Hello,
I try to make a custom menu in the sidebar of my pages but I can’t find the solution. I’d like to make a secondary menu on the left of my pages (like this : http://kriesi.at/themes/enfold/pages/) and I want to custom it (text, link, shape).
How can I do this please ?
Thanks for your help,
Franck
July 23, 2014 at 11:02 pm #295181Hey SphereEvenements!
That is the WordPress custom menu widget with a menu selected. You would then need to use custom css to change the appearance of it as the theme doesn’t have customization options for it.
You can also look for a plugin that comes with more style options if you aren’t comfortable with CSS. Ex: https://wordpress.org/plugins/jquery-vertical-accordion-menu/
Best regards,

Best regards,

It’s Ok I’ve created a sidebar menu with the WordPress custom menu widget, but could you tell me where can I change CSS for this menu please ? (without changing CSS of the main menu)
Thanks !
Best regards,
FranckJuly 24, 2014 at 2:07 pm #295422Hey!
Can you post the link to your website and point out the menu? Also, what changes would you like to make?
Best regards,
YigitJuly 24, 2014 at 2:18 pm #295428I work in local mode so I can’t post the link of the page wich there is the menu :(
But my menu seems like this one : http://kriesi.at/themes/enfold/pages/I ‘d like to have a kind of mega menu in my sidebar like this :
* PAGE 1 CATEGORY
page on subject 1
page on subject 2
page on subject 3
* PAGE 2 CATEGORY
* PAGE 3 CATEGORYI’d like to change default font, font weight, and maybe add a illustration before the title of de page category
Thank you Yigit
FranckJuly 24, 2014 at 2:23 pm #295429Hey!
Please add following code to Quick CSS
.widget_nav_menu a { font-family: arial; font-weight: bold; }
You can try using UberMenu – http://codecanyon.net/item/ubermenu-wordpress-mega-menu-plugin/154703 but it may require some customisations for side menu as well
Cheers!
YigitJuly 24, 2014 at 2:51 pm #295446Ok thank you ! How can I add a bullet point (or icon, or image) before the text of the categories in my menu please ?
How can I change CSS of each level of my menu (category, sub-category) and the placement of them please ?
Can I use mega menu in the side bar ?Best regards !
FranckJuly 24, 2014 at 4:57 pm #295473Hey!
1- There are bullet points on my local installation, please see – http://i.imgur.com/ymYGelX.png
2- Can you elaborate please? Please my screenshot above. Indentation is fine on my menu
3- You can try using UberMenu – http://codecanyon.net/item/ubermenu-wordpress-mega-menu-plugin/154703 but it may require some customisations for side menu as wellBest regards,
YigitJuly 24, 2014 at 6:20 pm #295566Hey Yigit,
You can see my menu here : http://www.sphere-evenements.com/menu-gauche-enfold.jpgAs you can see, there is no bullet point in front of my categories. Also, my menu is not aligned at left but at right (sub-categories are shifted to the left, when yours are shifted to the right).
However, in your screenshot, all levels of your menu have the same CSS (bold, color). I’d like to differentiate each level with CSS but I don’t know how.
Then, I’d like to replace the bullet point by an image or something else than a point. Is it possible ?
Thanks for your help :)

Can you post a link to the page with the menu please? It helps us to investigate the structure and css code.
Best regards,
PeterJuly 29, 2014 at 5:50 pm #297366Hi !
Sorry for the delay of my response !
I work in local mode so where can I find the “.css” folder in my local website to show you the structure and css code please ?
Thank you,

July 30, 2014 at 2:15 am #297485Hi!
Thank you for the info.
I’m sorry but we really need to inspect the actual website in order to give you a proper css solution. If possible, please post a screenshot of how you want the menu to look like in the end.
Cheers!
IsmaelJuly 30, 2014 at 5:46 pm #297841Hi Ismael,
Thank you for your answer.
To have this customized menu (with category and I want to show), I use WordPress custom menu widget with a menu selected.
Unfortunatelly, as I work on local mode, I can’t give you an on-line accessible URL.
I’d like my menu looks like this : http://www.sphere-evenements.com/maquette-menu-gauche-enfold.jpg
With :
– Expandable menu
– Customized arrows which appears when we click on the category to expand the sub-menu
– Customized colour of the category when we are on the page
– Different colours and font to organize my menu into a hierarchyThanks for your help !
Best regards,
FranckAugust 3, 2014 at 7:48 am #299272Hey!
Unfortunately this customization is beyond the scope of our support forum. The arrows, expandable submenu, etc. requires quite a lot of work (overall probably more than 3 hours) and we can only help with small css code adjustments. If you want to add such a menu you can try wordpress plugins like UberMenu or a plugin featured in this article: http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/free-wordpress-accordion-menu-plugins/

PeterAugust 3, 2014 at 12:11 pm #299319Hi !
Ok thank you, I understand.
So, could you help me to adjust CSS code of this static menu please ? http://www.sphere-evenements.com/menu-gauche-enfold-static.jpg
Thank you,
Best regards,
FranckAugust 4, 2014 at 2:50 am #299481Hi!
Alright. You can use the custom menu widget then remove the default bullet points using this on Quick CSS or custom.css:
#top .widget_nav_menu ul ul li:before { content: ''; position: absolute; top: 5px; } #top .widget_nav_menu ul ul li.current-menu-item:before { content: url('ARROW GRAPHIC URI HERE'); width: 3px; height: 3px; display: block; position: absolute; top: 5px; }
Create your own arrow image then place it as content value of the current-menu-item.
Cheers!
IsmaelAugust 4, 2014 at 10:26 am #299567Hi Ismael,
Thank you for your help. As you see : http://www.sphere-evenements.com/menu-enfold-sidebar-arrow.jpg, I have problems with differents things :
– My categories are not aligned like this : http://www.sphere-evenements.com/menu-gauche-enfold-static.jpg.
– The first category have a grey background and is not in orange like this : http://www.sphere-evenements.com/menu-gauche-enfold-static.jpg
– The arrow is on the right of the text and not on the left
Thank you,
FranckAugust 4, 2014 at 8:39 pm #299851Hi!
Please refer to Peters post above about advanced customization for things outside of the theme: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/custom-sidebar-menu/#post-299272
If you want individual customization for the menu then you’ll need to look into a freelance developer from somewhere like Codeable or Envato Studio.
Cheers!
