The WordPress Twenty Fifteen base theme is responsive across devices, with vertical menus to organize large amounts of content for my academic courses and projects. I created this child theme to modify the following:
- sidebar menu positioned on the right side of primary content
- author byline and date at the top of posts/pages, not bottom
- submenu items are displayed whenever the parent/sibling page is active, not just when down-arrow is clicked
Note that TwentyFifteen base theme does not display the admin's name at either top or bottom of the post, until another author creates a post (thereby making it a multi-author blog), and then all posts will have bylines. The same principle holds true for pages: no byline will appear until another author/editor/admin creates a page, then all existing pages will have bylines.

Download the zipped file from this GitHub master page, and upload into your WordPress.org themes. Requires TwentyFifteen theme, since this is a child theme of it.
To add 250x250 logo above the menu, follow instructions on this page (https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-add-business-logo-as-header-at-top-of-left-side-tool-bar) and add code directly to style.css, or use WP Add Custom CSS plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-add-custom-css/)
