 * Hi
 * Is it possible with some custom CSS to increase the size of the drop-down boxes
   from menu items? Some of my sub-menu titles are pushed onto two lines – [http://www.shospace.co.uk](http://www.shospace.co.uk)–
   which I don’t mind for the really long ones, but would prefer to adjust a bit
   for some of them (eg. Canopy Compass Rose, under ‘Works’).
 * And/or can I reduce the font size for the drop-down items?
 * Thanks heaps,
    Sheona

 * Hello Sheona,
 * To make the change you want you can achieve this using custom css. Please add
   the following custom css to your site via either a child theme or directly from
   the theme options panel under General Settings -> Custom CSS:
 *     ```
       .main-navigation ul ul li a {
       width: 245px !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * I hope the above was helpful.
 * Kind regards,
 * Manoj

 * That CSS will definitely do the trick, but I’d recommend using it without adding**!
   important**.
 * **Important** CSS styles basically override the normal flow of your CSS, which
   can make it difficult to troubleshoot things when making changes later on.
 * You can usually write a more specific style to avoid using **!important** in 
   your custom CSS, but [@phpexpert21](https://wordpress.org/support/users/phpexpert21/)’
   s should work fine without it 🙂
