Need more customization

Hi Rebecca,

For the first request, would you like the grandparent page to be hidden when on any of the pages below it or just when on the mentioned page?

For the second request, one approach is to use a separate widget on the pages you would like to control the order on and select “Page Order”. Then leave the current widget intact for the pages you want it the menu ordered alphabetically. If you are using a shared sidebar and do not have the ability to change the widget per page, you could send us a list of the pages you would like the menu ordered by “Page Order” and we will write a filter for you that will automatically change the widget ordering on the provided pages to “Page Order”.

Have a great night!

Good Morning Rebecca,

This may be accomplished by adding the following filters to your active theme’s functions.php file:

This filter will set the highest level page to “Cal Adventures” for any page which is below it. Because you are not showing the highest level page in the widget, the “Cal Adventures” page will then automatically be hidden and the rest of menu will function like normal.

<?php add_filter( 'advanced_sidebar_menu_top_parent', function ( $top_id, $args, $instance, $object ) { if ( in_array( 421, get_post_ancestors( $object->get_current_post() ) ) ) { return 421; } return $top_id; }, 10, 4 );

This filter will change the “Order by” to “Page Order” when on any of the targeted pages using their ids. You may then order the pages shown in the menu by changing the page order. You may also use a plugin like Simple Page Ordering if you want to drag/drop the order of the pages.

<?php add_filter( 'advanced_sidebar_menu_order_by', function ( $order_by, $post ) { $menu_ordered = [ 191, 599, 479, 425 ]; if ( in_array( $post->ID, $menu_ordered ) ) { return 'menu_order'; } return $order_by; }, 10, 2 );

Have a great day!

If you uncheck “Display current page’s parents only” the siblings of the current page will start showing up.

Certainly, the PRO version has another widget called “Advanced Sidebar Navigation Menu” which lets you create custom menus and manage them within the “Menus” screen.

Have a great night.

Good Morning,

The following filter will allow you to display the highest level parent when on a highest level parent page:

<?php add_filter( 'advanced-sidebar-menu/menus/widget-instance', function ( $instance, $args, $widget ) { if ( 'Advanced Sidebar Pages Menu' === $args['widget_name'] ) { $_post = $widget->get_current_post(); if ( null !== $_post && 0 === $_post->post_parent ) { $instance['include_parent'] = 'checked'; } } return $instance; }, 10, 4 );

Have a great day!
