I'm trying to change the menu colour and the colour of the individual title blocks for each section on my website www.tip-index.com. I'm using wpzoom sportspress theme. I would also be grateful if anyone could let me know how to get rid of the thin white line just above the menu and footer. Any advice on the matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Unfortunately, it's all going to be in the Style.css file. It's going to be pretty hard to direct you, cause I really need to see the file but where you want to make changes is "Navigation", but are you using a Navigation plug in? If so, does it have it's own CSS file? If not, then it's in the theme's CSS file. Sorry dude, I can't direct you to the exact line number, maybe someone else can. But as far as the thin white line at the top, it appears to be part of the image that makes up the background image. You can find that here: /wp-content/themes/sportpress/images/back_menu.png I'm betting if you crop off that top half, that will take care of that. The footer is probably done the same way.
Thanks hmansfield, I managed to change the colour of back_menu.png and that has enabled me to change the colour of my nav menu. The white line above the nav menu is a border-bottom attribute of the header. I can rectify this by deleting this attribute. The problem I have now got is that I can't seem to find out how to change the colour of the hover and active nav menu states. I have attempted to change back_menu_active.png and back_menu_hover.png but this doesnt seem to work. Any ideas?
No, but at least now you know HOW to find things and change them. I'm sure you will find it. Those things you are looking for are in the style.css file. If you have more than one css file, you'll have to determine which one is the active one that controls your home page and website. Once you open it, it's easy to see the navigation colors and attributes. It's usually labeled "Navigation", or it may be in a section of the CSS file labeled "Header" and most designers call the link attributes "Links" and use terms like "Hover". You'll probably have to play around with it and see what works. Make sure you back up the original file in case you need to refer back or reinstall it and start over.
