How to center the secondary nav on mobile (via Custom CSS)?

Hello, I'm praying someone can help, hehe, as I've come up against the limit of my CSS knowledge!

I've used the following custom CSS to center my mobile menu, for my Squarespace 7.0 Brine site, and it looks great:

  /* center mobile navigation menu*/
  
  .Mobile-overlay-nav-item, .Mobile-overlay-folder-item {
  text-align: center;
  }
  
  .Mobile-overlay-menu {
    width: 100%;
    z-index: 1;
  }

/*end code*/

 

This is the result:

However, as you can see the secondary nav is a button (as I specified in my Site Styles) and it is for some reason still justified left. I've tried a number of things, inspecting the page elements and trying to force it with code like:

 

.Mobile-overlay-nav-Mobile-overlay-nav--secondary {justify: center; text-align: center;} but that doesn't change it and I'm sure I'm making a basic error in the CSS. Can you point me right?

Thank you so much!

Well you can try this to get started in your Custom CSS:

.tweak-mobile-overlay-menu-secondary-style-button:not(.tweak-mobile-overlay-menu-secondary-inherit).tweak-mobile-overlay-menu-secondary-button-style-solid .Mobile-overlay-nav--secondary .Mobile-overlay-nav-item {
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
}

Let me know if that doesn't work, or if it does!

Hi @Ziggy, hope you're really great! Would you mind awfully taking a look at my footer source code at www.levitate.london and seeing if you can spot why everything in the footer menu is off-center on mobile?

 

I used this custom CSS, which looks fab on desktop:

// center footer navigation - desktop //

.Footer-middle {
  justify-content: center;
  text-align: center;
  }

 

And this for mobile, which strangely is a little to the right of center (though to be fair I really don't fully understand CSS):


// center footer navigation - mobile //
@media @mobile {
  nav.Footer-nav * {
    width: 100% !important;
    max-width: unset !important;
    text-align: center !important;
    justify-content: center !important;
    }
 
  .Footer-business {
    display:none !important;}
}

 

Much appreciate any help (and also that you mightn't have time for this)!!

Thanks again,

Ryan

The max-width:100%; is causing the offset since there isn't room for 100% width given the padding.

Try adding this:

.tweak-footer-layout-columns .Footer-nav-group {
  padding:0px;
}
