Misaligned Menu

    Hi there,

    I’ve noticed that the menu is misaligned, and is not central. This is best shown in mobile and tablet view. In my opinion, the menu should be aligned to the left column, but for some reason it is indented by a few pixels or so. This impacts the ordinary laptop view as well, but it is less noticeable. Hope this makes sense.

    Could you help me fix this please?

    Kind regards
    Christopher

    Hey there, Christopher 👋

    You’re right; the menu is offset by a small about because of some padding added to the first menu link. To remove that padding and center-align your menu, try adding this snippet:

    nav[role="navigation"] li:first-child {
    margin-left: 0;
}

    I hope this helps! Let us know how you go.

    Hi Scott,

    Thanks for your speedy reply.

    The coding has changed the alignment, but unfortunately has not worked. The tablet and mobile views are unaffected, and the laptop view doesn’t appear to be central. Is there a plan B?

    Kind regards
    Christopher

    Sorry to hear that, Christopher!

    I have a hunch we’re seeing different things. Would you mind letting me know which browser (or device) you’re seeing this issue on?

    If you could also share a screenshot of the problem that’d be a huge help!

    Hi Scott,

    No worries, hope you had a nice Easter!

    Here’s the screen shot, taken from Chrome:

    Can you see that it’s indented maybe 5 / 10 px? This affects the desktop / laptop view as well.

    I’ve just tested Firefox and it’s the same. Hope this helps!

    Kind regards
    Christopher

    Aha! I see the problem now, Christopher. Thanks for sharing that screenshot.

    To patch up this alignment issue, try adding this snippet:

    .dk_options_inner {
    margin-left: 0 !important;
}

    That should do the trick. Let us know!

    You’re the man Scott!

    I’ve added both CSS codes, the tablet and mobile views work correctly now. The laptop view is slightly off centre, but I think that’s just because of the words in the menu are giving different spacing. I believe it is actually centred now. If that makes sense? It’s close enough, so I’m happy to leave it as it is.

    Thanks for your time!

    Kind regards
    Christopher

    Glad to help, Christopher!

    You’re right; it looks like it’s the length of the menu items themselves that are causing the spacing difference — the width from the edge of the menu to the browser edge is equal.

    Let us know if there’s anything else we can help with 😀
