This site has been updated to the latest Magento version. However I'm disappointed that the menu feature isn't more versatile - or I am missing something. We want the website menu (LEFT) to open the Categories - and to only open sub-categories when clicked on.
Would a newer Magento template from Rockettheme be more versatile for menu options or is this a magento issue?

If you set the side menu to use the "tree" style you can set the top level categories to be triggers for opening the sub cats in an accordion:

- I don't see how if you've set it as per your screenshot, there's no categories set to show at all?

I have three images for you now.
The menu is completely collapsed on the homepage with a small arrow button to open it to the categories.
I would like it to stay open as shown in photo two - can you help me with that setting?
Third image is current menu settings.
And THANK YOU!

If you want it to always stay open, you can add the following css:
.mageside-menu-toggle-container.tree {
display: block !important;
}
and then hide the icon for opening/closing with:
div.mageside-menu-toggle-button.tree {
display: none !important;
} - STEP 1 IN MAGENTO DEVELOPMENT - DISABLE YOUR CACHE OR YOU WON'T SEE ANY CHANGES.

Brilliant. Searching through files to make sure I edit the right one.
I'm in........
public_html/app/design/frontend/base/default/layout/rokmage-magemenus
And have a file rokmagemenus.xml?

- That's just css I posted above, so simply add it to your custom stylesheet (if you don't have any then add it to the end of skin/frontend/mercado/default/css/theme-styles.css)

Perfect. That worked.
Little glitch.
Categories won't display. This is the list of categories that won't open now.
What's New
Clearance Items
Kits and BOM's
Wool patterns & books
Stitch Books
Silk Ribbon
Zipper Pulls & Charms
Pre-cuts & Bundles
I've reviewed settings in Category Management and can't see a difference except that the above don't have sub-categories beneath them. However, click on them won't even display items?
See image.

- If those are parent categories then clicking them will be disabled when you select the "collapse parents" option, as are all parent categories. You could add a sub-category to them with all the parents products and call it "View All ____" (insert name of parent there).
