I’m working on X-Theme and finally got a “left/right” Integrity layout I like. However, the left sidebar primary menu is not collapsed. All menu items appear in one long list. I have to clean up the look with CSS and custom settings, but the function is what concerns me. I’d like to resolve it before moving forward. It can be viewed here: http://www.night-chronicles.com. In an effort to supply as much information as possible, I did install Divi, but then opted to remove it in order to continue working with X-Theme which I’m familiar with. I’m wondering if there’s lingering files contributing to the error.
Hi there,
It seems you are referring the menu widget that you placed within sidebar. It’s not the primary X menu at all rather menu widget if someone want to have a list of some menu items in sidebar or any widget area. It’s not supposed to collapse either. So it’s working as expected but you are not using the right thing at right place.
If you need to show your menu on left panel then you can set “Navbar Position” to “Fixed Left” from Customize > Header – http://prntscr.com/cn9gjg
You can also use the integrated Superfly plugin that we bundled with X for your convenience exactly for the same thing you are trying to achieve. It will look much better than your current setup with menu widget.
Hope this makes sense.
Excellent guidance! I’m heading in the right direction and I stepped up and activated Superfly! I can see that the plugin is doing what I want — main menu items at top and blog widgets below. The only problem i can see now is that the blog widgets (recent posts, categories, etc.) appear in a large font, offset to the far left. I’m assuming this is a CSS issue or setting issue I missed in Superfly. If it’s a CSS issue, I’m not finding it anything I might have coded. If you could take a quick look and let me know, I’d really appreciate it! Thanks for the support!
Hello There,
Thanks for the updates! I’ve spent some time in your site and I couldn’t find the blog page. Could please provide the page in question? Regretfully, at this time I am not entirely certain what it is you would like to accomplish based on the information given in your post. If you wouldn’t mind providing us with a little more clarification on what it is you’re wanting to do (a link to a similar example site would be very helpful, or perhaps some screenshots), we’ll be happy to provide you with a response once we have a better understanding of the situation.
Thank you.
Okay, I think I’m getting closer to articulating my problem. I got the layout slightly closer to my goal. I have a feeling it’s gonna be my fault for not understanding what the native WordPress controls and what XTheme controls. I created a sample blog post and then played with the WordPress Template settings. So — right now, I have my menu for pages on the left and then the typical Blog options to the right. What I was hoping to achieve was that I could have my selected pages (green menu items) as they are now at the top and the blog menu (archives, search, etc.) below that in a single, clean column. Right now, it’s bascially two columns side by side, taking up massive real estate. Thank you again!
Hi there,
Hmm, they are on different contains (masthead and content), too far from each other and will require complex customization. But, we can try this easier one, please add this code to your customizer’s custom javascript.
jQuery('.x-sidebar').css({ padding: '20px', width: '100%'}).appendTo('.x-navbar-inner > div')Hope this helps.
Wow, yeah that helps and does the magic I needed! Your “hmmm” comment had me scared before I started! lol Thanks for the incredible support. It’s exactly what I was looking for. Now I can dive into the site, get it styled and up to speed. Thanks so much — seriously!
