    Hello. I’m trying to make the whole left sidebar menu smaller to make more room for the main content. I’ve managed to decrease the width of the menu itself but I don’t know how to decrease the font size of the menu items. The Font size option in the Advanced Styling section only seem to change the spacing between the menu items. Also, when decreasing the menu width, the logo also gets smaller. Is there a way to adjust the logo size so it fills the whole logo area?

    Thanks in advance

    I found the code in my funcions.php and I’ve changed some of the values as mentioned in the other post, but nothing changes. I’m not sure what the code refers to so I’m not really sure of what I’m changing. The 3 lines of code looks like this by default.

    $avia_config['layout']['fullsize'] 		= array('content' => 'av-content-full alpha', 'sidebar' => 'hidden', 	  	  'meta' => '','entry' => '');
$avia_config['layout']['sidebar_left'] 	= array('content' => 'av-content-small alpha', 	  'sidebar' => 'alpha' ,'meta' => 'alpha', 'entry' => '');
$avia_config['layout']['sidebar_right'] = array('content' => 'av-content-small alpha','sidebar' => 'alpha', 'meta' => 'alpha', 'entry' => 'alpha');

    Regards,

    Hi!

    I’m sorry but that thread is a little bit too old and deprecated. You don’t need to do those modification to be able to increase the width of the main content. Please go to the General Layout > Dimensions then adjust the Content | Sidebar Ratio option.

    You seem to missunderstand my issue. I’m not trying to make the main content area bigger per se, but rather make the left menu smaller, and the text smaller as well. The setting under General Layout > Dimensions only changes the ratio between main content and sidebar (and from what I’ve noticed, that setting only affects the right sidebar and not the left “Logo / Main Menu” sidebar), and the lowest setting is 80% / 20%.

    Here’s a simple illustration of what I would like it to look like, compared to how it looks now

    Hey!

    Try adding the following CSS code in the Quick CSS field under the General Styling tab in the theme options:

    .html_header_left #main {
    margin-left: 200px;
}

.html_header_sidebar #top #header {
    width: 200px;
}

.html_header_sidebar #header .av-main-nav > li > a .avia-menu-text {
    font-size: 10px;
}

    Best regards,
    Jordan
