Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Off-Canvas Sidebars & Menus (Slidebars)

No, due to the difference in structure not all theme's are compatible. Though most themes can be made compatible with some modifications!

Yes you can, keep in mind that the more sidebars you add the heavier the load on the server (PHP) and browser (JS) will be.

This plugin only provides the framework that handles the off-canvas part. There are some settings that slightly change the display but this is very limited. For more advanced customisations either: 1. Edit your theme style.css file (usually located in /wp-content/themes/YOURTHEME/). 2. Use a plugin such as Simple Custom CSS.
