dropdown menu color

Ack! I just realized that now that box is white when I hover over the parent page menu item, but turns black when I hover over the submenu. I think I need to sit down with Alexanders tutorial and focus a bit more on this and not just keep running off to this forum for help!

hi, i went through this thread had the same problem, the background of submenu changes but there is a black line between each submenu , is there a way to get rid of that line?

also is there any way to make the menu have transparency using rgba style.

I’d really appreciate if anyone has suggestions about this

nope still stuck with white boxes for submenus.
They turn black when I hover over them
In the main navigation links act funny– one stays black, 3 that originated as categories turn when, and one turns red when I click on them.

sigh….

So.. here’s the CSS based on Alexander’s tutorial– any insights?

To change the link color:

#access a {
color: #666666;
}

To change the color when hovering over it:

#access a:hover {
color: #c8191b;
}

To change the color of the selected topic:

#access .current-menu-item > a {
color: #c8191b;
}

Change background of main menu link:

#access a:hover, #access .current_page_item > a, #access li.current-menu-item > a {
background-color: #f8f8f8;
}

To change the background of the sub menu link:

#access li li a {
background-color: #f8f8f8;
}

To change the background when hovering over the sub menu link:

#access li li a:hover {
background: #f8f8f8;
}

imcarmel,

Can you provide a link to your persisting problem?

Thank you all for your feedback. In the latest version I have added the option to change the submenu background color. It’s just been synced in the repo:

Cool!!! Thanks!
I still have the problem that the current page links in the main navigation behave 3 different ways– the home page (blog) stays grey, the portfolio ones ( from category pages) turn white and the bio ( normal page) turns red.
I’d also love to be able to get rid of, or make less noticeable, the boxes around the drop down menus.

The site is temporarily at https://69.195.124.94/~ingamari/ until I get it finished.

The current CSS I’ve added is :

To change the link color:

#access a {
color: #666666;
}

To change the color when hovering over it:

#access a:hover {
color: #c8191b;
}

To change the color of the selected topic:

#access .current-menu-item > a {
color: #c8191b;
}

to change line

#access li li a {
border: none;
}

i moved the site to it’s permanent URL.. which isn’t up and running yet .the URL starting with the numbers no longer works. try ingamariecarmel.com in a few days

it’s up at ingamariecarmel.com.

The current link issue persists..if I can’t fix it, I guess I’ll just have to make a darker menu bar ??

Thanks Marie, for the codes above. It solved my problem with the colors of the submenus.

Thank Alexander…

unfortunately my problem persists… the menu items made from categories go white and disappear into my white menu bar.I tried it with a darker bar, but just don’t like it…..

@imcarmel,

Can you sum up the issue again? It’s just this thread’s got a little hectic and I can’t make out your issue.

Yea it has ??

the site is at https://ingamariecarmel.com

I have items in the main nav. bar that come from 2 different sources… some are regular pages and some are from categories. The regular ones behave fine. The 5 from categories look fine until you click them, then they go white (which is the default in the theme). In other words they don’t respond to any changes in the navigation link colors.. either in the theme options or in css. I’ve tried in both the Jetpack version of a css editor and in the theme options version.

The css I used came from Alexander’s tutorial

#access li.current-menu-item > a {
color:#333;
}

but the editor asked me to leave out the li, so I tried:

#access .current-menu-item > a {
color: #333;
}

Neither worked in either editor.

So I’m at a loss of what to do.

thanks for any help!

Where are you making those CSS changes?
