I would like to create a dropdown menu from the primary nav menu. However, when you select the item I want it to scroll down and stop at the appropriate section. Make sense?
For example, when you have a contents page and click on item 2.4, it auto-scrolls down to section 2.4.
To use the scroll to plugin you just need to add anchor links from your menu items. So for example, ”#about” could be entered into a link:
http://i.imgur.com/XUvsNXj.png and then it would correlate with the section on your page where you have:
<div id="about"> </div>
(which gets added through the text tab of course).
Finally, in the plugin settings there’s an input that says “selectors”. Add this inside of it:
Just one more question - it only seems to work if you are currently on the page with the ID. See fire.uroom.org/denver - if you select the submenu 'New Placement' under the ABOUT menu item, nothing happens. If you go to the ABOUT page and then select it - it works great.
Figured it out - if anyone has same issue, here is solution.
You just need to add the full address in your links href (instead of just the hash with the id). In menus, change the URL field value of your WP menu item from #id to something like http://somesite.com/somepage/#id.
Hi I am Nectar,

Thank you for your help!!

Hey Jonathan!
That i am afraid is a technical limitation. Not much we can do about it.
