Answer 1

I had the same issue, it occurred because i imported bootstrap library twice. After removing one of them it worked well. Hope it help you.

Answer 2

I came across the same issue recently, i solved it by writing custom script:

<div class="filter-dropdown text-right">
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">Edit</button>
  <div class="dropdown-menu">
     <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Link 1</a>
     <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Link 2</a>
     <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Link 3</a>
  </div>
</div>



$(".filter-dropdown").on("click", ".dropdown-toggle", function(e) { 
    e.preventDefault();
    $(this).parent().addClass("show");
    $(this).attr("aria-expanded", "true");
    $(this).next().addClass("show"); 
  });

Answer 3

you need to use the toggle like that and assign the data-target to the drop down menu with it's id

using

data-target="#navbarDropdown"

 <button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarDropdown" aria-controls="navbarDropdown" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
        <span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
      </button>

and then assign that id to the menu

        <li class="nav-item dropdown show">
            <button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarDropdown" aria-controls="navbarDropdown" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
        <span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
      </button>
            <div id="navbarDropdown" class="dropdown-menu"  role="menu" aria-labelledby="navbarDropdown">
             <a class="dropdown-item">Link 1</a>
             <a class="dropdown-item">Link 2</a>
            </div>
        </li>

Answer 4

I came across the same issue recently, i solved this issue by adding $('.dropdown-toggle').dropdown() after loading the drop-down. Hope this may help without changing from the data-toggle="dropdown" to data-toggle="collapse".

Answer 5

Try to put bootstrap js file before bootstrap css

Ex:

1. Link Bootstrap.min.js file first.

  <script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.3/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
 

2. Then link css file

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.3/css/bootstrap.min.css">

I got the same issue and after changing the positions of the js and css, dropdown works well. Hope it helped you.

Answer 6

I had the same problem then resolved. Often I due to a double import of bootstrap js libraries. Hope will help you.
