Hi!

I can see that the child categories are not indented. To fix this, you can add this in Customizer > Additional CSS:

.widget_categories .children {
    padding-left: 20px;
}

You’ve mentioned that “I’d rather have the subcategories hidden until someone clicks or hovers over the top category.”. Sadly, this widget is from WordPress itself, and currently, they do not have an option to show the categories this way.

To have a dropdown, you can enable Display as dropdown option – https://share.getcloudapp.com/kpu81PJP.

I hope this helps and let us know if we can assist you further.

Thank you very much for your help!

I was able to fix this myself, but there is too much space between each menu item in the sidebar. How can I decrease that space?

Hi, Tamie!

There are default top and bottom spacing for navigation menus’ links. Add this to Customizer > Additional to remove the padding and decrease their spaces in between:

.primary-sidebar .collapse-sub-navigation ul.menu li a {
    padding-top: 0em;
    padding-bottom: 0em;
}

Let us know if we can assist you further.

Best Regards,
Karla

That worked perfectly. Thank you very much for your help.
