Exploring WordPress Designing page or Posts

Hi there! 👋 Yes, you can create this in WordPress. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you set this up:

1. Create the Sidebar:
   • In your WordPress dashboard, go to “Appearance” > “Widgets”.
   • Here, you can add a new sidebar if your theme supports it. Alternatively, you can use an existing sidebar area.
   • Drag and drop the “Navigation Menu” widget into your sidebar area.
2. Create a Custom Menu for Sidebar:
   • Go to “Appearance” > “Menus”.
   • Create a new menu and add links to the content you want to display in the sidebar. These could be pages, posts, custom links, or categories.
   • After creating the menu, assign it to the sidebar widget area where you placed the “Navigation Menu” widget.
3. Make Sidebar Scrollable:
   • To make the sidebar scrollable, you will need to add custom CSS. Go to “Appearance” > “Customize” > “Additional CSS”.
   • Add the following CSS code:cssCopy code.your-sidebar-class { overflow-y: auto; max-height: 400px; /* Adjust the height as needed */ }
   • Replace .your-sidebar-class with the actual CSS class of your sidebar. You can find this by inspecting the page using your browser’s developer tools.
4. Ensure Links Don’t Navigate Away:
   • If you want the links in the sidebar to load content without navigating away from the page (like W3Schools), you’ll need to use AJAX or a similar technique. This is more complex and might require a custom plugin or a developer’s assistance.
   • Alternatively, you can link to anchor points within the same page. This will allow users to jump to different sections of the page without loading new pages.
5. Testing:
   • After setting everything up, test your sidebar to ensure it works as expected.

Hope this helps!
