[Support request] Sider from site library – menu order

[Ketil]

Hello. Thought I’d use “Sider” for a project where a sidemenu would be convenient. The sidebar-menu doesn’t look right (order of objects and layout), what could be the problem?

Hi,

For starters, can you check if your site is using flexbox?

To check, go to Appearance > Customize > General and change the structure dropdown to flexbox.

More about flexbox: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/switching-from-floats-to-flexbox/

Note: This is only available on GeneratePress v3 or newer.

updating theme fixed it, thanks.

Nice one! No problem. 🙂

Fitting wider menu-elements needs to be done by CSS, I assume? this site has some long link descriptions.
Is there setting to keep second level open when a second level page is open?

True. You may to playaround with properties like min-height or word-break along with setting the li.menu-item to display:flex so you could use align-content:center in some cases.

Is there a way to filter frontpage posts by category?

Is there a way to filter frontpage posts by category?

As this is a completely separate issue from the original topic, can you open a new one for this?

We’ll make sure it gets addressed. Thank you.

it’s ok, I’ll figure it out

Didn’t find out about second level staying open, it would be convenient when menu is in the sidebar.
Is there a way, or do I need a different menu for this?

Hi there,

I’m not too sure what you mean – can you explain a bit more?

[Ketil]

I want to see the second level of the menu folded out when a page from second level is the active one.
In example from private information, the page in link is on second level, but the menu only shows first level links. Is there a way to have the second level open when a second level-page is active?

This will need customized script which is out of our scope of support.

But for the sake of helping you out, try this vanilla JavaScript code:

Add this to your site’s footer.

Let us know if you need further help.
