I have been searching for this for a couple of days and found a lot of places are telling me to edit the navigation file however when i look in this file i cant see where it is structuring my navigation menu.
When i inspect my navigation on my webpage the structure is
<ul> -> beginning of the list
<li>
<ol> -> first column of nav
<li> ->items in column
<ol>-> Second column of Nav
<li> ->items in column
<ol>->3rd column of Nav
<li>->items in coloumn
But i want it to be
<ul> -> beginning of the list
<li>
<ol> -> first column of nav
<li> -> All items in 1 column
I have put my navigation.php below because i cant find where it references the structure as i cant see any ol tags.

So i just need to know 1. if i am looking in the correct place for the structure of the navigation and 2. how to edit it? if you need any more info please just let me know.
My Main aim is to have the All Categories menu in a straight line on the home page and have it as it is on the rest of the website. If i am going about this the wrong way please let me know.
Thank you in advance
