Use this CSS code

#topNav .main-nav ul li.folder>a:after {
    content: "\e009";
    font-family: 'squarespace-ui-font';
    position: relative;
    top: 2px;
}

 

Yes, that worked. Thank you!

One other ancillary question pertaining to the dropdown menus on my webpages: www.belasphoto.com.

I have multiple dropdown menus. On my "Photographs" dropdown,  hovering over the navigation bar displays the underlying pages clearly, with a gap between the navigation bar label "Photographs" and the underlying pages. However, on all other dropdown menus, when one hovers over the respective navigation label, "Blog" for example, the underlying pages are displayed over the "Blog" header. Same with the others.

I haven't found the cause for this aberrant behavior, and would like to correct it so that all dropdown menus display like the "Photographs" dropdown.

Anyone have any suggestions on what the solution may be?

    position: relative;
    top: 1px

Hi @tuanphan - Thank you !  The new part of code (align-items:  centre;) helped, but the alignment was still slightly off.  However, it put me on the right track so I tried "align-items:  end;" and also "align-items:  flex-end;".  These both fully correct the alignment issue, but I'm not sure which one is best to use.

I'm looking to replace FR | EN | DE | NL 

language switchers on my header with a simple V arrow menu.  This is a temporary work-around, but still one or other of the options obscures another.  Site is live at https://xn--laflnerie-e2a.com/.

I use Shift template.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Add to Design > Custom CSS

ul.cf>li:last-child .folder-parent>a>span:before {
    content: "\e009";
    font-family: 'squarespace-ui-font';
    font-size: 18px;
}
ul.cf>li:last-child .folder-parent>a>span {
    font-size: 0;
}
