Hi there,
I'm having a couple of problems with easysocial.
1. I'm using the standard Joomla template protostar and you can see that the menu flows over a second line. I'm wanting to reduce the space between the menu items from 12px to 9px. See the two screen captures below:

to:


2. Secondly, I would like to add and subtract menu items from the easysocial menu bar. Is this possible as I would like to add easyblog and easydiscuss menu items.

Many thanks for your assistance.
Hi Michael Gilmour,

Kindly please find my response to your inquiries below:
1. I'm using the standard Joomla template protostar and you can see that the menu flows over a second line. I'm wanting to reduce the space between the menu items from 12px to 9px.

->Can you add this css code into your custom css and see how it goes?
div#fd .fd-nav.es-mainnav.fd-cf a {

    padding: 11px;

}


2. Secondly, I would like to add and subtract menu items from the easysocial menu bar. Is this possible as I would like to add easyblog and easydiscuss menu items.

->May I know which menu items that you want to remove? because certain menu cannot be removed directly by backend setting, and for adding the menu it is not possible currently. However you can add the menu by customize this file:
JOOMLA_ROOT_DIRECTORY/components/com_easysocial/themes/frosty/toolbar/default.php


Hope this helps
Have a nice day ahead

Can I suggest that Easysocial adopts the use of the Joomla menu system rather than hard coding the menus into a PHP file.

Hi Michael Gilmour,

->Unfortunately, this is not possible currently. Maybe you can make a dropdown menu module as you can assign it to your Joomla menu by:
1. Click Extensions>Module>New>EasySocial Dropdown Menu
