    The plugin works fine on my site (http://www.ocmvermont.org/wordpress/), except the menus won’t toggle like they do on this site (current expanded menu will close when a new menu is expanded). Am I missing something? Or can I make adjustments to the js to make it work this way?

    Thanks!

    Hey; Your plugin looks good. But their is something wrong when i tried it. It just did like before with the Page widget.
    Do you think it’s because i’m using wp v3 ?

    When i click , ‘Bli medlem’ the menu works but i wont get to this location. http://www.myalphabeta.com/lop/bli-medlem It only shows the underpages in the menu. How do i make it show the underpages and also goto http://www.myalphabeta.com/lop/bli-medlem

    Anyone understand?

  8. Hi, tried your plugin with wp 3.0.1, didn’t work (expected as you dont show that it supports past 2.9.1). I then downgraded to wp 2.9.1, and it doesnt seem to work at all. Is there anything else that I should be doing here? I’d love to use your plugin, any help would be great!

    I have tried installing the plugin (which looks very good on your page :) ) but my download didnt come with a stylesheet. Should it? Or am I supposed to make my own!? Thanks

    I love the plug-in – works. I just have some fine tuning questions.
    1- How do you make the PARENT page a link – its an actual page, with content, but it just toggles. (See link – About Us is a page, but just toggles to see the sub-pages)

    This is a great plugin but lacks the support needed to get things going. People have been asking questions for months and none of them are answered. I know its free but the more supportive you are to the users of your plugin, the better chances you would receive donations for your assistance and effort. Guess I’ll be moving on. Have a great day everyone!

I know that this is a free plugin but the more supportive you are to the users of your plugin, you have a better chance of receiving monetary gifts of appreciation for your efforts and assistance. Oh, well, I guess I will move on! Have a great day!

    Hello Everyone.

    Installed this plugin, but can’t get it to work. It is active, and I dragged a new pages widget to the sidebar, but still acts as though I never installed the plugin. Very very new to this. Any suggestions?

    Thanks.

    i want to shere a bug fix i made…
    the bug:
    if adding seccont and third level buttons, it makes the top buttons not work ( if i have third level the second and the first down’t work)

    the fix:
    on line 35 in the JS file you need to delete this text:
    return false;

    now it works

    Hi,

    The plug in works great with WordPress v3. i’m just wondering if there is a way to have different pages in the sidebar than the main pages. I need to have it display custom pages that will not be in the main menu

    Thanks

    please post your questions and issues to the forums on the wordpress site. many people ask the same questions, solutions for which can be found in the comments or in the FAQ’s. it’s probably not as easy to search/navigate, which is the reason for the move. unfortunately, i haven’t had time to and answer most questions – i’ll try harder. i’d appreciate if you read the comments and faq’s before posting a question.
