Thank you for your help. Now, with Pagelayer and some CSS I have figured out how to change background for header and menu and to change text color of both. Pagelayer has significant capabilities and I look forward to learning more. I do appreciate your help.

Thank you for clarifying that. Other items that are PRO have identifiers to show that, but the Background Color Pointer doesn’t have the indicator and that led me to believe it was part of the free version. I guess that just makes it a documentation bug. Anyway, good to know. I really like Pagelayer and want to know it better before pursuing the PRO version. Thanks for your response and the good support.

Thank you for your response. Yes, I have another issue that seems to be a bug. When I attempt to edit the menu in header from Header,Footer,Templates,Pages > header, I attempt to change font color and pointer color and nothing happens. To demonstrate, I used bright colors in the attached graphic to show that the menu does not reflect the update. I have managed to use CSS to change font color, but have had no luck in being able to change menu pointer. Thank you for any improvement you can do here, as the Pagelayer plugin is awesome otherwise.

Here is link to a graphic that shows the issue:

Thank you for your response. My objective is to make the header transparent so the top of image below menu bar shines through, but that doesn’t happen when I adjust the transparent setting. Am I trying to do this in the wrong place? I will appreciate any suggestion to achieve this. Thank you.

Thank you for your response. My attempt to do this, however, did not work. No matter what color I changed those entries to, the header itself did not change. Is this a feature that only works in the PRO version? I can change header background color, but the color of menu selection does not change. Any tips or CSS mods that would do this will be appreciated. Overall, I am very impressed with the plugin and theme.

I will mark this resolved because the primary goal of my question was answered. Thank you.

Thank you for the help. Much appreciated. That worked great for left side of header where site title is, and I can set background color for menu on right. I did find a ‘Menu Style’ tab, but the COLOR and POINTER/BACKGROUND color options take no effect after setting. I did manage to change menu text color with CSS, but I cannot figure out how to change color of the menu pointer color. Would you please advise of how to set that or provide CSS to do that? I will be thankful for any assistance there. I want to understand my options on this terrific theme prior to building the final site.

A BIG thanks! I used Contact 7 and put shortcode in Pagelayer and it worked. The video used what I think must be the paid version of Pagelayer because the free version doesn’t have some of those options. Your tip on the shortcodes was how I got it working. In fixing the page, it’s not as pretty as your default theme contact page because I had to remove the nice formatting that goes with the paid version of Pagelayer – but that’s an incentive I need to consider because yours looks better. Your help was definitely a PLUS because this was not intuitive with free version. Overall, I am super impressed with the theme and plugins. Again, thank you.

Okay, I figured it out. I was missing some key steps on selecting the desired template. All is well. I regret any confusion.

WOW! That was easy. Thank you so much. That’s all it needed.

You’re very welcome. Always good to help each other. Stay safe.

Remove the semicolon after margin-right: 10px I think that may do it.

Try this. It may need !important, but it works from browser inspect:

.main-navigation > ul > li:last-child > a {
padding-right: 0;
margin-right: 10px;
}

good luck,
david

A BIG THANKS. It was that easy. I was so accustomed to using CSS for customizing that I never even looked there. I sincerely appreciate your help.

Thanks for responding, Patrick. Yes, after reinstalling, everything is working fine. Defender is a great plugin and my guess is the autoupdate may have caused the issue. I don’t anticipate any problems, but if one emerges, I’ll open a new ticket.
