  Hi
  I wish to add a customisation to my wordpress website’s menu by word wrapping the menu titles thereby creating space to add an additional menu item. The wordpress support team suggested I make contact with the experts on here.

  Kind regards

  To make space for another menu item in the Creative theme which is currently setup at http://nlpresolution.com/ I would recommend reducing the padding on the links inside the main menu. Here is an example that reduces that padding to 5px on each side:

  .navigation-main .primary ul a {
  	padding-left: 5px;
  	padding-right: 5px;
  }

  You can adjust that 5px number down to 0 or increase it as needed.

  Another thing you might do is try shortening whatever menu names you can, i.e. change “The Proactive Space” to “Proactive Space.” Another idea could be to move one of the top-level items to one of the submenus if you can find a way to do that which makes sense. It’s generally accepted design advice to try to limit lists and menus to 5 to 7 items when possible because it’s easier for people to process. Rules like that don’t need to always be followed exactly though—the best thing is to do what works best for your content on your site. :)
