This theme is using a static code to display the menu. And it uses a default custom template.
$bt_nav->render('templates/header_menu');
The header_menu.php isn't coded to show any sub pages. That's why it doesn't show the drop down.

Solution:
Simply replace the
$bt_nav->render('templates/header_menu');
with
$bt_nav->render('view');

Replace the entire code
$bt_nav = BlockType::getByHandle('autonav');
$bt_nav->controller->displayPages = 'top';
$bt_nav->controller->orderBy = 'display_asc';
$bt_nav->controller->displaySubPages = 'display_asc' ;
$bt_nav->render('templates/header_menu');

with the below
$a = new GlobalArea('Header Menu');
$a->display();


Then simply add autonav block.

May I know whats wrong with that? The code is looking fine. But I'm not sure what settings you have added for autonav block. You should choose Display Subpages to All.

I have done that :( I dont know what is going on... so weird
is there anything else you can think of ?

Maybe a live link will be good to look at.
Chatterbuzzmarketing replied on at Permalink Reply
just login details for the website is that what you need?
ronyDdeveloper replied on at Permalink Reply

Lets first share the website url. If it cannot be fixed, then you can PM me the login details. So that can check the exact problem. But first share the url.

Well its difficult to say if you have set exclude subpages from nav attributes. Just PM me the login details and I'll check it.

There's no CSS code in the theme for a drop down menu.

Replace the entire code

$bt_nav = BlockType::getByHandle('autonav');
$bt_nav->controller->displayPages = 'top';
$bt_nav->controller->orderBy = 'display_asc';
$bt_nav->controller->displaySubPages = 'none' ;
$bt_nav->render('templates/header_menu');


with the below

$a = new GlobalArea('Header Menu');
$a->display();



Then simply add autonav block.
After this you have to create a folder called "autonav" within the `blocks` folder in the root....under this please write the customize code for dropdown menu...because
in this installed theme no CSS code available for a drop down menu.
