I tried just adding !important so that my Custom Styles code is now

#nav.continuous ul ul li a,
#nav.continuous ul ul li a:hover,
#nav.continuous ul ul li a:visited
{font-size:70% !important;}

It works perfectly now. It must have been a conflict/precedence issue, although I really like the Suffusion Custom Styles capability.
Thanks again, Andrew! {ref merrickvillesjazzfest.com}

Thanks, Andrew! I added the following code to Custom Styles (Dashboard -> Appearance -> Suffusion Options -> Back-end -> Custom Includes):

#nav.continuous ul ul li a,
#nav.continuous ul ul li a:hover,
#nav.continuous ul ul li a:visited
{font-size:70%;}

It works fine now, except for the font size of the navigation bar dropdown menu item for the page I’m on. I tried including
#nav.continuous ul ul li a:highlighted,
in the above CSS code, but that didn’t work. I can live with that but, if you have another suggestion, I’d appreciate it.

I tried adding
#nav ul ul li a, #nav ul ul li a:visited {font-size:70%;}
to style.css (public_html/wp-content/themes/suffusion/style.css), and then to dark-style.css, but no change – the navigation bar dropdown menu font size stubbornly stays the same as the top level font size. I don’t know CSS, so I’m wondering if this is the right code. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. {ref merrickvillesjazzfest.com}

OOPS! Do I feel sheepish. I discovered that to have the individual events listed on the sidebar you need to drag the Upcoming Events widget (Dashboard -> Appearance -> Widgets) onto the sidebar. I had inadvertently dragged the Calendar widget onto the sidebar. Oh well, maybe this will help someone else.

I edited public_html/wp-content/themes/esplanade/style.css and changed line 623 (under #access ul {) from max-width:75%; to max-width:100%;. It WORKED! The menu links are no longer wrapping around to a second line as though the search box were still there.

Thanks, Kurt … Chris ??

Thanks for the quick response, Kurt! The website in this case is one I’m setting up for a friend – https://www.migueldearmas.com. You can see that the search box in the header is gone, but the menu links have wrapped around to a second line as though the search box were still there.

I successfully removed the Search box from my Esplanade header by deleting (I know I should have ‘commented out’) <?php get_search_form(); ?> in header.php but, like tammieearl, my menu links are still wrapping around to a second line as though the search box were still there. The answer is probably above, but I’m a ‘casual user’ and would very much appreciate it if someone would summarize what I need to do to get the menu to use the whole header width. I know this forum is for Twenty Eleven and that the Forum Etiquette Police will probably be after me, but this forum is the easiest to follow and seems to have the most knowledgeable people (blatant attempt to butter you up). Plus, the solution is probably the same or similar.
