Menu scaling

    Hey everyone!

    New to WordPress, but very impressed with the ease of use so far. I’ve got a fair amount of experience with CSS, HTML and PHP, but I’m having a problem with the Pinboard theme. What I’d like to do is make the menu scale to the size of the window. In other words, make the buttons shrink as the window shrinks instead of dropping to a second line.

    The site can be viewed at: http://test.northsidecabinets.com/jsinger_nscwp/

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, if there are other issues you see with the site feel free to mention them. As far as I know it’s all good, but like I said, I’m new around here.

    Many thanks,
    Josh

    Oh and I also have a similar question about the header. I’d like to keep the header image and the sidebar image on the same line. It currently drops the sidebar below the header image when reducing the size of the window.

    Same sort of problem as the menu dropping down to two lines, but I can start a new thread about this if I need to.

    Hey. Firstly, any changes you make to a theme’s template files should be done via a child theme. More information about child themes and how to create them can be found here: codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes.

    You can use CSS to customise the appearance of your site depending on the screen’s width using media queries. More information here: http://css-tricks.com/css-media-queries.

    Yea, I kinda skipped that step when I first started making changes. I’ll go back and get the child theme setup properly before I make any more changes.

    Is the idea behind this that when the theme is updated it changes the parent directory and not the child, thereby removing any issues with the modified theme?

    it changes the parent directory and not the child

    Correct – otherwise all of your changes would be lost.
