Advanced Sidebar Menu

Description

The Advanced Sidebar Menu plugin creates fully automatic sidebar menus that utilize the parent/child relationship of your pages or categories. This means you can assign a page or category to a parent, and the plugin will generate the appropriate menus for you.

With this plugin, only related items are displayed, ensuring your menus remain clean and usable. You won't have to worry about updating custom menus or showing links that don't belong.

Blocks are available for displaying menus wherever you need them, such as in page content, widget areas, or the theme customizer. You can also use classic widgets for compatibility with older sites.

FAQ

The menu in this plugin is smart enough to not show up on pages or categories where the only thing that would display is the title. While it may appear like the menu is broken, it is actually doing what it is intended to do.

The most common causes for this confusion come from one of these reasons:
1. The incorrect menu was selected. Categories have their own widget/block as pages have their own widget/block.
2. “Display the highest level parent page” or “Display the highest level parent category” is not checked.
3. The Pages menu is currently not being viewed on a page.
4. The Categories menu is not currently being view on a category.

You may add CSS to your theme’s style.css to change the way the menu looks.

For example, the following CSS would:
1. Remove the dot to the left of the menu item.
2. Change the link color.
3. Add a background on hover.

.advanced-sidebar-menu li.current-menu-item a {     color: black; } .advanced-sidebar-menu li.current-menu-item {     list-style-type: none !important; } .advanced-sidebar-menu li.current-menu-item > a:hover {     background: teal; }
