Mobile menu

[taran]

Hi Jason
I’ve just upgraded to Alyeska 3.1.4 and noticed that drop-down menu items now have a little down arrow; when I resize the page the last menu item drops below the menu bar and is hard to see. How can I fix this please?

Hello,

You’ll need to re-adjust your menu items so that they can all fit.

Or conversely, if you wanted to customize things, you could tweak the buttons with CSS to accommodate more of them. For example, you could hide the arrows if you wanted.

#primary-menu > li > a .sf-sub-indicator, 
#primary-menu>[class^="menu-icon-"] > a .fa { 
	display: none;
}

Or make further adjustments to the padding of the horizontal buttons.

#primary-menu > li > a { 
	padding-right: 10px;
	padding-left: 10px;
}

For CSS changes, it’s a good idea to use a tool like firebug or Google Chrome’s built-in developer tools to locate them and then put the edits either in your child theme‘s style.css or in the “Custom CSS” option on your theme options page.

Also, here’s a helpful tutorial on how to use Firebug – http://vimeo.com/20917974. The only thing I’d suggest not doing is actually making edits to the theme’s CSS files, as it shows at the end of that video. However, the video serves as a good introduction to Firebug and how it can be used to find what CSS is effecting certain areas of your site without ever digging around in any files.

The end menu item still goes on the line below when the browser window is reduced Is there any way I can get the mobile dropdown to be triggered before this happens?

This would be a pretty difficult customization to make from your child theme. But you could target the tablet viewport size and style the buttons to be a step smaller in terms of the font size, padding, etc.
