There have been so many external developers on our SharePoint 2010 intranet I have no one to ask. I am trying to get the top level navigation drop-down menus to behave.
Right now they only show pages, not sites. Yet when I check Site Settings > Navigation > Global Navigation (this is a Publishing site) the “Show pages” option is disabled and “Show subsites” is checked.
Thanks in advance for any insights!

Since you say you are using a custom master page your site navigation may be controlled from a custom .sitemap file. This is usually XML and should be located somewhere in the root directory; best practice placement would be \14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\ . You can search .sitemap file extension from within the LAYOUTS or from the 14 folder or to see if anything comes up. You can then edit this file to change the navigation if in fact this is the case.
You can check in your web.config file to see what sitemap provider is being used for you web application. Here will tell what providers are being used. From what I have seen in 2010, developers usually have added the customized sitemap to a .wsp (solution).
Thanks, I have to leave office now but will try this next Monday!
Can you please apply this V4 master page and check?

Ohh sorry my mistake forgot you have SharePoint 2010. V4 is default master for SharePoint 2010.
Looks like a custom master page – called V4master.
Thanks,
