sidebar not visible / how to make subpages visible /adjusting menu

By Davor Ivaskovic, 9 years ago. Last reply by Andrew Misplon, 9 years ago.

Hello Team,

I have Vantage Pro and I wanted to know some things where I really get desperate.
sooo…please help.

1) I use the Vantage child theme and I have subpages which I don’t want to show up as Submenu. Instead I want them on the left side. How Do I Do this?

2) As navi bar I want to adjust the menu like this..
Home | Menu 1 | etc.. So every menu name has a “pipe” on both sides..

Any idea?

Thanks in advance.
Best regards

    Hi Davor

    Thanks for reaching out.

    1. Appearance > Customize > Theme Design > Sidebar. That’ll let you switch the sidebar position to the left. You could then add a Custom Menu Widget to the sidebar to display your pages. If you want to only display the menu on some pages use the plugin Jetpack > Widgets Visibility to setup when your widget will be displayed.

    Adding a left sidebar in addition to the theme’s right sidebar will unfortunately be a custom development job. We recommend https://codeable.io if you’re interested in getting that done.

    2. Try the following at Appearance > Custom CSS:

    /* Main Menu */

.main-navigation ul li a { 
  border-right: 1px solid #000;
}

.main-navigation ul li:last-of-type a,
.main-navigation ul ul li a { 
  border-right: none;
}

    Edit as required.

      HI Andrew,
      thanks for your reply.

      @ 1.) I don’t know why but I can’t see any kind of sidebar in my theme…
      @2) This works but how could I adjust the height of the border and I miss the border also on the left side.. should look like this:

      | Home | Menu1 | Menu2 |

      short pipes between each menu and one pipe right and left on the first menu topic (Home).

      Could you please help?

      Thanks again.

      Best regards
      D.

    Hi, I Work Here

    For sure.

    1. It looks like you’re using the Full Width or Full Width No Page Template on your pages. The sidebar unfortunately only appears when using the Default page template.

    2. Try changing your Custom CSS to the following to add a bar on the left of the first item and right of the last item:

    /* Main Menu */

.main-navigation ul li a { 
  border-right: 1px solid #000;
}

.main-navigation ul li a:first-of-type { 
  border-left: 1px solid #000;
}

.main-navigation ul ul li a { 
  border-right: none;
}

    I’d love to help further with this. It’s more of a custom development task. We try help out where we can with the small stuff but it’s not really covered under normal theme support. https://codeable.io is our recommended location if you ever need additional developer assistance. Sorry I don’t have more on this.
