In reply to: Centering Primary Menu w/ Dropdown "Hatch" ThemeHere’s my entire Custom CSS with the addition of text-align: center; in an attempt to get the menu to work properly…
#menu-primary {
float: none;
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
}
#menu-primary .menu {
display: table;
margin: 0 auto;
}
body {
margin: 0;
font: 1em/1.75em ‘Helvetica Neue’, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
color: #555;
background: #fff;
padding: 0;
}
#branding {
float: center;
width: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
text-align: center;
}
#site-description {
font-size: 2em;
font-weight: normal;
line-height: 1.5em;
margin: 0;
color: #aaa;
text-align: center;
float: center;
width: 100%;
clear: both;

In reply to: Centering Primary Menu w/ Dropdown "Hatch" ThemeSo just as an update I’ve been able to achieve pretty much everything I had hoped for i.e. simple resizes and position changes via MyCustomCSS, however I have still been unable to get the primary menu exactly where I want it. It’s now below the branding and site description which is great, but it refuses to center. ahhhh.
Thanks again for all of the help.

In reply to: Centering Primary Menu w/ Dropdown "Hatch" ThemeI’m definitely not fully understanding how the custom CSS works. does simply putting the code in any arbitrary position change what I want or do I have to put it in the exact line it was originally located? I guess realistically I need to just go through a tutorial on using the custom CSS…

In reply to: Centering Primary Menu w/ Dropdown "Hatch" ThemeI went ahead and reverted the Hatch theme to the original code and deleted all of the Custom CSS except for the changes you sent me for the Primary Menu and it remained in it’s original location..
When I make the rest of changes to the custom CSS from here on out to get back to where I was do I need to include
/* Normalize
————————————————————– */and then the bit of code that I’m trying to customize?
or do I just hashtag it?

In reply to: Centering Primary Menu w/ Dropdown "Hatch" ThemeI guess I was under the impression that if I took all the code from the Hatch editor and put it into the custom CSS i would in effect by bypassing the theme and only using the code from the custom CSS.

In reply to: Centering Primary Menu w/ Dropdown "Hatch" ThemeI see – so does that mean I should reinstall the Hatch theme since those files have changed slightly?

In reply to: Centering Primary Menu w/ Dropdown "Hatch" ThemeJust tried adding
width: 100%
Which did make a difference. The menu text shifted slightly to the left, but not fully center. The menu text seems to be stuck inside something that is not the same width as the entire site.. strange.

In reply to: Centering Primary Menu w/ Dropdown "Hatch" ThemeUnfortunately that didn’t do the trick.

In reply to: Centering Primary Menu w/ Dropdown "Hatch" ThemeI did make some mild changes to the theme file before I realized that it would all be deleted in the event of an update, which was the catalyst for installing the MyCustomCSS plugin. Though I don’t plan on updating for now anyway (unless totally necessary) My hope was that installing that plugin and copying my code over would prevent any major issues in the future. All the changes I’ve made have been to the custom CSS from here on out. I’ll that a shot – thanks a million!

In reply to: Centering Primary Menu w/ Dropdown "Hatch" ThemeAh – My apologies. I’m visual artist and really new to code of any kind – though I am fascinated by the language.
