  Hello everyone, I am wondering how I add additional pages from my photo gallery to the sidebar instead of the main menu. If I add to the menu it comes down as a drop bar when pages are added and I have many photo pages to add and I don’t want this long drop down list under the main menu. Can I put them onto the sidebar instead and what widget do use for that? Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks for your time.

  There are a couple different widgets you could use:

  The “Pages Widget” is probably the most straight forward:

  The “Custom Menu Widget” is similar but has a few different options:

  Since you are adding gallery links, you could make a custom image and then use the “Image Widget”. For example, say you wanted to make a link to a gallery of sunset photos. You could take one of your images, add the words “sunset image gallery” to it using Photoshop or another image editor, and then use the Image Widget to place it on your sidebar and set the link to point toward your sunset gallery page.

  There are a few other widgets listed on the widget page that might work, but I think those are your three best best.
