    <?php get_sidebar(); ?>

    <ul id="sidebar">
    <?php if ( !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>
    <?php endif; ?>
    </ul>

    Have you tried using the built in menu in WordPress?

    I haven’t been working with DDMs for a while. I am not entirely sure how to style the default one.

    What you do is after you have added some pages i.e

    page1
    page2
    page3

    Navigate to Appearance >> Menus >> Create a new menu name “I will name mine navmenu”…..on the left hand side under Theme Locations you will be given 1 or 2 locations that the current theme you are using allows you to add menus too for example if you are using Twenty Eleven Theme. Select the location you wish to add the menu you just added “navmenu”.

    On the left hand side you will see a list of pages, the pages you created i.e.

    page1
    page2
    page3

    simple select the pages you wish to add to the menu “navmenu” and click on Add to Menu button. You will then see them on the right hand side added to the menu “navmenu”, click on save and you should see them either on top or bottom position depending on the area that the theme you have selected allows you too.

    Then if you wish to create a dropdown menu you simple drag the pages added to the menu “navmenu” with your mouse pointer as follow.

    page1
      page2 ----->> dropdown action
      page3

    or

    page1
      page2 ---->> dropdown action
        page3 ----->> dropdown action

    Save your new settings and you should see them on your website.

    Kind regards

    It seems that it works fine until I add Effects to the menu, then it doesn’t drop down, but without effects turned on it works fairly well, I just need to figure out how to get the menu to kick out to the side instead of just dropping straight down.

    Update, Found it in plugins\dropdown-menu-widget\themes\rounded-corders-light.css lines 35-38.

    /** Sub menus */
    ul.dropdown ul { }
    ul.dropdown ul li { margin-left:23px; }
    ul.dropdown ul li a{ font-size:1em;  }

    I added 23px left margin to give it a kicked out look.

    That is good news. So your configuration worked for you ?
