Hello,

I would like to re-style the header so that the block containing the logo and main nav have a background colour. This includes the outer and inner block containing the logo.

To do this, I tried to add CSS to the custom.css file but I can’t seem to get the main nav hover and active link CSS to work properly. You’ll see from the demo link below that I have changed the header background, but when I scroll down the centre of the header block remains white – it should be green like the rest of the block. Also, you’ll see that I’ve changed the nav link text colour to white, but I can’t seem to make the hover or active link states a different colour.

Can you help please?

Thanks,

Blair

Hello,

Please add this code into the custom.css file to change background color of the white part:

.fixed-header-area .fixed-header { background: #82cabc; }

Add the following code into the custom.css to change hover state link color:

.header-type-variant6 .menu > ul > li > a:hover { color: green; }

Change ‘green’ to your desired color.

Thanks Jack, we’re nearly there…

There seems to still be a problem with two more styles:

1) The active item state in both the full and scrolled down conditions seems to be adopting the main site colour. How do I change this to a specific colour so it is different to the background of the header block please?

2) The hover state style for the ‘non-scrolled down’ condition is working well. When I scroll down though, the hover style is not working – the on-hover menu item adopts the main site colour style, not the custom one.

Any chance you could send me the selectors to change these please?

Thanks 🙂

Hello,

This is code for main menu active state links:

.menu .current-menu-item > a { color: red !important; }

And this is for fixed navigation hover state links:

.menu > ul > li > a:hover { color: "your desired color here"; }

Hi

I am trying to have one main menu item red, menu item ‘Sale’. I placed in the default.custom.css this style:

.nav-sale {
color: #aa1a1a;
}

I then placed in the appearance > menu > sale > css (optional field):

nav-sale

This isn’t changing its colour. Any ideas?

Thanks

Hello,

It is necessary to rename “default.custom.css” to “custom.css”.
Here is a video tutorial how to enable custom.css: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qok2zRedRMY&feature=youtu.be.

Hello @toby19,

Please provide us with wp-admin panel credentials in Private Content.
As I understood you correctly you want to change font color for the specific menu item, don’t you?

Hello,

Thanks to your code:

.fixed-header-area .fixed-header {
background: #1a2023;
}

i could change the background color of the fixed header.

i now would like to:

– change the backround color of the “normal header” to #1a2023
and
– change the menu-font-color of both the “normal” and the fixed header to #fff (if i set the “Main Font” in Theme Options “Typography” to white it also sets my headline in the content to white, even if i set all the H1-H6 in Themeoption “Typography” to #1a2023″)

thank you very much
