Just to calm any possible problems I'm not looking for the drop down menus to hover. I recognize the need and reasons for the clickable dropdown menus.

That said I'm not finding any way to make the dropdown menus function on my home page.

I set the default menu block in my navbar (collapsible) and modified my menus to have child objects, however, the dropdowns do not show up on the home page.

I fact they only show up on the respective navigation pages; e.g. my "Galleries" menu link shows on the home page, and if I click on it it takes me to the "Galleries" main page. At that point I can see the dropdown arrow and can click on the menu item to see my sub gallery pages. However, none of my other dropdowns show on that page unless I click to their respective pages and then the "Galleries" sub menus no longer shows.

Am I missing something in how I need to set up the submenus or is this the way the menu is supposed to behave?

Thank you in advance for any help.

Regards,
J Neubaur

You can set it in block settings of the main menu block:
Initial visibility level (1)
Number of levels to display (unlimited)

I have already set the menu block's menu levels to those matching settings, and I'm still facing this issue.

Thank you for the suggestion though.

I am also having this issue. The steps in number 2 where complete, but no dropdown.

Found why I was having the issue. In my case the js was not added to the info.yml file so the dropdown js was not loading.
libraries:
- 'utsystemsosi/global-styling'
- 'utsystemsosi/bootstrap-scripts'

In the menu settings just enabled "Show as expanded" option from your menu item.
menu-expand

@kurinji selvan is correct, this is (and always has been) a configuration option on the menu item itself.

Thank you Kurinji selvan,

That solved the issue.

However, I would like to make note that the option "show as expanded" is in no way intuitive to enabling dropdowns. I would add that to the documentation; "show as expanded" does not in fact expand the menu automatically but enables the dropdown feature.

Thank you everyone for your input and assistance in this.
