 * Hello,
 * I try to get the menu items larger and bold. I have the css updated in advanced
   settings, but only the color is adjusted
    with respect to the original css, I
   have adjusted the size, color and weight. Thanks in advance, Zjos
 *     ```
       /*menu*/
       #nav-main ul.sf-menu a {
           font-family: Lato;
           line-height: 18px;
           font-weight: normal;
           font-style: bold;
           font-size: 16px;
           color: #fff;
       }
       ```

 * Hello! Try changing to this.
 *     ```
       #nav-main ul.sf-menu a {
           font-family: Lato;
           line-height: 18px;
           font-weight: bold;
           font-size: 16px;
           color: #fff;
       }
       ```
   
 * In Appearance> Theme Options> Menu Settings, you can accomplish all that you 
   were trying to do with the CSS.

 * Thank you Kevin for your reaction, but , no result. The color #fff is accepted
   but not the font-weight and font-size. Which are not changed. How come ??

 * Do you mean: Appearance> Theme Options> advanced Settings in stead of menu settings??
   with respect to the quoted remark ?

 * No I mean that there are font options for your main navigation in that area.
 * You are correct in the Advanced Settings area being where you place your custom
   CSS though.
 * Is it possible for you to send a link to the site that you’re working?

 * Hey zjosbest.
    He means menu settings.
 * It’s important to note that **“theme options”** is **not** the same as “customizer”.
 * So you should see the menu settings and there you can set the primary menu font
   size and so on.
 * If your wanting to override this setting with css then you would need to use 
   more specific css in the custom css box, for example:
 *     ```
       .headerclass #nav-main ul.sf-menu li a {
           font-family: Lato;
           line-height: 18px;
           font-weight: normal;
           font-style: bold;
           font-size: 16px;
           color: #fff;
       }
       ```

 * Were you able to find your menu settings in your Appearance> Theme Options> Menu
   Settings? That’s the first thing that I would try! And if you still can’t get
   it looking how you want, then we’ll go the CSS route. Just be aware that any 
   CSS you have in your Advanced Settings will overwrite your menu settings.

 * Be sure that you’ve downloaded the Virtue / Pinnacle ToolKit and activated it
   in your plugins area. That is what is responsible for your theme options appearing
   in your admin area.
