Recently I had a menu issue with Elementor where the menu dropdown was not working. In this blog, I will show you how to fix the menu drop-down issue.

I am using Elementor for a few of my WordPress websites.

## Dropdown Issue

When I created the menu in the Elementor template designer, the dropdown menu was working without any issues.

However, when I saw the changes on the live page, the dropdown menu was not working both on desktop and mobile sites.

## Solution for Dropdown Issue

After some research and debugging, I found that the problem was with the `overflow:hidden` CSS property

Here is the background on the CSS property. When I designed the Elementor header, I found that the header was moving left and right on the mobile site. So, to fix it I made all the CSS divisions in the header template to `overflow:hidden`. This includes the menu bar element as well.

It kind of blocked the menu bar drop-down and the overflow property was set to hidden.

So, to fix the menu dropdown issue, all I had to do was change the `overflow:hidden` to `overflow:`default.

Here is how you can check and fix this properly.

First, click on the many layout elements. Under the layout configuration, you will find an overflow property. Change it from **hidden to default** as shown in the image below.

Don’t forget to save the changes

## Clear the WordPress Cache

If you are using any caching plugin like [WP Rocket](https://comtechies.com/recommends/wp-rocket-plugin), first you need to clear change WordPress cache to validate the Elementor changes.

If you use a CDN, clear the CDN cache as well.

After cleaner, if you validate the pages on Desktop and mobile, you can see the dropdown menu working without any issue.
