== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= I don't have sidebar on my header, how can i add one? =

Adding a sidebar in wordpress is a quite easy task. You can [read instructions here](http://shailan.com/727/how-to-widgetize-your-theme-in-3-simple-steps/). If you don't want to add a sidebar consider using PHP template tag instead.

= I added this widget to my sidebar but it looks all weird! =

This widget is intented for *wide header widget areas*, not regular sidebars. You can add a sidebar to your theme or you can get a *all-widget* theme from  [shailan.com](http://shailan.com). If you don't want to add a sidebar, you can use php template tag instead. Read [php template tag](http://shailan.com/2773/dropdown-menu-widget-template-tag-usage-explained/) instructions [here](http://shailan.com/2773/dropdown-menu-widget-template-tag-usage-explained/).

= Can i create my own theme? =

Since this plugin works on CSS, if you are capable of writing CSS, you can customize the theme as you like it. If you want full customization select `None` as your theme.

= I don't know CSS, how can i customize it? = 

Plugin comes with various themes already installed. If you want something different, then you can [request a new theme](http://shailan.com/contact). 

= I found a bug! Where do i submit it? =

You can submit errors and bugs using the [online form](http://shailan.com/contact) on my site OR you can submit via [wordpress support tags here](http://wordpress.org/tags/dropdown-menu-widget).
