# Sub Menu Trigger padding/margin

 * Hi:
 * Successfully styling the menu but minor problem: I would like sub-menu trigger
   triangles to appear to the left of the page/parent name and therefore chose Sub
   Menu > Trigger Icon > position > left and that works and looks good until the
   page narrows to about 650 px – then the icons slide overtop the page names. The
   names are short – there’s plenty of room available.
 * There doesn’t seem to be any padding or margin setting to ensure the trigger 
   icons have space after them:
 * ICON (space) Page One
 * When the window narrows the “Page one” starts moving left and eventually slides
   under “ICON”.
 * I’m thinking there’s a setting somewhere I’m missing or misunderstanding?
 * I have the menu set to be at least 75% of screen width and I’ve selected word
   wrapping, fwiw.
 * Thanks for your help!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fsub-menu-trigger-padding-margin%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hey there,
 * Can you provide a site URL so I can check as it’s hard to say without a site 
   to look at.
 * Please advise

 * Sorry – I’m working in MAMP so it’s not live. But I’m using the plugin on a live
   site.
 * This raises another question. If you go to this site: [https://www.thdesigninc.com/starter-three](https://www.thdesigninc.com/starter-three)
   and narrow the page til the mobile menu appears you’ll see the trigger triangle
   on the right. I went in and changed it to “left” and updated several times and
   cleared the cache and it still appears on the right. I checked with my host and
   they cleared their cache and the trigger triangle still appears on the right,
   although it is set to “left”.
 * So, 2 birds with one stone here – short of re-setting the defaults, is there 
   a way to clear the plugin cache? Or is there some other setting that might keep
   me from being able to move the trigger from the right to the left? What happens
   if I “rebuild the database?”
 * I originally set it to the right because when I set the trigger on the left it
   would overlap the words when the page narrowed so I gave up and set the trigger
   to “right”.
 * Thanks!

 * Hey there,
 * There is no caching from my plugin. From what I can see in the CSS output you
   still have it set to right so I don’t know why it’s not updating, have you double
   checked you are changing the correct option.
 * In terms of padding for moving the sub-arrow to the left, the below should work:
 *     ```
       #responsive-menu-container #responsive-menu li.responsive-menu-item a {
          padding-left: 60px;
       }
       ```
   
 * I hope that helps
