    Try following this similar thread.

    please post a link to your site to illustrate what you have so far.

    you will need to edit style.php of the theme;
    the menu has a background graphic which will need to be adjusted.

    try working with a browser inspection tool such as Firebug to find out which styles you need to edit.

    This is what I’ve got in my style.php so far

    Code was:
    #topmenu {
    margin-top: 5px;
    float: right;
    clear: both;
    }

    Changed to :
    #topmenu {
    margin-top: 5px;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
    }

    No success though but my website is https://iswconsultants.com

    To center a block element, you need to add a width.

    the div #topmenu is empty, i.e. is not the menu you are trying to change;

    start by changing the width and background image in this style in style.php:

    .navigation {
    background: url(images/navbar.png) no-repeat;
    padding-right:0px;
    font-size:12px;
    position: absolute;
    right: 0px;
    bottom: 0px;
    z-index: 6;
    width: 691px;
    vertical-align: baseline !important;
    height: 48px;
    float: right;
    }

    also will need changes to:

    #header #navbar li { float:none; display: inline-block; }
    #header #navbar{ float:none; }

    and remove the fixed height from:

    #header #navbar {
    float:left;
    height:150px;
    line-height:50px;
    padding-left:13px;
    }

    We can’t assist you for this issue, you must expand your background image width.

    Ok, figured it out. Just had to get my head around the fact that you have to adjust the “space” size and then amend and upload a image to fit that space.

    Thank you!
