Create new pages in submenu (newbie)

Hi all,

I’m trying to create new pages in submenu (dropdown), so that at each time I click on a submenu the page opens.

How can I create new pages from dropdown? I know there’s another solution using collections, but that is independent from my problem since I’m dealing with submenus.

More precisely, I have this file in _pages called dropdown.md that contains the following:

---
layout: page
title: parent
nav: true
nav_order: 7
dropdown: true
children:
    - title: child1
    - permalink: "/root1"
    - title: child2
    - permalink: "/root2/"
---

How can I create new pages from dropdown? I assume from root2 I should add a file in _layouts that complete the create of the webpage?

Thanks,

That depends on the theme you use, probably. What theme do you use?
