The behavior you're describing, where the header menu switches to a hamburger menu at a larger size than expected, is typically controlled by CSS media queries. Media queries allow you to apply different styles based on the characteristics of the device or viewport.
In a typical scenario, the transition from a regular menu to a hamburger menu (often referred to as a responsive breakpoint) is determined by the width of the viewport. To adjust this breakpoint, you would need to locate and modify the relevant CSS code in your Joomla template.
Here are general steps to help you find and adjust the breakpoint:
Inspect the Element:
Use your browser's developer tools to inspect the header menu element.
Identify the CSS class or ID associated with the header menu.
Locate Media Queries:
Look for CSS rules within your template's stylesheets that include media queries.
Common media queries include @media (max-width: ...), where the specified width determines when styles within the query are applied.
Adjust Breakpoint:
Once you locate the media query controlling the header menu, adjust the max-width value to set the desired breakpoint.
For example, if you want the menu to switch to a hamburger menu at a smaller size, decrease the max-width value.
Here's a hypothetical example of a CSS rule that might control the breakpoint:
css
Copy code
@media (max-width: 768px) {
/* Styles for screens with a width of 768 pixels or less */
.your-header-menu {
/* Adjust styles for smaller screens, such as displaying a hamburger menu */
}
}
Remember to replace .your-header-menu with the actual class or ID of your header menu.
If you're not comfortable making these changes directly, you might want to check if your Joomla template has options in the template settings to control the responsiveness or if there's a custom CSS area where you can add your own styles.
Always make a backup of your site before making significant changes to ensure that you can easily revert to a previous state if something goes wrong.
