## 📍 Where to Add This:

### **Option 1: In Your Theme's style.css**
1. Open `wp-content/themes/alford-law-theme/style.css`
2. Add the CSS at the bottom of the file
3. Save

### **Option 2: WordPress Customizer (Quick Test)**
1. WordPress Admin → Appearance → Customize
2. Additional CSS
3. Paste the CSS
4. See if it fixes the alignment immediately

### **Option 3: Child Theme (Best Practice)**
If you're using a child theme, add it to your child theme's CSS file.

---

## 🔍 What Was Wrong?

The issue is likely caused by:
1. **Inconsistent vertical alignment** - Items weren't centering properly
2. **Line-height differences** - Text wasn't aligned on the same baseline  
3. **Display properties** - Some items might have been `inline-block` while others were `flex`
4. **WordPress default spacing** - WordPress adds its own classes that can cause misalignment

---

## ✅ After Adding the CSS:

Your navigation should look like this:
```
[Logo]  HOME  OUR FIRM ›  PRACTICE AREAS ›  TESTIMONIALS  CONTACT US  [Phone]  [Button]
         ↕      ↕              ↕                ↕             ↕
     All items perfectly aligned on same horizontal line
