 * This might have been answered already but I am looking for a way to only show
   the current menu that I am on and hide the items below the other menus.
    Here
   is a specific page:
 * [http://www.merchantserviceworld.com/merchant-resources/what-is-interchange/](http://www.merchantserviceworld.com/merchant-resources/what-is-interchange/)
 * In this scenario I would like the left menu to hide all the items under Products&
   Services. Since I am on an item that is under the name Merchant Resources it 
   should show the items underneath it.
 * I hope I was clear on what I was trying to do.
 * Thank you.

       .widget_nav_menu .menu .menu-item:not(.current-menu-ancestor) > .sub-menu {
       	display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * You might want to search for an accordion menu that loads with only current section
   open but can be opened by the user.

 * Thank you for your quick response my friend. I am not very technically savvy 
   but know enough I think. Where would I put the code that you provided?

 * Thanks for the help everyone. I think I am one step away from getting this to
   work the way I want it to. I have updated the CSS as stated above. There is one
   more thing I would like it to do. When I click on Merchant Resources (and not
   on a submenu of Merchant Resources), I would like the left menu to still show
   all the submenus in that category.
 * when I hit this link it doesn’t do it. It only shows to top category and not 
   the submenus on the left.

 * But if I hit a submenu on the top menu it shows it like I would like it on the
   left menu:

 * You have this code which is suppressing it:
 *     ```
       .widget_nav_menu .menu .menu-item:not(.current-menu-ancestor) > .sub-menu {
         display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * You’ll need some more specific css to achieve your original goal

 * Thanks Rdellconsulting but I am not a coder so I have no idea what code to use.
   Again what I am trying to accomplish is for the left menu to show the top menu
   and its submenus for the top menu selected. I think I am almost there. The problem
   is that when I click on an item that has a top menu it doesn’t show the submenus.
   Heres the example:
    [http://www.merchantserviceworld.com/merchant-resources/](http://www.merchantserviceworld.com/merchant-resources/)
   If I click on this one I would like it to show the top menu and the submenus 
   in it.

 * You have a custom-css.css file which contains that code above, which is causing
   the problem. Remove that code and the full menu should appear in the sidebar.
 * If you’re expecting the sidebar dropdown sub-menu to appear depending upon which
   of the top navbar items is clicked, that’s a bigger issue and will need some 
   javascript (or maybe you found a plugin?)
