    1. Open style.css file.

    2. Goto Primary Navigation section and look for following code:
    #nav li li a,
    #nav li li a:link,
    #nav li li a:visited {
    background-color: #111;
    border: 1px solid #444;
    border-top-width: 0;
    color: #999;
    font-size: 11px;
    padding: 5px 10px;
    position: relative;
    text-transform: none;
    width: 128px;
    }

    3. Change font-size from 11px to any size of your choice. You can also modify background color of sub menu here.

    Regards
    Davinder

    Welcome, glad it worked. Regarding width, look for following code:

    #nav li li a,
    #nav li li a:link,
    #nav li li a:visited {
    background-color: #111;
    border: 1px solid #444;
    border-top-width: 0;
    color: #999;
    font-size: 12px;
    padding: 5px 10px;
    position: relative;
    text-transform: none;
    width: 128px;
    }

    #nav li li a:hover,
    #nav li li a:active {
    color: #c62765;
    }

    #nav li ul {
    height: auto;
    left: -9999px;
    margin: 0 0 0 -1px;
    position: absolute;
    width: 150px;
    z-index: 9999;
    }

    #nav li ul a {
    width: 130px;
    }

    Width value appear 3 times, change width value by same amount. Keep increasing till you get desired look and text does not fall in next line.

    Dear Davinda,

    You are so great. Thank you very much for your help. I really appriciate it. Are you a Designer? if so give me your email or website so I can keep and call if there is any work. I know a lot of people in NZ looking for websites.

    May be you can please help me out with one last thing. ..
    you know how the template has a parent theme colour and all the [read more] tabs are set to this parent theme colour on default, if there any way that we can change just the colour of the [read more]?

    I really appriciate your help thank you heaps.

    kind regards
    Anita

    Hi Davinder, I am trying to do the same thing widen the category sub menu so it stays on one line on the Lifestyle Child Theme . I changed the width settings but it doesn't seem to be updating on my site. http://www.immunesystemsupport.net. If you could let me know where to change the setting, that would be great. Thanks in advance. Tony

    font-size: 12px;
    padding: 12px 16px;
    position: relative;
    width: 175px;

    (line 1004 in your style sheet)

    and change the width to 289px
