Styling the Main Header Sub-Menu Items (Separately)

Written by Dan Mossop

By default the Divi Theme header's sub-menus use the same styles as the main menu links. If you'd like to adjust the look of the sub-menu items separately, here's how to do it:

Setting the Sub-Menu Item Font Size

If you'd like to adjust the font size in of the sub-menu links, you can easily do so with a bit of CSS like so:

#top-menu .sub-menu .menu-item a { 
    font-size: 13px; 
}

The default size is 14px, so usually anything larger than that will increase the text size, and anything less than that will decrease it.

Making the Sub-Menu Items Bold

If you'd like to make the sub-menu items bold while leaving the main menu links alone (i.e. non-bold), you can do so with this CSS:

#top-menu .sub-menu .menu-item a {
    font-weight: bold;
}

Or if using the Theme Builder:
.et_pb_menu_0_tb_header.et_pb_menu .nav li ul.sub-menu a {
font-weight: 500;
}
