Please can you tell me how to reduce the height of the main menu using CSS?

Also, is there a way of removing the home page’s actual box that you write in? The bit where you go to “pages” > “home” > “edit”. I don’t need that box to show on the front page anymore, but want everything else to remain: header, slider, menu, background image and Featured content etc.

I can actually leave the home page’s box if I can do the following:
Move my slider images (which are now on the right, and small) over the home page’s box – like I am showing you in this image…

or try…

Also, is there a way to make the home page’s box as wide as the full page?

And can I delete the wording that is ringed (on the left side of the image) without the same “Home” word becoming lost from my menu?

@Hair Bear: For menu height, you can adjust the passing-bottom in the following css as per your need and then add it in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box:

#header-right .widget .menu a {
    padding-bottom: 24px;
}

But, second I couldn’t check it as when I view your site, it’s all “Oops! That page can’t be found.”

Sakin, sorry I had to put the site in private. The menu size in now fixed, though, thank you!

@Hair Bear: You can hide the it by adding in the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box:
.home #main { display: none; }

Thanks. Also need to know, for a friend with the same theme, how to move the slider images over the home page’s box – like I am showing you in this image:

Also, is there a way to make the home page’s box as wide as the full page (meaning as wide as the menu bar)?

And can I delete the wording that is ringed (on the left side of the image) without the same “Home” word becoming lost from my menu? Thanks.

@Hair Bear: Can you post in your friend site URL.

Basically for this, you need to build child theme. For child theme, refer to http://catchthemes.com/blog/create-child-theme-wordpress/

Then remove slider by adding the following code in your child theme functions.php

// Unhook default Adventurous functions
function unhook_adventurous_functions() {
	remove_action( 'adventurous_before_main', 'adventurous_slider_display', 40 );
}
add_action( 'init', 'unhook_adventurous_functions' );

Then you can hook it in the position you like. Like below:

//Adding Slider Image  in main content box
add_action( 'adventurous_content_sidebar', 'adventurous_slider_display', 40 );

Or you can simply call the function.

Great, thanks. Unfortunately, like mine, his website is private whilst being built (because he has info on the site that needs to be passed by relevant people before it goes live).

Also…

He wants to know if there a way to make the home page’s box as wide as the full page (meaning as wide as the menu bar)? And can he delete the wording that is ringed (on the left side of the image) without the same “Home” word becoming lost from the menu? Thanks.

@Hair Bear: Sorry I cannot check in before theme gets live. Tell him to make test site live.

Sakin, instead of having a colour for the menu’s background, is it possible to upload an image? Thanks

[Sakin]

@Hair Bear: Yes, you can add image as your background. For example:

#masthead {
    background: transparent url("http://www.seanofthecongo.co.uk/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/1-shags-oil.jpg") repeat scroll 0 0;
}
