  Hi everyone, I would like to make a dynamic side menu, which will contain categories, and when the user chooses one of the “root” menu, the same menu will show another data contained in that categorie.
  Is there a plugin to do so ?

  Thanks in advance.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  On WordPress.com sites, you can’t install plugins — this can only be done on self-hosted WordPress(.org) sites.

  For WordPress.com sites, I don’t think you can have different content in your sidebar based on what page you’re on — it will be the same on every page.

  The only workaround I can think of, is to have more than one menu in the sidebar, and then based on what page you’re on, you can make some show, or hide, with CSS.

  Obviously, in order to control CSS, you will need a Premium account or the Custom Design add-on.
