Sub menu items displaying behind slider content

[77ideas]

Something happened to my client for which we purchased this theme a while back.

See here: http://projetecosphere.org

When hovering over the menu items with sub items, you will see that they display behind some slider content.

I don’t know what my client did or if this is a bug, but people are not able to navigate using the menu.

We are running a child theme (though I am not 100% sure no customization has been done to core files) – Alyeska version 1.1.3.

Any idea ?
thanks

Hello,

First, note that you are using a very old version (over a year old I think) of the theme that we no longer support. We cannot ensure that such an old version of going to be compatible with WordPress moving forward.

But outside of that, when you make edits to directly to the theme and not from a Child theme, it realistically makes it almost to impossible to support you. You guys have completely customized the theme’s HTML markup and styles. All of the CSS controlling the main navigation and the dropdowns is completely written by you guys, and nothing from the theme is being applied to them because you’ve changed the HTML markup.

With your dropdowns, you haven’t taken into account z-indexing on them, and that’s why they don’t appear correctly above your slider.
