Hi

I have a fairly large site with long page titles which can’t be shortened.

I have a 3 level menu in the sidebar. Is it possible to hide the 2nd and 3rd level items until their parent is clicked?

I am impressed with X theme but wish there were easier ways to customize menus like you have for every other part of the layout eg setting the backround colors for sidebar nav would be handy.

Regards,

Neil

Hi There,

Thanks for writing in! 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 (perhaps some screenshots), we’ll be happy to provide you with a response once we have a better understanding of the situation.

Thanks.

Hi There,

Please add the following CSS:

.widget_nav_menu ul#menu-sidebar-nav li .sub-menu{
    display: none !important;
}
.widget_nav_menu ul#menu-sidebar-nav li.current-menu-item > .sub-menu {
    display: block !important;
}

Hope it helps 🙂

Thanks for getting back. It’s causing me a lot of head scratching :-)))

That works for Levels 1 and 2 but not for 2 and 3 unfortunately. When you are on the Level 2 page I would want to see the level 3 choices in the menu, under the selected level 2 one, but with that CSS you only see Level 1.

I’ve had to take your CSS off altogether as teachers use the site and won’t be able to navigate. It’s actually behaving in an odd way at the moment as on the home page (Level 1) it shows the whol Nav expanded, but on http://storlann.co.uk/mirean/clar-amais/ (also a Level 1 page , it correctly shows the level 2 pages.

Any help to get it working properly would be much appreciated

Hi there,

Thanks for updating. It seems you want dropdown functionality for the menu, right? It’s not usually possible for the sidebar menu but could be achieved through some custom codes. You can follow this thread for more information as it’s already discussed – https://community.theme.co/forums/topic/clickable-dropdown-sidebar-menu/

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

Hi

I tried these options but none worked in the way I need. I would have thought X-theme would have better menu support so I am going to find a plug-in or dump X for something else.

Thanks for trying anyway, I thought it would have been an easy thing to set up.

You’re welcome.

It would be great if you could look at adding more menu functionality in the future.
