• I tried TWENTY SIXTEEN because I am trying to find a theme that will allow a collapsing sidebar menu without having a menu at the top. 2016 seemed ideal but no plugins that offer collapsible sidebar menus will work with this theme.
    Do I need to swap to another theme? Any suggestions?

    I have tried a few others but the look tends to be too dramatic – sorry for the pun given the subject matter. Or the sidebar menus will only work if there is a visible top menu also.

    Thanks

  • So you want the site main menu to be on the sidebar instead of the header top? And it’s gotta be a drop-down menu?

    Essentially that is it ??

    I have too many head menu items for it to fit on the top. And many sub items that therefore need to be drop down.

    Ok. that is not simple to do at all.

    I would rethink the whole menu. Do you really need so many items? Could be overwhelming for users. Maybe instead link to a category or tag that contains group of posts?

    But to offer a solution: you could create your own dropdown to put on a simple HTML sidebar widget using html:

    <form name="mymenu" action="" method="post">
    <select onchange="window.location.href=this.value">
    <option value="" disabled selected>Menu</option>
