    Hi there

    I just wondered, is it at all possible to change the primary menu colour?

    By that, I mean on my site the house of dog . co . uk – The menu which lists all the directory categories such as dog friendly attractions, dog friendly accommodation etc etc

    I’ve looked in the settings but can’t see an option. I think the menu is getting a bit unseen by visitors and needs to be more of the dark blue colour you see at the top with the white text?

    Thanks!

    Hi Richie

    The menu seems to be called Primary Menu > Top Menu

    I’ve just looked through all the settings you mentioned and more, and just can’t seem to find this menu anywhere to edit.

    It’s the pale blue underlined menu on the homepage. Whereas everything else is dark blue underlined.

    What am I doing wrong? :/

    i dont think the color work for manual created links via custom menus. only category and pages links.

    Ah no ?? Is there a way to do this through custom css or anything? (I don’t know anything about css though, only how to pop some extra code in the themes custom css folder!)

    can’t help you with this since its involved css edits. however something like this can be add to custom css, use each menu id

    #custom li#menu-item-75210 a { border-bottom: 5px solid #cc0000; }
#custom li#menu-item-75210 a:hover,#custom li#menu-item-75210:hover,#custom li#menu-item-75210 ul { background: #cc0000 none; }
#custom li#menu-item-75210 ul li a:hover { background: #000 none; }

    An alternative for putting a custom link in the primary menu so you change the menu colour is to create a new page, then put a redirect on that page to send people directly to a custom link.

    You can use ‘Quick Page/Post Redirect Plugin’ which is really simple to use.

    This allows you to have a custom link in the primary menu which you can change the colour of rather than just having the standard pale blue which is set for all custom links.

    A little messy but it gets the job done.
