How to change navigation text color

Hey there neddyrich1,

How are you doing today?

I’ve checked your site and I can see the blue hover on the menu links. Not sure if you still need help on this one but in case you do this is what you can add in the style.css file of your child theme or add it in your site using the following plugin:

.banner nav li a {
    color: #fff;
}

.banner nav li a:focus, .banner nav li a:hover {
    color: #015aff;
}

First part should change link color and the second link hover color.

Best regards,
Bojan

Hello and thanks so much for your reply. I use google chrome and I right clicked – inspect element – to play around much like firebug. I located about the same code except there is no “li” in it.

‘.banner nav a {
color: #fff;
}
.banner nav a:focus, .banner nav a:hover {
color: #015aff; }’

This seemed to do the trick however when I click a menu item and go to destination, that menu item does not stay blue (called selected text I think). Perhaps if I use your code with the “li” in it that would do the trick.

Thanks again

The first and last punctuation is not included in the code I added. I put that there thinking this is how to “backtick” the code to display it here. Shows you what I know.

Hey again neddyrich1,

I’ve added li there just to make sure original code gets overridden with the new one. You can find more info about using specificity in CSS here: https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2007/07/css-specificity-things-you-should-know/.

If you’re looking to have same color as when hovered on the menu item that is active then you can try adding the following code:

.banner nav li.current-menu-item a {
    color: #015aff;
}

As for using code element here you can simply select your code and click on the code button above your post https://screencast.com/t/zxXUcP1Aa2xd.

Hope this helps ??

Cheers,
