Solution - How to force the category names to stay on one line in the drop menus

(1/1)

OneMore:
To avoid carriage returns for long category names in the drop menus, simply add this CSS rule to the
"storefront/view/default/stylesheet/style.css" stylesheet:


--- Code: ---section#categorymenu div.subcategories ul li a {white-space:nowrap;}
--- End code ---

Tested for AbanteCart 1.2.11.
I inserted the text at line 226, just before the ".container-fixed {" selector.

To force category names to stay on one line in drop-down menus, you can use CSS to prevent text wrapping. Here’s a quick solution:
.dropdown-menu li a {
    white-space: nowrap;
}
This CSS rule applies the nowrap property to the anchor tags within the dropdown menu, ensuring that the text stays on a single line. If the text is too long, it will overflow horizontally, so you may also want to set a max width and enable text truncation:
.dropdown-menu li a {
    white-space: nowrap;
    max-width: 200px; /* Adjust as necessary */
    overflow: hidden;
    text-overflow: ellipsis;
}

To force category names to stay on one line in drop-down menus, you can adjust the CSS of your website. Typically, you'll want to set a white-space property to nowrap in the CSS for the menu items, preventing the text from wrapping onto a second line. You may also need to adjust the width or padding of the drop-down menu to ensure there's enough space for longer category names. Here's an example CSS snippet:

.dropdown-menu li a {
    white-space: nowrap;
}
This will ensure the category names remain on a single line in your menu.
