Protostar Menu Issues

Post by ggirol » Fri Feb 16, 2018 3:39 pm

I have two sites, both on Joomla 3.8.5 and both using Protostar. The menu appearance is drastically different (and I'm not talking about color), and I can't find where the setting is to change the look. I have not done anything in the stylesheets to create this discrepancy. The top site has nice rectangular bars. The bottom site has blobs, and to add insult to injury, the top two menu items appear on the same line! Any idea what is going on here? How do I change the bottom site to appear like the top? Here is a link to screenshots showing this issue:

Thank you in advance!

I'd say it's definitely a CSS issue, but it's hard to figure out without a link to the live sites...
I found the first site, and it seems to use the template's standard CSS.
The fact that an opinion is widely held is no evidence whatsoever that it is not utterly absurd.

press right button on top site menu item -> inspect element.
copy it's css style, make user.css in template css folder for second site, paste code in it, save and enjoy.

I just replaced the entire contents of template.css from the first site into the second. No change.

Code: Select all

.nav-pills > li {
    float: none;
}

.nav-pills > li > a {
    border-radius: 0;
}

Both sites use the standard template.css (so copying it would make no difference), but I think this has to do with the fact that Glen Lake uses nav pills and Jesseman doesn't.
If I remember correctly, "pills" is a module class suffix in the advanced module settings for the module that holds the menu - perhaps you could compare the settings for those modules?
