    Using a child theme breaks the primary navigation. all the primary links appear but not the secondary links (drop downs) if I switch the site to the main theme the primary nav menu works as it should.

    Child style.css

    /*
    Theme Name: Septera Child Theme
    Template: septera
    Version: 1.0.3.1
    */
    

    Child functions.php

    <?php 
    function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {
    
        $parent_style = 'parent-style';
    
        wp_enqueue_style( $parent_style, get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
        wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style',
            get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
            array( $parent_style )
        );
    }
    add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' );
    

    Just in case you ask 🙂

    I think it may be to do with the website being in a subdomain, seems to work fine is on a normal domain 🙁

    If I download to version 1.2.4 the menu works fine again

    Septera needs its styles to load in a certain order.

    Try the code below for the child theme enqueues:

    function septera_child_styling(){
    	wp_enqueue_style( 'septera-main', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array(), _CRYOUT_THEME_VERSION );  // restore correct parent stylesheet
    	wp_enqueue_style( 'septera-child', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array( 'septera-main' ), '0.1' ); 		// enqueue child stylesheet	
    }
    add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'septera_child_styling' );

    Try not to change the style ids as they are used for other enqueues as well.
