# Force mobile menu?

 * Hello,
 * I am working on a WP website for a client. I’ve chosen the Virtue theme because
   of its many features. What I cannot seem to get done, however, is something the
   client is absolutely adamant on: use the mobile menu instead of the desktop one,
   even when used on desktop. More specifically: they want the little hamburger 
   symbol as the only indicator of a menu, then when they click on it, they want
   the various menu items in a drop down.
 * I’m at a loss. Is there a way to force the mobile menu, and then is there a way
   for it to only show the ‘hamburger’?
 * Thank you in advance!

 * Hey,
    In Appearance > Menus do not enable a primary navigation menu, just mobile
   navigation. Then add this to your custom css box in Theme Options > Advanced 
   Settings:
 *     ```
       #mobile-nav-trigger {
           display: block !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * Does that work for you?

 * Hey Hannah!
 * Thank you very, very much! Alright, that **does** force the mobile menu.
    Is 
   there a way to display _only_ the ‘hamburger’ and not the ‘menu’ label in front
   of it…? This already helps a lot though!

 * You can remove the label with this css:
 *     ```
       .nav-trigger-case .kad-menu-name {
           display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * Just paste that into your custom css box in Theme Options > Advanced Settings.
   
   Hope it helps!

 * Hello Hannah,
 * Thank you for that try, but unfortunately that seems to have broken the code 
   😉 The white background still appears but the menu no longer opens.
 * While I’m shamelessly making you ponder my problems with the code, do you perhaps
   have a way to center the burger on the page?
 * Thank you very much for your help!
 * Kindest regards,

 * Ok, try adding this instead:
 *     ```
       #kad-mobile-nav {
           display: block;
       }
       span.kad-menu-name {
           display: none !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * Does that work for you?

 * Hello Hannah,
 * That seems to remove the menu completely, I fear, including the burger…

 * Hello Hannah,
 * My apologies for the late reply. I had to ask permission to launch the site to
   show you, which I have not gotten (they are currently displaying a ‘coming soon’
   page while they await the big reveal). What I have been given permission for,
   however, is screenshots. Please note that **none** of the options you have provided
   so far have resulted in a working menu; they are non-functional design objects
   at the moment…

 * Are you sure the last bit ins’t working? Try changing your menu color in Theme
   Options > Menu Settings to ensure it’s not just blending in.

 * Ok, sorry! I’ve made this confusing. The first bit of css wasn’t supposed to 
   be removed. So remove what you have and use all this:
 *     ```
       #mobile-nav-trigger {
           display: block !important;
       }
       #kad-mobile-nav {
           display: block;
       }
       span.kad-menu-name {
           display: none !important;
       }
       .nav-trigger .nav-trigger-case {
           width: 55px;
       }
       ```
   
 * I think that will work:) Let me know if not!

 * It works! Hannah, you are my hero!! Thank you so very much!
 * Now I have one more tiiiiny question: can it be centered…?

 * Try removing the above and adding this:
 *     ```
       #mobile-nav-trigger {
           display: block !important;
       }
       #kad-mobile-nav {
           display: block;
       }
       span.kad-menu-name {
           display: none !important;
       }
       .nav-trigger .nav-trigger-case {
           width: 100%;
       }
       .nav-trigger-case .kad-navbtn {
           float: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * Does that work for you?

 * Ah, [I see what you did](http://goldbluetrakehners.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/09.png)!
   Is there a way to just have the small, 5% square centered, though? This is rather….
   overwhelming XD
 * Thank you, really, for your efforts!
 * Kindest regards,

 * Try also adding this:
 *     ```
       #mobile-nav-trigger {
           width: 50%;
       }
       .nav-trigger .nav-trigger-case {
           width: auto;
       }
       ```
   
 * Is that what you’re thinking?
