 * Okay, I’ve been fidgeting with this menu for a while now and I just CANNOT get
   the menu boxes to become smaller. The menu should fit on one or two lines at 
   most, but now it’s taking 4 already and I want to add a facebook menu option 
   as well.
 * I’ve added this custom CSS:
 * > .menu {
   >  background-color: silver; border-style: ridge; box-sizing: border-
   > box; width: initial; float: left;}
 * menu is the CSS class of the menu obviously, but no matter what I set for width,
   the width stays the same. I’m guessing it’s inheriting the width attribute from
   somewhere, but I can’t for the life of me figure out where from?
    Can someone
   help me out with this?

 * The class “menu” has a min-width of 180px, so
 *     ```
       .menu {
          min-width: 80px;
       }
       ```
   
 * or so should do what you want.
 * **To add CSS:** use the “Additional CSS” option in the customizer. _[https://codex.wordpress.org/CSS#Custom\_CSS\_in\_WordPress](https://codex.wordpress.org/CSS#Custom_CSS_in_WordPress)_
 * Learn to use the [Chrome Developer Tools](https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/)
   to help you see and test changes to your CSS.
 * I recommend asking at [https://wordpress.org/support/theme/atlast-business#new-post](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/atlast-business#new-post)
   so the plugin’s / theme’s developers and support community can help you with 
   this.

 * [@sterndata](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sterndata/) thank you very much,
   I really appreciate it.
    I’ll try it and if I can’t figure things out I’ll check
   out the Theme page like you suggested. Thanks again. Oh yeah, where do you see
   those attributes for the css classes?
 * [@pratikthink](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pratikthink/) Dude, seriously?
   I JUST friggin started the site so yeah it looks like crap now. What are you 
   even doing on a support forum if all you’re gonna be doing is talking trash about
   people’s brand new sites?
    Pff.
