In “Yellow Pencil” it is almost no problem to change the visually layout of the sitebar.

But some of the sitebar code is written in JS. But I can’t find that part of the code in the code editor. And I would like to change the color settings when a subpage is chosen as all the upper pages gets very dark gray when doing so and it is almost impossible to see them on a black background. And I would like to keep the background color.

Do you know where I should try to find the JS code in the code editor ? – I mean under which part of the code in the code editor should I try to find it ?

The code belongs to the plugin “Dropdown Menu Widget”, which is totally free. I’ve chosen the “Shiny Black”-menu style theme.

I use the plugin for my primary menu, and it seems that the plugins JS code also influences my sitebar menu which is only nice. But I would like to change the used color for my sitebar only and not for my navigation bar. I have almost done it, but as said before, I miss to change the color changing which seems to happen in the JS code.

I have bought the plugin “Yellow Pencil” to try to change the layout of the sitebar.

I do not totally get the layout that I want, but at least it is a big step on the way.

I especially miss the expansion option; that the menu shows the subpages by expanding, instead of just seeing all the subpages in the menu from the start.

Can you help with that… ?

Sorry, but I do not know anything about CSS code.

That’s why I ask if the author of this theme could incorporate such a sitebar layout in the theme or if someone could recommend me a plugin where I can make such a sitebar or if someone may have the code I need to make such a sitebar.

But thanks a lot for your time and effort.

Or can anyone recommend a plugin for that ?

Thank you for your code.

Regarding:

And where the sidebar expand by clicking on a parent side link or a subpage with lower subpages, but does not folds back in again when clicking on a lower subpage link. Instead, it must first fold in again when clicking on a parent side or another higher level subpage link.

I want a sidebar menu that:
1) Is made up by predefined custom menus in the WP menu-editor so that I can have different menus for different parts of the site
2) Only shows the subpages that is one level under the page (parent page, subpage, etc.) that is viewed/clicked on
3) Shows the subpages by expanding the menu, instead of a vertical dropdown menu, so that it is possible for the students to see where I am on the site all the time in the classroom

I hope this is easier to understand.

I’m not good at English either.

On almost all the pages on the site I want to display the sidebar.

I have made different menus for different pages so that I can keep the sidebar with as less content as possible, and on the same time both show where I am on the site, how to get to that page and which other subpages there are under the same parent page – for easier navigation and overview.

Regarding the concept “responsive menu” I see that I have misunderstood the meaning of this word. I thought it meant that the menu was able to expand by clicking on a parent page link and automatically folded in again shortly after. But now I see that it means that the menu is able to automatically fit the screen size of the used device.

What I need is a simple sidebar with a nice layout where it is very easy to see the different levels of parent pages and subpages. And where the sidebar expand by clicking on a parent side link or a subpage with lower subpages, but does not folds back in again when clicking on a lower subpage link. Instead, it must first fold in again when clicking on a parent side or another higher level subpage link.

Hope you understand… 🙂

The width and position is not the problem – it’s fine.

It’s the rest…
