You can create a horizontal navigation easy with stripes. But how would I go about creating a navigation for a vertical navigation bar on the left hand side of the page?

Just solved it. Basically use a floating group and then you can change a setting to horizontally float it. Closest you’ll probably be able to do it in Bubble.

@georgeciobanu Interesting. Is there a way to always have the side menu open with that plugin? Can’t find the setting to change is so that the menu is always open.

No - it’s designed specifically to show/hide in order to get out of the way once a selection is made. A good feature to know of, especially if you target mobile where screen space is a premium 😄
