    Problem solved!
    I had edited to original footer.php file, but not the footer file in the child theme. Now it works!

    I am really still on the learning curve (-:

    The use of the internal menu you recommended – well I was using that all the time. By linking the name oft the menus created there in the Author settings-menu, I was in fact not using the selected menu widget. That’s why all the menus looked and worked the same, regardless of the menu widget selected.
    The widgets menus have to be activated separately under widgets. But in Author, the close-open hierarchical features of those widgets do not seem to work. Some are always completely expanded, other do not show a hierarchical structure.

    Sorry for creating confusion and thank you for your patience. I am looking forward to the next upgrade.
    Best regards

    Sure

    one of the menus is called simple page ordering
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-page-ordering/

    I tested that with Opera 12 and Firefox.

    Well, displaying the menu completely open could become unwieldy. There are no options in the widget settings to control any open-close behavior and doing some programming is beyond my means.

    Just to share a few observations: I testes 3 menu widgets on six themes with left side bars. All widgets behaved similarly. On 4, none of the hierarchical features of the widgets worked. On two, Author and Twenty Fifteen, they worked. The difference is: in Twenty Fifteen, a sub menu structure remains open when a page is opened, in Author, the menu structure completely closes. There is an interaction between the working of the widgets and the theme.

    Kind regards

    Hi Ben,
    thanks again. That was very helpful.

    I am rather new to WordPress and still playing with the features, but I am slowly getting it.

    I tested 2 hierarchical menus – “simple page ordering” and “custom menu wizzard”. Both work although the first appears to be able to show more hierarchical levels. What is a little bit annoying is when I go down the hierarchy and click on an item, the corresponding page shows up but the menu completely closes back to the main level items. Is there a way to prevent that and keep the selected hierarchy level visible?

    @ Hi Ben,

    Thank you for the fast answer. It works, but now a follow up question: I test-wise changed the numbers, but the new width seems to remain the same.
    Is fine tuning possible?

    @ Md Musa
    sorry, I can’t show you now. Right now I am testing that on localhost
