Hi, I’m building a website with the Horizon theme. Right now the header submenu is opening to the far right. I’ve found many css suggestions through google and AI, but adding code to the base.css file makes no changes. If I add it to the _header-menu.liquid file, it DOES make changes, but I assume t…

I mean it opens to the far left, doesn’t look like I can edit my original post.

There is also a search function in this forum, where this topic has been discussed ad nauseum. Please refer to the many threads that already have solutions. [1000158292]

I’ve found many posts on this before posting, but none of the code has worked, or it what I’ve found hasn’t been relevant to the Horizon theme. I’m also using AI to help and no code changes have accomplished what I want yet. But I will search again. Thanks!!

Would I put the custom CSS here? And so far AI has solved my issue, it just took awhile to get there. I just need to know where to put the code it’s given me so I don’t lose it. [Screenshot (32)]

Hi, @MidnightRebellion Can you share the store URL and take a screenshot to describe your requirements? So that I can assist you.

I just scrolled down and found the custom css box, would that be a better place for css for the header?

So I just found out you can’t put a lot of css code in there, it limits you to 500 characters. I think I just need to explore menu plugins. Does anyone know which plug in will just allow you to adjust where the child links fall under the parent links?
