# Left Sidebar Menu Issue

 * Each time I make a change to page within my site, the left sidebar menu changes
   to a default “contact” menu instead of the custom category menu I made. It appears
   correctly when I initially create a page, but when a change or update is made,
   it automatically switches from the custom menu to the “contact” menu.
    It’s annoying
   having to go back and change the menu to the correct one over and over again.
   Any suggestions on how to fix this?

 * Site isn’t visible to public.
    It only shows up when working in the admin panel.

 * I worked with a guy who had a similar problem, but only on one page chaining 
   the Template.
 * I would say try it on a new page, update the Theme, or check the WP Install.

 * It does it on all pages, new and old. I’m up to date on all ends.
