Centering Your Main Menu in Rehub Theme (Desktop Only)
Problem: Rehub theme's default main menu alignment can be left-aligned, but you want it centered on larger screens like desktops and laptops.
Solution: We can achieve this by using CSS to target the main menu container and adjust its alignment specifically for larger screens.
Scenario and Code:
Let's assume your main menu is wrapped in a <div> with the class main-menu-wrap. The following CSS code will center the menu on desktop screens:
@media (min-width: 768px) {
.main-menu-wrap {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
}
}
Explanation:
@media (min-width: 768px): This media query ensures the CSS rules apply only to screens with a minimum width of 768px. This is a common breakpoint for defining desktop-only styles. You can adjust themin-widthvalue to match your desired breakpoint..main-menu-wrap: Targets the container element that holds your main menu.display: flex;: Turns the container into a flexbox layout, enabling easy alignment.justify-content: center;: Centers the content (your menu items) within the flex container.
How to Implement:
-
Access your Theme's CSS: You can add the provided CSS code directly to your Rehub theme's stylesheet. You can typically find this file by navigating to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS in your WordPress dashboard.
-
Paste the Code: Copy and paste the CSS snippet into the Additional CSS section.
-
Save Changes: Save your changes to apply the modifications.
Important Notes:
- Class Name: Double-check the actual class name of your main menu container. It might not always be
main-menu-wrap. Inspect the HTML source of your website to verify the correct class name. - Customization: Feel free to adjust the breakpoint,
min-widthvalue, and container class name to suit your specific theme configuration.
Benefits of Centering Your Menu:
- Enhanced Visual Appeal: A centered menu offers a more balanced and modern look on larger screens.
- Improved User Experience: Users can easily find menu items when they are visually centered.
- Brand Consistency: If your branding guidelines favor centered elements, this solution helps maintain consistency.
Additional Tips:
- Spacing and Padding: Adjust the

By implementing this simple CSS technique, you can easily center your main menu on desktop screens while maintaining the default layout for smaller devices.
