 * In my site, the menu items are wrapping down increasing the menu height to double
   despite of the space available in the menu bar for them. You can have a look 
   once at [http://www.sukajee.com](http://www.sukajee.com).
 * What should be edited? what’s wrong with this?

 * Not sure what’s going on, but the CSS on your site is not working – possibly 
   check on some mark-up errors:

 * Thank you very much for the response.
    I am not a good coder.
 * The inspect element feature in chrome gives the following related code for the
   menu with check boxes.
 * #nav-menu2, #nav-menu2 .menu-header, div.menu {
    width: 91.61%; max-width: 1050px;
   margin-left: 10px; }
 * When I uncheck width: 91.61%, the menu gets fixed.
    But I didn’t find that value
   in my theme’s style.css.
 * Please help me to locate the value to be edited(or may have changed).
 * Thank you.

 * Yes, that code:
 * #nav-menu2, #nav-menu2 .menu-header, div.menu { width: 91.61%; max-width: 1050px;
   margin-left: 10px; }
 * is actually in line 58 of your actual web-pages, probably editable via the header.
   php file as opposed to being in a .css file.
 * If you find that code in the header.php file, best to remove it and place in 
   the .css file to keep things clean.
 * If you can’t find that code then it’s probably being generated from another of
   the theme files.

 * You will find this setting in admin/admired-custom-header.php
    on line 217
 * Correct setting you are looking for is…width: 100%;

 * Try adding this to your custom CSS:
 *     ```
       #nav-menu2 {
          width: 100%;
       }
       ```
