    Hi,

    Please help with the menu bar here.

    I’d like to centralise the menu item, the text currently look unevenly spaced.

    CSS is shown below.

    /* =============================================================================
   Header
   ========================================================================== */

	#header {   height:130px;overflow:hidden; background:#fff;width: 960px; }
	#logo {width: 960px;margin-top: 5px;float:right;}
	.hpages { height:30px; }
 	#banner { padding:0px;  width:510px; }
	#banner img { float:right; } 

/* =============================================================================
   menu + sub menu
   ========================================================================== */

	.menu {background: transparent;height: 55px; margin-top:1px; }
	.menu li a { color: #fff;font-size: 16px;margin-left: 1px;margin-right: 1px;display:inline-block;text-align:center;}
	.menu li {  min-height:50px;  background: none;}
	.menu li hover{  color: #880000;}
	#SearchForm .searchBtn {background: url(../images/search.gif) no-repeat;}
#submenubar {background: transparent;   padding:0px; margin-top:10px; display:none;}
	#s { margin-left:0px; font-size: 20px;   }
	.AdvancedSearchBox { background:#fff; }

    Please help.

    Thank you

    To modify CSS of themes, first create a Child Theme or use a Custom Style/CSS plugin. Let us know when you have either.

    Hi Andrew,

    I have a child theme, under the couponpress premium theme i’m using.
    the above code is from my child theme.

    Okay.

    I’d like to centralise the menu item

    Which menu item would you like centred?

    This main menu here.

    The menu items look unevenly spaced.

    I can only see a difference in spacing between the last menu item, ‘Home’ and ‘My Account’, also perhaps left of ‘My Account’ there is greater space.

    Is this what you’re referring to?

    Yes Andrew.
    Without the ‘Home’ item, the menu text just ends abruptly after “My account”.

    What I’d like is for the items to be spaced evenly and the space adjusted accordingly.

    Thanks

    Try adding this CSS to your Child Theme style.css;

    .menu li {
 text-align: left;
}

    Edit: Now I’m understanding your main issue about centring.
    You cannot set the navigation to automatically centre regardless of the number of menu items.

    Can you confirm the menu will not increase nor decrease in menu items?

    Yes, it will not decrease or increase in menu items.

    Left align increases the space on the right side of the menu, after home. Right align reduces that space somewhat, but it is still not good-looking.

    Justify like is done in Microsoft Word is what I have in mind.

    Thanks

    On the .menu li remove:
    – padding right
    – padding left
    – text align center
    – min width

    On the .menu li add:
    – margin-right: 40px
