 * Hi,
    I have a little problem. The menu in the sidebar does not work on pages.
   By that I mean the links are unresponsive. However from the homepage and categories/
   posts, it works fine.
 * Also, is there a way to freeze the sidebar when the scroll reaches the bottom
   of it?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fsidebar-menu-issues%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi, it has something to do with Elementor and the setup on pages. For some reason,
   the content area set within Elementor is overlapping the sidebar which is not
   allowing the links to be clicked. See the images below, the first one is on the
   homepage and notice how the blue highlighted section isn’t overlapping the sidebar
   area

 * However, on a page, the screenshot look like this

 * You can see how the blue highlight overlaps the sidebar. So you would need to
   adjust the width of the content area in Elementor on page templates to not span
   the full width and cover the sidebar.

 * Hi,
 * [@jarretc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jarretc/) – thanks for your response.
 * It seems the page issue with Elementor is fixed.
    I do also notice the footer
   width is not properly set, you’ve added a custom width of 74% but the content
   div above has a smaller width.
 * To “freeze” the sidebar is a bit of tricky because I’m using % for each element.
   
   For that it’s better to change that into px, example:
 *     ```
       #sidebar {width:auto; max-width:250px; position:fixed;}
       ```
   
 * But px is not so good for mobile device..

 * Thank you very much for those info. Indeed I was able to sort the elementor issue
   fairly quickly. It was a margin issue.
    I have not attempted the sidebar and 
   footer yet. The sidebar menu doesn’t look right on mobile phones though. Would
   that be a theme or an elementor issue?

 * Hi,
 * This is caused because of the custom sidebar width you’ve added. It now also 
   applies to the mobile stylesheet. Solve this by adding this CSS for mobile stylesheet:
 *     ```
       /* MOBILE */
       @media screen and (max-width:767px) {  
         #sidebar {width:100%;}
       }
       ```
