WHERE does this menu live?!

  • I’m updating a website that was set up by somebody else about 10 years ago. The company is out of business so there’s nobody to ask how they designed this site.

    The client has asked me to remove the left-hand navigation menu, but I can’t find where in WordPress the setting is that would turn it off, or get rid of it, or whatever.

    I’ve looked under Menus, in the Customize Theme Appearance menus, everywhere. The company designed the theme themselves, so I can’t contact the developers and ask them.

    I’m hoping someone here can glean something from the page source code. I’ve looked everywhere and can’t find anything that corresponds to this coding:

    <div id="content" class="clearfix"> <div id="breadcrumbsbar"> </div> <div id="contentwrap" class="clearfix"> <div id="left_column" style="min-height: 500px; margin-bottom: 15px;"> <h2 class="uppercase">NAVIGATION</h2> <ul class="treeview"> <li class="home"><a href="https://www.perrysburgtownship.us">Home</a></li> </ul> <ul id="menu-top-navigation-1" class="treeview"><li class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-has-children menu-item-1277"><a href="https://www.perrysburgtownship.us/general-information/">General Information</a><ul class="sub-menu"> <li class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-154"><a href="https://www.perrysburgtownship.us/general-information/general-statistical-information/">Historical & Statistical Information</a></li> <li class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-has-children menu-item-163"><a href="https://www.perrysburgtownship.us/general-information/what-is-a-township/">What is a Township</a> <ul class="sub-menu"> <li class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-218"><a href="https://www.perrysburgtownship.us/general-information/what-is-a-township/home-rule-township/">Home Rule Townships</a></li> </ul></li></ul>

Etc.

If anybody has any ideas, I'd be eternally grateful! This is driving me nuts.

  • For now, you can add this to your Customizer –> Additional CSS:

    left_column {

    #left_column {
width: 204px;
padding-right: 10px;
border-right: 1px dotted #ccc;
height: auto;
min-height: 300px;
float: left;
display: none;
}

    See here:

    Bc it is a custom theme, take a look in the template files under:

    /wp-content/themes/township_design/

    There may be a folder names templates, or not.

    The homepage is using this template:

    page-template-default

    Look for something called left column, or sometime sidebar

    The site is also using Ubermenu. So check out that plugin to delete the Left Menu.

    Thank you! Is there any way to center the content after I’ve removed the column? Everything shifts to the left and now it’s off-center.

    I looked at the template in the Themes, but it doesn’t include any information about the sidebar. I looked all over Ubermenu too and only found two menus, the one way up at the top and the top navigation menu. There’s also a mobile menu but that’s only for use on phones.

    How do I find the template files? I’ve looked all over the dashboard and can’t find a way to get to them.

    Thanks again for your help!

    Wanted to add, I tried plugging /wp-content/themes/township_design/ into the website name and it came up page not found. Do I add that after the website name in the URL? Or differently?
