About mid-May, the wrench stopped working for our admins. I’d really like to get this working again.

We also have a navbar that uses jquery for dropdown options and now those aren’t working anymore after updating our custom theme. Any help would be much appreciated!

Is this also because of your custom theme or a general problem?

From my experience it is every time some plugin, component or theme. What [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) says?

Yes it’s probably our theme. It’s quite old. However no one had touched any code locally in five years and yet there have been a number of problems arising.
I’m not interested in placing blame though. I am interested in solving the problem.
How does one test for problems?
Are there acceptable methods to create a working navbar for a custom theme? (Ours is an ancient version of bootstrap/jquery)

The first thing you should share is any errors and/or deprecation warnings in your browser console.

Hi Joseph,
I took a look at the forum and I think I see what the issue may be.
(1) It looks like there’s some CSS in the theme to style `.dropdown-menu` that is causing an issue. We recently did a big update to our “form kit”, so maybe the `.dropdown-class` was added to the admin menu as part of the process, and now is being inadvertently targeted by the old CSS.
There are two copies of the same styling in the theme that both include `display: none`.
If I disable those in browser dev tools, the menu shows up (2).
However, it looks like this CSS is important for hiding a different dropdown menu (3), since it appeared after I disabled the `display: none`’s.
What I would recommend would be to add something like this to your common.scss:
```plaintext
.fk-d-menu__inner-content .dropdown-menu {
display: block;
}
```
This should target just that admin menu while leaving the other dropdown menus alone.
