I am currently working with Magento 2.1.1 and have the Sebwite sidebar (https://github.com/Sebwite/magento2-category-sidebar) working along with the original Luma top menu.
The problem is that when I change the top menu's items, the sidebar will do the same. So, both seem to be configured as "root menu".
What I want to achieve is 2 menus containing different items.
I haven't been able to find the solution here or elsewhere on google. Hope anyone can help.
this extension shows categories and child's on the side bar. if you wand to show side bar menu and it is different from top menu, this extension is not useful for you.
you should use sidebar menu extensions

The site I'm working on has its main menu in the "Navigation" section in gantry. I have another 2 menus on the page (in the "header" area), though they don't actually link anywhere. They exist as "text separators" that show a module in the dropdown box that shows when the "link" is hovered over (so one is a spyglass that shows the search module in the dropdown).
When i shrink the screen size, gantry eventually causes the menu to disappear an then enables the mobile menu, accessed by the burger button.
The problem is, instead of hiding the actual main menu in the navigation section, it's hiding the first "fake" menu search button in the header section.
I can't see anywhere to set which menu is the one that should be hidden. How do i do this?
Been stuck on this since yesterday. Finally caved and post about it on this site then find the answer 20 minutes later, naturally.
I needed to check the box marked "Mobile Target" on the menu i want to be the one to be hidden. I thought this did something else so never tried using it but it seems so obvious now.
The Joomla! 3 administrative console in my installed version (Joomla! 3.1.5 Stable) plus at least a Joomla! demo web site showcase menus that don't switch to an article if you press them, but present only the drop-down menu at first. The rendered article (i.e. the content below the menu) only changes once a menu-item is selected/clicked.
For instance, visit demo.joomla.org. The content below the menu reads "Joomla! is a free, open source content management system ..." Now if you press e.g. "Joomla!" inside the menu, a drop-down list appears, but the cited text does not change yet. Only if you press a particular menu item it changes (currently e.g. to "Joomla! 2.5.16 Released ...").
I would like to accomplish the same behavior in a Joomla! 3-powered web site but haven't yet been able to do so. On my site (sorry, not yet available to the public) clicking a menu of this kind brings up the article, and so far I have found no way to prevent that. I'm referring to articles because my menus are of type "Single Article". I've looked at other menu item types too but they did not seem to offer a solution either.
So can the behavior the demo site's menus be accomplished (without installing further extensions), and if so how? After all, the demos are surely hosted on Jooma! servers :) Perhaps this is a matter of choosing an appropriate template? But then, the solution does not seem obvious and googling reveals different opinions as to whether this is/was possible at all.
UPDATE The following is a depiction of what I get when changing the menu item type for "Open Source" from "Articles | Single Article" to "System Links | Text Separator": it now looks odd and no longer seems to function as a menu (no drop-down effect). In the HTML source the CSS classes assigned to the three menu items are "item-x current active", "item-y divider parent", and "item-z parent" respectively. (Why isn't "Open Source" marked active?)
UPDATE I am using the protostar template (marked as Default for Site under Extensions | Type Manager).
Create the top-level menus as System - Separator; this means they have no link attached, but only serve the purpose of organizing (sub)menu links.
Then when you click them, based on the setup of your menu module, they will show the sub-items. Beware, the most common behaviour is not to wait until clicked, but simply show the submenu items when hovered (when you bring the mouse over them). But the event they respond to depends on the module (mod_menu), its template override, and other scripts your template may load.
Update:
If you're using mod_menu, in the module list it will be listed as Menu; if you were using another menu module, I guess you would remember installing it :-)
I am not a protostar / twitter bootstrap fan so I can't help you much on it, but dropdown menus are definitely supported, I just tried putting the menu in the position navigation, with
"Menu Class Suffix" = " nav-pills nav-dropdown"
and it worked correctly with dropdowns on hover. As per having dropdowns on click instead of hover, look at this guide
Iam have some problems with a drop down menu. I have asigned a drop down menu to the menu item "test 1". But when iam on the default page it wont show the drop down menu, when i hover the item. It only works when click on the menu item "test 1".
I need the dropdown menu to be showed, no matter witch page you are watching.
Can some one help me? I guess it is a simple styling, but cant seem to figure it out.

What module are you using for the menu system?
You may try using a different menu extension that the one being used currently.
It may be a CSS issue.
I have downloaded this template to my joomla 2.5.6 and I'm trying to create a horizontal menu. I have created menu and module that should be displaying that menu. I have set position to user3 (as I've read that is the default position for horizontal menu), but nothing showed up.
The only positions I can see my menu on are "search" and "top-panel".
Can anybody please guide me how to find what may cause the problem?
EDIT: I have renamed the menu to "menu1" and so did with "menu type" and it has showed up. Why? Where's any logic?
Thank you !
Make sure you have set on which pages to activate the menu:
You can find these settings in the module manager > your menu
check the positions using ?tp=1 at the end of your url
log in to your joomla backend.
go to article manager and create an article..
go to menu manager and create a new menu, select your article which will me mostly a single article if you have created others then choose others, such as featured article or others,
then on the same page on required setting choose the article you have created.
save and close..
now go to
module manager,
go to the menu or content menu or horizontal menu,
down below there will be menu assignment,
choose the menu and show to it all pages..
hope this will help you..
Thanks

I tried adding some pages in joomla but the navigation on the left disappears when following the newly add link. Please have a look here and notice the left navigation bar not showing under the "Test Menu Item" (left bottom).
I have literally copied all parameters from another menu item (e.g. "MILIEU") but it doesnt seem to affect the behavior. In stead the "news archive" item is always listed in the left navigation area.
How to remove the news archive link and have the normal navigation shown?
Please help!

Check the menu assignment of the module you want to show when a menu item is selected. Check this: http://www.byte.nl/cms/images/joomlatemplatecursus/jt15_5/menu-assignment.jpg
