didn't work for me either haha wouldn't let me view it

Excellent! I suggest inviting me as a contributor with administrator privileges to your duplicate site. After you get the code installed I can double check that it is installed correctly and make the minor adjustment to the code needed for it to work with more than two letter sub-section codes.

If that sounds good to you I can DM my invite info.

Once you're happy that things are going well on the duplicate site, it should be pretty easy to manually replicate the changes back to your original site.

One last try on that thread. I was trying to point to a message within the thread. Here is the thread start. Does this work for you?
