How can I change the font size in a drop down menu?

[prazzo101]

@mariusjopen Ah sorry, no, you misunderstood. I don’t want to change the fontstyle of the website from a dropdown menu, I just want the links in the dropdown to be smaller than the menu button itself. Same typeface and everything, just smaller.

Any solution to this question yet? I'd also really like to change the font size of my drop-down menu. Best, nina

@ninaverena No, I didn’t get any answer. I just ended up not using a drop down menu at all.

[ninaverena]

ok, thanks anyway. :) Best, nina

Dear @ninaverena @piero101

Ah older thread!
Have just seen this now, apologies for the delay!

Could you both please post a link to your website with the drop-down menu in question and i can take a better look :)

Best wishes
Richard

@Richard-Keith Thanks Richard, but that state of the website is long gone now ;) Still looking forward to any input for the future because that question will definitely pop up again for me. Thanks!

Hey @Richard-Keith :)
My website is not yet online. But here is a screenshot. I was wandering whether it is possible to change the font / font size of the menu items (portrait, advertising, etc.)?

Dear @ninaverena

I understand that sometimes access to the website is not possible :)

I hope i can run you through and you apply this to your case:

For this we will need help of the Inspection tools provided within Google Chrome's browser:
https://www.khanacademy.org/computing/computer-programming/html-css/web-development-tools/a/using-the-browser-developer-tools

along with adding our own Custom CSS within "Lay options- custom css & html" :

When we right click on your webpage we can choose "inspect" from the menu:

So clicking on the menu which you wish to change:

Here on the left we have some related data, that we will use to target the menu with CSS e.g:

.menu-item-171

a

[data-id="10"]

span

I changed my menu item's font size by targeting it like this:

.menu-item-171 a {
    font-size:48px;
}

Because this is a link <a> i have added the 'a' to be sure that the change occurs, you could also target it further to be sure by adding 'span' to the code.

I hope this help's you - target the Menu-item area or the individual menu-items this is your choice - then use 'font-size:20px;' ( change the 20 px to your preferred size ) - adding the code to Custom CSS

Let me know how you go! :)

Best wishes and have a wonderful day

Sincerely
Richard
