twenty fourteen drop down menu padding

If you’re not using a Child Theme, and if the theme doesn’t have a designated section of the dashboard for CSS modifications then install this Custom CSS Manager plugin https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin

Then use its “CSS Code” section of the dashboard to hold your CSS modifications:

Alternatively use your Child Theme style.css file to hold your CSS modifications:

@media screen and (min-width: 783px) {

    .primary-navigation ul ul a {
        padding: 18px 12px;
    }

}

Reduce the “18” value.

Marvelous – thank you very much !
