Hello thecure

Have you migrated from J3 to J4?
Have you verified the order of your menu in the manager?

What do you mean when you say it's truncated?

In the screenshots attached you may see the problem.

I don't really see what the problem is (the screenshots don't demonstrate the problem clearly enough).

Since the site is not actually live, can you do a screen-capture video to further demonstrate the problem? (such as screencastify - chrome plugin)

Perhaps the difference is between the former template and Cassiopeia which simply may not accommodate the previous menu setup.

What template did you use in J3?

I clearly see the 3 or 4 last Items is thrown off the screen.

Is Cassiopeia in Fluid or Static Width Mode?

What Layout is set on the Menu Module? I use "Default Collapsible".

I cannot reproduce the issue, but I don't have that many items. The Items are moved to the next line when I shrink the browser window.

I have a local test site with 13 menu items. I just moved it from the right to the menu position and find that it wraps. This is just a piece of it:

I suggest you open your browser Developer Tools and see if you can find the div that contains the menu. It seems to be the grid-child class that needs fixing.

Use static , change to fluid and is the same effect. When use collapsible default menu layout, the 2nd line menus apears ok, but submenus stops working( event with the submenu -on-). Change back to collapsible dropdown and menus don´t move to the next line, but submenus work ok.

Try this in your user.css file:

Code: Select all

@media (min-width: 992px) {
  .container-header .mod-menu {
    flex-wrap: wrap;
  }  
}
You find the user.css file in System / Site Templates / Cassiopeia Details and Files / css

If it is not present click the New File button and create it.

Also, I recommend Title Case for menus rather than ALL CAPITALS - amongst other things, it takes up less space.
