 * Hi there, I have drop down menus in the primary navigation, with 2 sub categories
   on one of the menus. Is there a way to control the width of the drop down menus?
   The second sub category is running off the right hand side of the page. I am 
   working locally, so cannot include a link.

 * Hey Cindy,
 * Can you share a screenshot of your issue so that I can be sure that I’m understanding?
 * You can host photos to share here on a site like this:

 * Hey cindymit,
    Try adding this to your custom css box in Theme Options > Advanced
   Settings:
 *     ```
       .sf-menu li li ul, ul.sf-menu li li:hover ul, ul.sf-menu li li.sfHover ul {
           left: auto;
           right: 100%;
       }
       ```
   
 * Hope it works for you!

 * Your screenshot is not working. Without a link it’s hard to provide accurate 
   css.

 * Sorry, I’m not sure how to post a screenshot, if that doesn’t work. Do I have
   to sign up for that site? Or do you have another way for me to show you a screenshot?

 * Hmm, it’s working now. Weird.
    I’m not sure why the css I gave wouldn’t be working.
   How soon till your site is live?

 * Okay, I did have some CSS in there to make the font size in the drop down larger,
   I took that out and now it’s working!
    This is what I had: .sf-dropdown-menu 
   a { font-size: 15px !important; }
 * Is there anything else I can put in to make the font size a bit bigger?

 * I’m confused, if you increase that font size does it not make the font bigger?

 * Where can I control the font size in the drop down menus? I don’t see that option
   anywhere in Theme Options. That was why I added that other CSS (which I found
   from someone else’s question on the same issue)

 * Try this CSS:
 *     ```
       ul.sf-dropdown-menu li a {
           font-size: 15px !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * The CSS you shared should also work though. If this is not working, let me know
   when the site is live and I’ll be able to better assist you.

 * Okay, that’s working. I don’t know why the dropdown CSS wasn’t working before
   when I had the other code in there, it’s very similar. But, everything is working
   now – thank you both!
