[Resolved] Sort order of pages in menu & sidebar colour

[Richard Hess]

Hi, Tom,

First, as an aside, why can’t I find EXHIBIT through add a theme? The link you sent worked, but now that it’s installed from my HDD rather than via the WP page, will it update?

Now, in the Exhibit Menu system, it seems that the pages either obey the sort order or default to sorting either by the ID# or the date created. Everywhere else, the sorting is alphabetical if the page order is left at 0.

Can I make the menu auto-sort alphabetically? I don’t want to have to change sort order manually as we add new interviews. All the other stuff in the sidebar and elsewhere snaps to alphabetical order.

Now if you go to the interviews page the sidebar has the space between two widgets filled in by adding this to the custom CSS:

.sidebar {
background: #eeeeee;
padding: 0;
}

How can I make the entire sidebar background that colour and lose the white border?

Sort of like this old and creaky theme:

Hi Richard,

Good point – I’ll have to get in contact with some of the WP.org people and see why the child themes (except for Forefront) won’t show up. Hopefully will have that resolved soon. It will still update 🙂

I’m actually not sure of a way to have the menu items sort alphabetically when using the Menu system (that’s worth it).

I did some looking around for plugins, but came up empty-handed.

As for the sidebar thing, this thread may be helpful: http://generatepress.com/forums/topic/equal-length-columns/page/2/#post-38550

Thanks!
