Can I add a sidebar menu to Ride theme?

Topic summary

Request to add a sidebar menu (e.g., listing product collections) to the Ride theme for easier navigation. A second participant asks if a solution was found.

Shopify staff clarify that Ride does not support a sidebar menu via the Theme Editor (Shopify’s built-in visual customization tool). It can be achieved with theme code changes.

Since Ride is a Shopify-supported theme, Shopify may assist through “design time” (support-provided help for limited theme customizations). To pursue this, users should contact Live Support via the Help Center.

No built-in toggle or setting exists; the path forward is custom coding with possible Shopify assistance. No confirmation of implementation or step-by-step code was provided.

I was wondering if it’s possible to add a sidebar menu to Ride themes? For example, if I wanted to add a sidebar menu featuring product collections for easier navigation through the site. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Did you ever find a solution to this ?

Hey @CC02 and @cabrouxel .

Thanks for reaching out.

Looking into the Ride theme, I noticed that creating a sidebar menu is not available using the Theme Editor. However, you could make a change to the theme’s coding to have a sidebar menu available. Since the Ride theme is designed and supported by Shopify, we may be able to assist you with this adding this.

If you are interested in using design time to have our team take a further look, you will need to navigate to the Help Center to speak with our live support.
