<p>This is a lightweight plugin to add a dynamic sub-menu to a WordPress menu.  It is known to work with <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/nav-menu-roles/" rel="ugc">Nav Menu Roles</a>.<br />
Caution is indicated if trying to use it with a theme, menu plugin, or anything that makes significant changes to how the WordPress menu is handled. It can insert a<br />
single sub-menu using any public taxonomy, such as catagories, tags, as well as woocommerce product categories or tags.  A seperate sub-menu for bbPress forums is<br />
available.</p>
<h3>Setup</h3>
<p>The settings screen can be reached either via the settings link on the ‘Installed Plugins’ page, or via the ‘Dynamic Taxonomy’ option on the ‘Appearence’ menu.</p>
<p>The settings screen will enable you to control things like:</p>
<ul>
<li>Which menu the sub-menu is added to, default is the primary menu.</li>
<li>Which taxonomy is displayed, default is categories.</li>
<li>The title used for the sub-menu, default is ‘Articles’.</li>
<li>The position in the menu, default is to appear as the second menu item.</li>
<li>The maximum number of items on the submenu, default is 7.</li>
<li>Listing order of the sub-menu items, available is Term Name, Post Count (default), and Term ID.</li>
<li>Which terms to exclude from the list, default is none, works for Category only (for now).</li>
<li>Whether to include an item count on the sub-menu, default is yes.</li>
<li>Items can also be limited by the count, ie: nothing with a count of less then N.  Default is 0.</li>
</ul>
<p>The plugin also allows you to show bbPress forums, although those options are limited to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Which menu to add the forum list to.</li>
<li>What position in the menu to take, default is the third menu item.</li>
<li>What text to use as the menu option, default is ‘Forums’.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Fully automatic sidebar menus.</h3>
<p>Uses the parent/child relationship of your pag<a href="../../../../phpstan/VERSION" rel="nofollow ugc">VERSION</a>es or categories to generate menus based on the current section of your site. Assign a page or category to a parent and Advanced Sidebar Menu will do the rest for you.</p>
<p>Keeps the menu clean and usable. Only related items display, so you don’t have to worry about keeping a custom menu up to date or displaying links to items that don’t belong.</p>
<p>Blocks are available to display menus where you need them. Look for the “Advanced Sidebar – Pages” block, or the “Advanced Sidebar – Categories” block. Widgets are also available for page builders or sites using classic widgets.</p>

<h3>How It Works</h3>
<p>When your users view a page or category, the Advanced Sidebar Menu plugin will calculate the related content based on what you have selected using the standard WordPress parent selectors.</p>
<p>The menu will be different for every page that displays the Advanced Sidebar Blocks because the menu is generated specifically to the current page.</p>
<p>Depending on “Pages” block options, the menu will display:</p>
<ul>
<li>The current page.</li>
<li>Parent page.</li>
<li>Child pages.</li>
<li>Grandparent pages.</li>
<li>Grandchild pages.</li>
<li>First level child pages related to the current item.</li>
</ul>
<p>Depending on “Categories” block options, the menu will display:</p>
<ul>
<li>The current category.</li>
<li>Parent category.</li>
<li>Child categories.</li>
<li>Grandparent categories.</li>
<li>Grandchild categories.</li>
<li>First level child categories related to the current item.</li>
</ul>
