I have an issue with Thesis Wordpress theme. I want to create a dropdown menu for my categories and archives in the sidebar, not the navigation menu.
If anyone knows how or can point me to a website where this is explained I will be grateful.
I dont't have the thesis theme but showing a dropdown for categories or archives is a standard WordPress Plugin. Just select them from the widgets page within your backend.

How do I create a dropdown for categories on the right sidebar in wordpress. I looked at some tutorials but all of them shows how to create a menu with dropdown that goes in the header.
I want the category filter to be like this specifically in the sidebar. Does this require extra plugin or can be done in the wordpress itself?
Any help would be appreciated. The wordpress theme is Hueman.
I figured it out. In case anyone else wants to know. Here's how:
Install the classic widgets plugin
Drag the categories to your widget area
I want to create a tutorial site like https://www.runoob.com/ by using wordpress. I want to create some pages, for example /java , and some subpages, for example /java/java-tutorial and /java/java-intro .
I want to show a navigation sidebar in each of these subpages. I want the sidebar list all links of the subpages. How to do it?
Thanks!

First create page which you want to put as a sub menu then go to appearance>menu in that select page and add in to menu but just put under the main menu/or the page you want to create a submenu in...
I'm currently developing a custom theme for Wordpress which also uses WPML. One of the features is a page independent "Quick navigation menu" that resides in the sidebar of pages.
My approach is to use custom menus (Appearance->Menus) for this. On Edit Page screens I want to include a metabox with a dropdown for selecting the right menu. Creating the metabox is easy:
function page_menus_meta(){
add_meta_box('page_menusid', 'Quick navigation menu', 'page_menus_metabox', 'page', 'normal', 'high');
}
add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', 'page_menus_meta' );
The problem is in displaying the available menus. It must be possible, since the widget "Custom Menu" exists and does exactly that. But when I list all menus I also get the menus translated by WPML which I do not want. I use..
$menus = get_terms('nav_menu');
..for displaying the menus.
My question: How do I list all english-only menus alike the Custom Menu widget?
Subquestion: If someone knows where the code for the Custom Menu resides in the WordPress core I might figure it out myself. Can't seem to find the file though..
