Hi guys, I am just working on an Elements template with a sidebar. On the small screen sizes the sidebar disappears and a Dropdown Component is shown which includes my menu system. That works as expected so far with one exception. In Elements it is shown only as long as the switch Show Panel is selected. Fine that’s logical. When I switch the Show Panel to off it disappears in Elements but then it is also not showing in the browser any more. Is that really as intended to be? Or a bug? ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/1/2/124e25fabcf7ebb61c4a335f7dae2e08c2bdddf2.jpeg) ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/2/7/2739918e6176c8273a749f80a3960fa6ce5b7c4a.png) If you want to check it on the published website > **[Homepage](https://studio-elements.weaverpixel.com)** Currently the Show Panel is set to on there, so the menu opens as I want it to be. When I switch the show panel to off no menu appears on the published website. ---

Thanks @upssjw for testing it out on your side. Seems to be a bug. Lets see what the Realmac team is saying. BTW. How do you record your screen? Its sometimes helpful to show it in a video than to explain it in words and screenshots. ---

@upssjw @WeaverPixel could either/both of you send me a project where this is an issue — I’m trying to replicate it, but can’t at the moment! Thanks 🙂 ---

Sure no problem. I will send the link via PM as my project is a template I plan to sell. ---
