Sub menu items do not receive nested URLs

When Brian tried to add a sub menu item to the main menu, the added menu item couldn't show up under menu category.

I'm not terribly concerned about it not showing up in the nav bar. But, while the page had "projects" listed as its parent in the WP interface, the page would not appear at its proper URL.

Our theme does not support drop-down menus by design. Dropdown menus are bad design practice. See:

If we need a portal page for nested content, search engines and mobile are much happier with it.

But the url issue needs attention.

For example, in the original image above, we should see a URL like /proposals/process

After working on it with Tory, this is our find: Changing the URL under the menu is not the right way to do it, instead you can changed the URL name/parent when you click on the edit button for a specific page/post you want to change. For example For example if I want the page to be under "Contact Us" then you would click on the drop down and select contact us.

*Some parent categories will cause the page to not show up, but in general, it should work perfectly.

@WorldsEndless let me know if I missed anything else!

Yes, in short, changing the nav menu does not (and should not) change the URL structure of the site. But changing a posts parent DOES change its path.
