How to Open a Submenu Towards the Left Using Astra?

How to Change the Direction for Submenu Opening?

By default, the submenus will open to the right side. Sometimes if the submenu structure is long, it might open out of the viewport on the right and the user will not be able to see it.

To fix this add the below-mentioned CSS class to the parent menu whose submenu is displaying out of the viewport.

ast-left-align-sub-menu 

For example: 
If following is the menu structure:

About
> About Team
>> Team Members
>>> Team Responsibilities
>>>> Team Contacts

Then add a CSS class ast-left-align-sub-menu to the parent menu – About Team  So that their sub-menus will open to the left instead of right. 

Detailed steps to add CSS class – 

Step 1: From the dashboard navigate to Appearance > Menus.

Step 2: At the top right corner click on Screen Options and enable the CSS Classes option.
