I am trying to: Create my own menu design in the Toolset-Starter-Child theme

Link to my site: Local site, not available for online viewing

According to the https://toolset.com/forums/topic/layouts-css-overrides-theme-css-for-menu/ forum link, I should be able to insert the hook coding at the bottom of the forum page in functions.php in the child theme and that would clear the issue. It didn't work.

Also, the advice in https://toolset.com/forums/topic/customizing-the-boostrap-3-menus-with-css/ didn't work, as the option Dashboard-> Appearance-> Customize-> Menu Styling doesn't exist (anymore?), much less have a "Remove all default CSS classes" option.

Unchecking the three options on the Advanced Settings tab does eliminate some of the default CSS styling, but the wp-content\plugins\layouts\resources\css\cell-menu-css.css is still being called.

I could use a shortcode menu builder plugin and just insert a Visual Editor/HTML field, but I'd prefer to have that "Remove all default CSS" option.

The first function is meanwhile 2 years old, it might be outdated.

The other advice is a bit newer, but also outdated.

When Layout is active, lot's of the settings of the Theme will be removed/neglected, as you now use the Layout Plugin.

As example, see this thread:
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/definitive-method-to-center-horizontal-menu-in-toolset-starter-with-layouts/

Now, Toolset Starter comes with some CSS inbuilt, and we do not reccomend that theme anymore, exactly becuase we provide now full integration with all themes and this Starter Theme made many issues to clients, hence we do not develop it anymore in future.

We will solved BUGS that break sites, but we will not add any new feature.

I would reccomend, if you want a clean fresh theme, to strat on your own framework, which is pretty simple to achieve.
Here is a Blueprint:

Use it as you like.

Related to wp-content\plugins\layouts\resources\css\cell-menu-css.css, that is not from the Theme, but from Layouts.
It is the Menu Cell. That is not customizable, unless with what you add to the actual Menu Cell settings.

You could also construct your own Cell, if you cannot work with the Bootstrap Menu that this cell provides:

Please let me know if with above information you can work further.

Wow. Depreciated your own theme. Might be good if you put some notice to that effect on the theme download page and eventually removed it.

Thank you for the links. I'll check out that clean theme.
