 * Hi,
 * I am creating a new website and I am using a pre-existing theme. The main menu
   in the header consists of a dropdown menu. The menu consisted of a lot of elements
   that I didn’t need so I removed them. However, the menu now shows empty elements
   on the dropdown list. Could anyone advise on how to remove them?
 * Also, I would like to change the appearance of the menu – currently, it has arrows
   pointing down but I would like it to look more like tabs. Could anyone advise
   where to do it?
 * The theme has Elementor to edit but I can’t find it there
 * I am very new to WP
 * Thank you!

 * Find the .css file usually its style.css
 * wp-content/themes/yourtheme/style.css

 * Normally when menu items are removed (from the menus admin screen or the customizer),
   what is displayed adjusts automatically. It’s strange there are empty elements.
   You’re best off asking for advice through your theme’s dedicated support forum.
 * Going from drop down style to tabbed style is a major change in CSS, but it is
   possible if the menu HTML is well formed, usually as ul/li elements. You could
   search for tabbed menu CSS examples and adapt them to work with your menu’s classes.
   You’ll need some reasonable CSS coding skills.
