Styling easily

Resolved

Requested: 9 months and 2 weeks ago

Hi,

Is there a way for it to adopt the theme’s styling of left bar widgets – I use Kadence Theme Pro?

Is there a way for it to see the Theme’s color palette – it’s extremely troublesome to have to enter hex colors in when our theme already has all the colors setup?

 

How do I change the whole widget block area to a solid color – this is the style for all other widgets?

 

thanks

Chris

 

  1. Hi Chris,

    When no style settings are entered, the menus from this plugin are intended to use the themes default styles for the various elements.
    If your theme uses styles to target specific widget structure instead of the common structure generated by the menus, it will likely need one for the following:

    1. The CSS to be adjusted to include common structures as well.
    2. A CSS class to be added to the common widget structure to match what your theme’s styles are targeting.

    If you can provide a link to where I can see following, I will assist in matching the styles:

    1. The menu showing as un-styled.
    2. An example widget you would like to match.

  2. Thanks for the information, we’re going to setup a staging site to better describe some things. In the meantime, can you please advise how we control the scope of the menu dynamically when we are on child pages?

     

    For example, let’s say we have the following structure:

    About Us (parent – root level)

    – Welcome (child of About Us)

    — History (child of Welcome)

    — etc

    When visiting Welcome page, We’d like the Menu to display the Root Menu Item as Welcome, with no Root Level pages or other child pages of About Us displayed. The menu should hold all child and sibling pages of Welcome. This menu structure should be exactly the same, regardless of what child or sibling page of Welcome you are visiting. This behaviour would be consistent across the whole site and is the most common navigation practice for side menues.

    Currently this can’t be achieved with sidebar menu pro settings. I am happy to use php filters/actions to achieve it. Can you please advise how I can do this?

    Thanks.

  3. Hi Chris,

    Could you please clarify the following requirements:

    no Root Level pages or other child pages of About Us displayed. The menu should hold all child and sibling pages of Welcome.

    Sibling pages of “Welcome” are also child pages of “About Us”.

    For example:

    1. About Us
      1. Welcome
        1. History
        2. Geology
      2. Contact
        1. Address
        2. Phone

    If you are viewing the “Welcome” page, are you expected to see:

    A:

    1. Welcome
      1. History
      2. Geology

    B:

    1. Welcome
      1. History
      2. Geology
    2. Contact

    If you are viewing the “History” page, are you expected to see:

    A:

    1. History

    B:

    1. Welcome
      1. History
      2. Geology

    C:

    1. Welcome
      1. History
      2. Geology
    2. Contact

  4. Sorry, I didn’t explain well. Please see below for my response. All children and siblings should see the same menu…

  6. Hi Chris,

    Our team is on a retreat next week so here are some suggestions in the meantime.

    To accomplish menu example “A:” you will need the following menu settings:

    1. Display the highest level parent page – Unchecked
    2. Display the current page’s direct family only – Checked
    3. Display siblings when there are no children – Checked

    To accomplish menu example “B:” you will need the following menu settings:

    1. Display the highest level parent page – Unchecked
    2. Display the current page’s direct family only – Unchecked
