Adding a veritical sub-menu in left or right page column sections

Ping

Hi there,

this plugin can do the job:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/be-subpages-widget/

Or Bill actually provides the basic PHP to convert the secondary menu to display sub pages. Note: you must assign a menu to the Secondary menu for it to work, I used the same menu as the Primary nav has.

David,

Thanks for your support. I installed be-subpages-widget and put the widget in the "Left Sidebar" under: Appearances > Widgets

But the sub-page menu does not display. I have tried customizing the "Sidebar" options with almost every conceivable option. I would think that setting all of them to "Sidebar / Content" would get it to work right somewhere. But it never appears.

Any suggestions?

Can you go to Customizer > Menus, and the menu you have assigned to your Primary Navigation also assign it to the Secondary Navigation.

Hi David,

The Secondary Navigation was not assigned. So I assigned the Primary to the Secondary, but the result was not what I wanted. That resulted in simply putting the same horizontal Primary Menu, vertically.

What I want, is a sub-page menu vertically, that only shows the one parent and all the child pages listed in vertical menu format, in the left sidebar. These sub-pages are not defined in any particular Menu and they are different for each primary page. See http://c56368.sgvps.net/~dnrstudios

I thought the plugin you suggested would have given me that, but it did not produce any output.

I got it to work. Stupid me. I had all my pages on one level without any parents. Just corrected that.

But now one other question, how do I change (enlarge) the font used for the subpage menu?

I can't tell if it's the same font as the rest of the page, other than size.

EDIT
Glad to hear that
Can you link me to a page with the sub menus? Currently i get a 404

David,

You got a 404 by clicking the parent page, which is a redirect to the first sub-page. And the redirect doesn't work yet due to the linking method. So if you go to the first sub-page, you'll see the menu:

Try this:

.sidebar .widget {
    font-size: 15px;
}

Perfect, it worked. I bumped it up to 18px.

Awesome. Glad to be of help.
