# Widgets stripping CSS

 * I’m trying to put a menu in a sidebar widget, however it only seems to display
   correctly if the content of the post/page the widget is on has a menu shortcode
   in it as well. Without a menu shortcode in the content area of the page it just
   shows up as a plain unordered list. Is there a way to make sure the textbox widget
   that contains the menu shortcode uses the proper CSS?
 * Sorry I can’t post a link, I’m setting up this site locally.

 * I was able to find the [ Widget CSS Classes ](https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-css-classes/)
   plugin that lets you specify a class for each text widget that seemed to do the
   trick after copying over the CSS from the erm-front stylesheet to the theme’s
   stylesheet.
 * Probably not the best solution, as it won’t inject any custom CSS specified in
   the Rest. Menus settings page so all those changes will have to be incorporated
   to the theme’s stylesheet as well, so if there’s a better way to do this out 
   there I’d definitely be interested in hearing it.

 * The plugin is not prepared for using the menu in a widget yet, I’ll take it into
   account..

 * Thanks again for your help and this really helpful plugin.
 * For the two column people out there I was able to put the shortcode into a half-
   page sidebar with text widget, and shortcode from a second menu in the post area,
   and it looked and worked great with a few themes I’ve tried.
