Bootstrap Nav Walker – Add Class to Child UL – multi-level menu

I’m working on a WordPress site that someone else coded using Bootstrap. I added a submenu item to a submenu item, but it is appearing on top of it’s parent, rather than under it.

I found code that would add a class to the submenu, but I need to add a class to the child of the submenu item.

Parent
– A Submenu (child of main menu)
–A1 Submenu (child of A)

I created a dropdown-submenu class in the css file, but I don’t know how or where to add it to the wp_bootstrap_navwalker.php file. Code is below.

  1. You could try this: add this to your styles.css, it’s work for me:

    /* dropdown */
    .dropdown-menu {
        margin: 0px auto;
    }
    .dropdown-menu .dropdown-menu {
        left: 100%;
        top: 0px;
    }
    /*  shows the dropdown on hover*/
    .navbar ul.nav li:hover > ul.dropdown-menu {
        display: block;   
    }
    /* before and after */
    .navbar .nav > li > .dropdown-menu::before, .navbar .nav > li > .dropdown-menu::after {
        display: none;
    }
    
  2. For the solved this problem.follow interaction…..

    Add script(function($){ $(document).ready(function(){ $(‘ul.dropdown-menu [data-toggle=dropdown]’).on(‘click’, function(event) { event.preventDefault(); event.stopPropagation(); $(this).parent().siblings().removeClass(‘open’); $(this).parent().toggleClass(‘open’); }); }); })(jQuery);

    2.Remove && $depth === 0 from this line if ( $args->has_children && $depth === 0 ) in wp_bootstrap_navwalker.php file
