 * Hi
 * Is there any way to allow the top menu to use the full width of the page? At 
   the moment, if the menu reaches the right sidebar it wraps onto a second line.
   The current menu has been limited to prevent this happening, bu we many want 
   to add more items in the future and it would be good not to have it wrapping.
 * Thanks
 * Ian

 * Hi Ian,
 * I presume you’re referring to the main navigation menu? Unfortunately, I can’t
   see your site. I simply get your Coming Soon page.
 * There are two functions within Ephemeris that display the Logo container and 
   the Nav Menu container. These functions are called `ephemeris_logo_grid()` and`
   ephemeris_nav_grid()`, respectively.
 * The Logo container is 40% width and the Nav container is 60%. If you want to 
   increase the size of the nav container, you have a couple of options.
 * – Start by copying the `ephemeris_logo_grid()` and `ephemeris_nav_grid()` functions
   from `functions.php` in Ephemris, into the `functions.php` in your child theme.(
   don’t include the “if ( ! function_exists(…” line. Just copy the function itself.
   i.e. “function ephemeris_nav_grid() {…..}”)
 * You can either:
 * – Decrease the size of the Logo container by changing the class names in `ephemeris_logo_grid()`.
   e.g. change the classes from `grid-40 tablet-grid-40` to `grid-20 tablet-grid-
   20`
    – Increase the size of the Nav Container by changing the class names in `
   ephemeris_nav_grid()`. e.g. change the classes from `grid-60 tablet-grid-60` 
   to `grid-80 tablet-grid-80`
 * This would give you 20% container for the Logo and 80% container for the Nav.
 * Or, you could increase both containers to 100%:
 * – Increase the size of the Logo container by changing the class names in `ephemeris_logo_grid()`.
   e.g. change the classes from `grid-40 tablet-grid-40` to `grid-100 tablet-grid-
   100`
    – Increase the size of the Nav Container by changing the class names in`
   ephemeris_nav_grid()`. e.g. change the classes from `grid-60 tablet-grid-60` 
   to `grid-100 tablet-grid-100`
 * When you copy those two functions (`ephemeris_logo_grid()` and `ephemeris_nav_grid()`)
   into your child theme, they will override the functions within Ephemeris.

 * Thanks for the detailed response Anthony. Yes we are pre-launch now so the site
   has been put into ‘Coming Soon’ mode.
 * I’ll have a look at the functions.php. I’m not sure I will be allowed to amend
   the file directly, even in a child theme, as this is a managed wordpress hosting
   package. Hopefully I’ll be allowed to do so in a child theme.

 * Hi Ian,
 * “Managed WordPress hosting” usually just means that they look after your site
   updates and backups for you. You should be able to still edit your own child 
   theme files.
 * Of course, when you’re making changes like this though, it’s always best to test
   them on a development or staging domain first, rather than making them directly
   on the live website.

 * One more question, sorry. The menu seems to be right justified now, how do I 
   make it align to the left of the page?
 * Thanks
