# Aligning Submenu

 * I’m trying to get the submenu to line up with the menu. What I want is for the
   first item in each submenu to line up with Home, not it’s parent page.
 * I’ve been through everything. I’ve created a new class .submenu-button and worked
   out a few definitions with that. But, I can’t give it the alignment I want that
   way.
 * The original style.css with the .main-navigation ul li ul {} seems to provide
   the most functionality when I made the items appear horizontally. But, I just
   need that one magic trick that makes all of the different submenus for each page
   shift over and align with the Home button.
 * Can anyone figure out how to do that?
    Is there a left command (left: ?;) that
   works? Anything?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Faligning-submenu%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * So when you hover the “About” button you want the li to be activated under the“
   Home” button?

 * Well, I’ve set the submenu to vertical alignment now. But, I want it to be horizontal.
 * In the horizontal setting, I want the li to activate under the home button. Yes.
   I would like the first subitem in each submenu to line up with the first item
   in the main menu.
