 * Hi,
 * I’m using twenty fourteen theme. I’m all excited about wordpress as a tool. Is
   it possible, and if so, how do I create an upper main menu, and after choosing
   one topic to have a submenu to the left?

 * Do not edit the Twenty Fourteen theme. It is the current default WordPress theme
   and having access to an original, unedited, copy of the theme is vital in many
   situations. First [create a child theme for your changes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes).

 * I don’t know if you understood me. In the upper menu I want, eg ‘about’. Entering‘
   about’ I want the left menu to open new categories, eg ‘about us’, ‘our history’,
   etc.

 * Yes – and that would take some pretty extensive theme development which needs
   to be carried out in a child theme.

 * Is there any other way? If I open one topic, for other topics to pop up?

 * After all it is possible to do something similar. I found it myself. Editing 
   the page, in ‘parent’ you can choose the menu topic you want to be as the parent
   to the ‘child’.

 * That won’t affect what is displayed in the sidebar.

 * True, but at least I could do this. Maybe there will be a new theme in the future
   with greater possibilities. Anyway, thanks for the support.
