Hi,

I need a sidebar menu on some pages (see link below). I've found one way to set this up is to create a menu, set this page to have a left sidebar, open the page in the customizer and add the menu to the left sidebar.

But this means I need to write custom CSS to style this menu. Is it possible to create the menu using a Block Element and use that element somehow?

Thanks!

p.s. I posted a follow-up issue with trying to get the title to display full-width above the sidebar, but I managed to get that done using a hook element.

Hi there,

you can use a Block Element - Sidebar:

This will overwrite the sidebar on tat page.
Within that element you can use the Navigation Block.
