HELP! I've messed the menu up

    I think I’ve edited the style sheet CSS incorrectly and messed the menu up! I can’t remember all the bits I changed and now the menu is appearing as a vertical list rather than the normal horizontal menu with drop down sub menus.

    I’ve tried deleting the theme and reinstalling, in the hope it would restore the default settings of the theme style sheet but that didn’t work. I have now learnt that I should have made a child theme – but I am a novice and self-taught so didn’t know that before…

    Please help as it looks awful!!
    Thank you in advance

    Do you have a menu selected in Appearance > Menus? I’ve seen some themes where the menu doesn’t render correctly if you don’t have a menu assigned to the location in Appearance > Menus (which would mean it’s using the “fallback” function to create one automatically).

    Yes, I’ve been using this theme for a while with complete menus and drop downs and it was fine, then I was trying to change the padding and line spacing CSS on my style sheet and think I changed something which messed it up as I’ve been using the Pure & Simple theme for ages with no problems but was tweeting bits as doing a bit of a rebranding

    I managed to sort it. I just restored all the original database settings. Started from scratch again from back ups, used the WordPress Database Reset plugin. Not sure what happened to make it go wrong but I’ll be more careful in future!
