Adding sidebar menu to Twenty Ten–please help

  • Having a lot of difficulty figuring this one out. I want sidebar menus similar to the original page at https://www.borderlinecollective.org/courses/cooking-course/. I’m fine with keeping both the dropdown menu and also the sidebar menu (although I’ve also thought about trying to remove the dropdown).

    Right now, it’s just the blog post links appearing on the side, like here: https://strangejade.com/borderline/?page_id=922 which I definitely don’t want. Tried adding plugin list_subpages and made a new page template, but did not get far with it, as you can see here: https://strangejade.com/borderline/?page_id=929. Not only is the menu appearing in the wrong place, but I copied the submenu style from the original site to have something to start with, but there’s obviously no style there, it’s just plain links.

    I can’t find anything in the original site that did more than just
    <?php list_subpages_andreas01(); ?> and then the code in the style.css file to give the submenu style. I’ve tried it as just list_subpages() which is what makes the plain list of links, and also tried replacing andreas01 with a various versions of twentyten, twentytenchild, twentyten-child, etc, which gives a fatal error in that spot.

    Any help greatly appreciated!

  • If you are using the Twenty Ten theme or a variant (child theme)!

    Admin > Appearence > Menus > Create new menu, Add pages, categories, posts (posts activated from screen options) save the menu.

    Add the menu widget to your sidebar and select the new menu.

    Twenty Ten Theme (changing the style)

    Changing the values for your theme sidebar menu style, only if you are not happy with the default.

    Add to style.css, change values below to match your theme.

    /* Start style the left menu */
#menu-contentright a,
#menu-sidemenu a
{
	color: #000;
	padding: 0;
	margin-left: 0px;
	line-height: 30px;
	text-transform: uppercase;
	font-size: 13px;
	font-weight: bold;
	text-align: left;
}

#menu-contentright li:hover > a,
#menu-contentright ul ul :hover > a,
#menu-sidemenu li:hover > a,
#menu-sidemenu ul ul :hover > a
{
	color:#ffff33;
}

#menu-contentright ul li:hover > ul,
#menu-sidemenu ul li:hover > ul
{
	display:block;
}
/* End Style the Left Menu */

    Hi, just to clarify….this only creates one type of menu, right? I did see that link in the admin section and didn’t think it was right. I wanted a different subpage menu on each page. I haven’t been able to figure out a way to have widgets change per page yet.

    Hello,

    I am attempting to accomplish the same thing. I am using the Twenty Ten theme. My URL is: https://oprn.ca/
    I need to have a menu on each of my pages but because they will have different contents, I am looking for a way to make an individual menu to each page. This I am hoping can be accomplished by writing a CSS for each page, but not sure if there is a tutorial on this or not.

    If anyone has any idea’s or a link to a tutorial, I would be grateful hearing from you.

    Many thanks in advance.

    Don’t edit the Twenty Ten theme. Your changes will be over-written the next time you upgrade WordPress. For this reason, it is recommended that you consider creating a child theme for your customisations. Once your child theme is active, we should be able to help with the customisation.

    Hi Esmi,

    From everything I have read I know you are right about the Child Theme. I am not sure exactly how to do this process, but do you happen to know of a good tutorial on how to write the Child themes?

    I would be grateful for any info you, or anyone may know of on how to write and impliment child themes.
    Many thanks for your help!
