    .main-navigation { text-align: center;} /* margin-top is different in media queries /
    .main-navigation ul.nav-menu, .main-navigation div.nav-menu > ul { border-bottom: 0; border-top: 0;

    Although a live example would be more helpful than posting the CSS, I don’t see any style for li itself that would prevent it from ‘line break’.

    Especially as codedumps are usually removed by the Mods pretty quickly.

    Codepen is what we use for large amounts of code…please.

    If the anchor has a width of 50% it will be 50% of the parent li.

    It seems to me that for a “two column” menu (not sure how that would look) then the li should be 50% of the ul and the anchors full width of their respective li.

    A design image or a demo would be more useful.

    Also, is the two column menu the sub-menu or the top level ul?

    Hi Paulie – my problem exactly – with the existing menu code, have no clue as to what to change in the css to create this the 2 column menu. Help would be greatly appreciated

    The CSS (especially in a Codedump like that) isn’t much help without the associated HTML and knowing what the finished result is supposed to look like.

    So the example I gave above doesn’t help with any ideas?

    Unfortunately, the Codepen link you gave doesn’t work and you’ve disabled right-clicking on the site so we can’t easily inspect your actual code to see what could be changed.

    It looks like a lot of the functionality of the menus is via WP Javascript which also makes things harder.

    You should know though that even disabling right-click doesn’t stop anyone from accessing your images. If you want to really protect them, use a watermark.

    See?
