I have a website that I built some time ago using HTML, however it is fast becoming clunky and needs a serious update, hence why I have chosen Vantage on WordPress.

The navigation bar is far too big and this means the dropdown boxes can cover the whole screen.
If you view the site at www.bellewaarde1915.co.uk you will see the nav bar that I wish to copy in terms of colour, size and functionality.

Any help would be gratefully received!

    Hi Martin

    Thanks for reaching out.

    The main menu padding can be adjusted from Appearance > Customize > Theme Design > Menu.

    Drop down menu padding needs to be adjusted using Custom CSS. Insert the following at Appearance > Custom CSS:

    /* Drop down menu item padding, top and bottom */
.main-navigation ul ul a {
	padding-top: 20px;
	padding-bottom: 20px;
}

    Adjust the 20px values as required.

    Hope that helps :)

    I’m sure it will, Andrew.
    I’ll give it a try and let you know!

    Regards
    Martin

    For sure :)

    Great, working well and almost there.
    I have attempted to change the second level text colour, but without success, have I missed something?

    Regards
    Martin

    Glad to hear you’re making progress.

    This can be done from Appearance > Customize > Theme Design > Menu see the Second Level options.

    Hi, Andrew

    I have tried what you have suggested, but I can’t get the colour to change.

    Thanks for the update.

    The background and text colors you’re seeing in the drop down menus are being set from the Customizer. The background color currently being set is: #fff9bf. If you go to Customize > Theme Design > Menu > Second Level Background, is that not the color that is set there?

  10. Martin Clift 10 years, 6 months ago

    That’s correct, however, the problem is the text colour.
    I have it set to #000000 and have also tried other colours, but it will not change.
    I have also tried to change the colour of all text in the menu and they are all effected by this issue.

    Regards
    Martin

    Thanks. It looks like you’re using a Custom CSS plugin. Try removing the contents of your Custom CSS plugin, it should resolve the issue. There is most likely a second Appearance > Custom CSS menu item.

  12. Martin Clift 10 years, 6 months ago

    Many thanks, Andrew, spot on!
    There was a second plugin which has now been removed.

    Regards
    Martin

    Awesome :) Glad to hear that did the trick.

    All the best with your site.

    You score 10 out of 10 for this, Andrew
