Sub menu won't show and can't find code

    I had trouble a few days ago figuring out why my submenu won’t show. I brought it to this forum and figured it out. Apparently, it was because I had this in my code:

    .navi-menu{
    overflow: hidden;

    The only trouble is, although I have verified that that is the trouble with my submenu not appearing, I can’t find the code anywhere!

    The code that is messing my menu up is part of my .css. When I go to appearance > editor, the only .css is my stylesheet. I have looked and looked, but I cannot find this piece of code in there even though I know it exists.

    I am using sylvia for my theme. My url is https://www.thescratchingquill.com

    Please note that I am not a programer, so try not to get to technical. Your help is very much appreciated.

  • Your theme loads an additional stylesheet named custom.css from a subfolder in your theme’s folder, and since the Editor no longer delves into subfolders, you won’t be able to see it that way.

    It’s best not to use the Editor to modify your theme’s files, though, as you’ll lose those changes if the theme is ever updated in the future, to fix bugs or security issues or to add new features. Instead, you should use a custom CSS plugin and use this code:

    .navi-menu {
  overflow: visible;
}

    As a side note, I’d also recommend trying to contact the theme’s author (https://www.purelythemes.com) as well because the way the theme is coded, the submenus will never appear. I wonder if the authors intended that.

    Thank you Stephen,

    I tried what you told me and the sub menu is now working flawlessly!
