Use a menu or list?
3 replies · Started by Henk on January 29, 2022
Hi,
I would like to use a short menu (between 5 - 15 items) on the right side of a page (I'll define a grid 66% : 33%).
The menu will be included in the 33% part and refers to pages that are relevant for this context. This same short menu will also be used in the other 5-15 pages.
What's the best way to build this menu?
1) Define an extra worpress menu
2) Make a manual list and use this one with copy-past on all 5-15 pages?
One additional note, the menu should support the responsive mode. I mean, when the page is display on a mobile, the menu-items should be displayed as a list.
Thanks for your help.
Hi there,
the simplest method would be to use the Themes sidebar. You can then create a new Menu in Appearance > Menus and then display it using either:
a) the Secondary Navigation with its Location set to Sidebar
OR
b) use a Navigation Menu Widget in the Sidebar.
Hi David,
Thanks for your suggestions, based on your answer I came to an alternative solution.
* I created a menu for the specific context
* added some code to functions.php to create a shortcode to the context menu
* used the shortcode on the page to show the menu

Glad to hear you found a solution!
