 * I am quite new to the WP and this is the first theme I am using. I would like
   
   to decrease the height of the navigation bar. What would be the CSS code that
   I can add to my “Additional CSS” file?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fhow-to-decrease-height-of-the-navigation-bar%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi [@rullah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rullah/),
 * Go to Appearance → Customize → Additional CSS (the menu labels might be different
   in your language) and add the code below:
 *     ```
       .search-toggle { height: 58px; }
       .main-menu > li > a { padding: 23px 28px; }
       ```
   
 * Let me know if that does it.
