Sidebar Custom Menu Widget Hacked & Won't Work on Sidebar

  • My Sidebar Custom Menu Widget has been hacked and now includes a requirement for me to select which Menu (Menu 2, which is horizontal and up top, and Social (Social media) I want it attached to. I know this was done to prevent me from using it for ads. Is there a way to fix this? Not sure if it is part of Jetpack or WordPress, but I guarantee what I am saying is correct. At least at the moment I am writing this.

    Another example of hacking (by a government agency): My 3-column widgetized footer keeps switching around all by itself. On one page, it will be the correct order; on another page, it won’t. Right now, all three columns are on the right side, one after another…Without me doing anything!

    BTW, this is also being done to discredit me. As soon as I have posted other, similar problems, they fix themselves magically…in the hopes that those who read these posts will think I’m crazy. No lie. When my blog is finally up and running, everyone will know that a crazy person could never have put it together. But the Fancy Boy Idiots are doing whatever they can to stall it.

    My site is still under construction.

    By default, the custom menu widget prompts you for a title and to select a menu. This is normal, your widget has not been hacked.

    You can create a new menu under appearance>menus and put any sort of links you want in it, give it a name, and then it will show up in the list of menus available to your widget.

    Thanks. I’m not certain about the links part, but I do see I can add a page on a sidebar menu. Intriguingly, the custom menu is the only one not bold by default. I’ll have to ask the developer of the theme about that, since I haven’t any additional fonts or font controls as yet.

    If you read this, can you tell me how I can add space for an ad on a sidebar?

    Thanks again.
