Title: Menu responding like text Last modified: September 28, 2019 --- # Menu responding like text * Resolved [wen5820](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wen5820/) * (@wen5820) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-responding-like-text/) * Hi there, I’m still having issues. The menu is responding as text. I think this is because it is outside the container. I have tried locating the and every location but it makes no difference to the menu, it still responds as text. I have been trying for two days continuous to get this to work and can not. I will have to leave it and move on if I can’t get it to work very soon 🙁 Can you help? Thanks. * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fmenu-responding-like-text%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 17 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-responding-like-text/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-responding-like-text/page/2/?output_format=md) * Thread Starter [wen5820](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wen5820/) * (@wen5820) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-responding-like-text/#post-11977478) * I can’t get it to work.

I’ll try again Monday. If you can look at it and help to get it to work that would be great.

Have you read/followed the theme installation guide? **This guide is really important!** [https://github.com/JoryHogeveen/off-canvas-sidebars/wiki/Theme-setup](https://github.com/JoryHogeveen/off-canvas-sidebars/wiki/Theme-setup) * You still use `website_before` and `website_after` as hooks but these do not exist in your theme. In fact, it looks like the installation guide wasn’t followed at all. It looks like Generatepress is compatible with the basic theme setup. * Let me know! * Cheers, Jory * Thread Starter [wen5820](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wen5820/) * (@wen5820) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-responding-like-text/#post-11981731) * What I think is following the instillation guide exactly 10 times is what you think looks like is not following it at all. There is a communication issue with the installation guide if this is the result. I still can not understand what I need to do to get it to work. Referring me to the instillation guide that does not tell me in a way I can understand and follow does not help. * Plugin Author [Jory Hogeveen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keraweb/) * (@keraweb) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-responding-like-text/#post-11981747) * Please get yourself familiar with hooks (actions/filters) in WordPress. For Generatepress the following should work: * In your frondend settings of this plugin change the following: – Set the website before hook to: `wp_body_open` – Set the website after hook to: `wp_footer` * Let me know! * Thread Starter [wen5820](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wen5820/) * (@wen5820) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-responding-like-text/#post-11981838) * I have the sidebar working with a menu widget that is responding to text controls. I guess that your going to tell me that the menu is outside the container – how do I get it into the correct location? and Jory, thank you for your help. * Plugin Author [Jory Hogeveen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keraweb/) * (@keraweb) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-responding-like-text/#post-11982001) * Nope, the button is located correctly now! Personally I always prefer to use ` toggle` (default) as the button action instead of just `open`. In terms of exact location or styling you are free to do as you want. * > responding to text controls * What do you mean with this? * Thread Starter [wen5820](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wen5820/) * (@wen5820) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-responding-like-text/#post-11982067) * The menu responds to Customise > colors > Body. When clicked on the text changes color and the color remains changed. Then, on hover the color is the same as a clicked on link color, like links. They not respond in the Customiser to menu or anything else. * Plugin Author [Jory Hogeveen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keraweb/) * (@keraweb) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-responding-like-text/#post-11982266) * This is a theme/styling/UI related issue. This plugin only provides a way to create off canvas sidebars and populate them with content (widgets, menu’s, etc.). Styling is not part of this plugin. It’s likely that styling the contents in off canvas sidebars cannot be done with the customizer (other than using custom CSS). - This reply was modified 6 years, 7 months ago by [Jory Hogeveen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keraweb/). * Thread Starter [wen5820](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wen5820/) * (@wen5820) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-responding-like-text/#post-11982451) * well the menu there is being styled by the method described above: Customise > colors > Body – and is behaving like text. * Thread Starter [wen5820](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wen5820/) * (@wen5820) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-responding-like-text/#post-11982496) * . . . and so is the shortcode. * Plugin Author [Jory Hogeveen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keraweb/) * (@keraweb) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-responding-like-text/#post-11982616) * Correct, some settings could work depending on how the theme defines it’s CSS. But any styling/UI related issues are not within support for this plugin as it does not offer any styling customization. This is something you’d do with your theme, either with settings if possible or custom CSS. * Thread Starter [wen5820](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wen5820/) * (@wen5820) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-responding-like-text/#post-11982650) * Okay, thanks Jory. I will keep you updated on my progress with it.
