# Menu Cutting Off

 * I’ve added some submenus at the top of the page, but they seem to be cutting 
   off by the bottom edge of the header section. How do I get them to flow over 
   that edge? I didn’t see an option within the block to change this.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fmenu-cutting-off-2%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello, the logo, tagline and navigation are inside a cover block and the cover
   block is set to clip or cut off any element that goes beyond the cover block 
   area or rectangle, and that is what we see happening with the submenu.
 * You could add an _Additional CSS Class_ to the cover block; for example: `my-
   cover-block` and then via **Appearance** > **Editor**, edit any template then
   access **Styles** menu in the sidebar to add the following global additional 
   CSS …
 *     ```wp-block-code
       .wp-block-cover.my-cover-block {
         overflow: visible;
       }
       ```
   
    - Please adapt the above CSS to your requirements
    - Any reason why a cover block was used and not a header template part?
    - Anyway, hope this helps and good luck!

 * I needed to have text over an image and I couldn’t get what was there to work,
   but the cover block worked exactly as I wanted it. The header block is still 
   there, but the cover block is inset into the header block.
   As to that code, I
   inserted it into the CSS and it doesn’t seem to have changed anything.

 * Hi, the _Additional CSS Class_ `my-cover-block` has not been added yet to the
   cover block. Edit the cover block and the CSS class, as follows:

 * Thanks. I’ve added that tag and applied globally, but it still doesn’t seem to
   have any effect.
