[Theme: Simple Catch] Centre align menu

  • I’m completely new to WP. The first thing I want to do is either make the menu items appear in the centre or right aligned instead of default left. Would I have to create a child theme for this? I tried playing with the “float” & “position” options in those mentioned in style.css : all “#menu” but guess the change has to be done in <div>. I hardly know any coding so please help.

  • you should give the URL of your website, so people can help you. Nobody is going to install that theme and try to change the CSS ??

    You would need to create a Child Theme or since it’s just CSS changes, you could use a Custom CSS plugin.

    Centring the navigation would be more difficult.
    To centre the navigation as a whole, you’d need to use CSS and set a width on it, along with margin: 0 auto;.

    The width is the problem here. Your menu is prone to change in width, as menu items are renamed, added or removed.

    Aligning the menu right would be a lot easier, as you need only apply float: right; to the navigation menu.

    The CSS selectors for the menu should be;

    .home #header #mainmenu

    @baszer : I’m just experimenting now with Instant WP on my PC so I don’t have a link to share.

    @andrew : Thank you. But would you know what exactly I have to type in the custom CSS field? Since there are too many files in this theme and I’m confused what has to be mentioned as “right”. I shall install the plugin now and know how to use that for now ?? Thanks again for the prompt reply!
