    Hi,

    I have selected a theme for my wordpress and I have added a horizontal menu to one of my pages by copy-pasting the stuff in the CSS Horizontal menus tutorial: https://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_Horizontal_Menus

    BUT: how do I find out where to add the css part so that the styling will actually apply? I don’t seem to be able to search for and find the stylesheet that works with this page and this part of my theme … is there a smart way to find the css style sheet where I need to insert the code? It is quite tiring to have to scroll through all the css style sheets of the entire theme 🙁

    Thanks for your help
    Anna

    You should not be modifying any of the theme’s files directly. If the theme gets updated because of feature enhancements, bug fixes, or security patches, or if the theme has to be updated because of a change to the WordPress core, then your changes will be lost. Instead, either create a child theme and add your menu’s CSS to your child theme’s style.css file, or use a CSS plugin like Jetpack or Custom CSS Manager and add your CSS that way.

    I’m surprised, though, that you would have to code your own horizontal menu. Most themes have horizontal menus by default, and you only need to go to Appearance → Menus to set up the specific menu items that you want. Or are you adding your own custom menu in addition to the theme’s menu?

    Hi,

    yes, I have a nice theme, but would like to build on top of it.

    I will try to do some of the things you suggest.

    Best
