I wish to see different sidebar-menus at different sites (as shown in the picture above.<br /> If I client on main menu item 1 I want to see a different submenu at the side than when I click on main menu item 2.

You can include it as the first item. Simplest... Otherwise:</p> <p>1) register a new menu as per the mega menu thread.<br /> 2) add it to the abovemainaside hook.<br /> 3) style as you wish</p> <p>So in your functions file:<br /> <pre><code>register_nav_menus( array( &#39;primary-menu&#39; =&gt; __( &#39;Primary Menu&#39; ), &#39;sidebar-menu&#39; =&gt; __( &#39;Sidebar Menu&#39; ), ) ); function menu_abovesidebar(){ echo &#39;&lt;div class=&quot;main-aside&quot;&gt;&#39;; wp_nav_menu( array( &#39;theme_location&#39; =&gt; &#39;sidebar-menu&#39; ) ); echo &#39;&lt;/div&gt;&#39;; } add_action(&#39;thematic_abovemainasides&#39;,&#39;menu_abovesidebar&#39;);</code></pre> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/submenu-above-sidebar#post-26609 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 21:50:52 +0000 pipsologie 26609@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>There are many question about menus, and I went through a lot of them in this forum, but I could not find any solution to my problem:<br /> I want my submenu not to appear as a dropdown, but above the sidebar as illustrated here: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/28112913@N03/6964683470/in/photostream" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/28112913@N03/6964683470/in/photostream</a></p> <p>Any suggestion how to handle this? </p>
