    I am using WP v3.8.1.
    The theme is Spun.
    I am using a child theme.
    The url is: http://a365dayscloudproject.bluecurl.nl/

    The menu, currently holding the item “about us” has a white background. I want it to be the same as the background from the rest of the website. I’ve been trying for quite a while now but I can’t seem to find the CSS tags responsible! If someone can help me I’d be very thankful!

    Try putting this at the bottom of your Child Theme style.css file:

    .main-navigation li {
 background: transparent;
}

    Done, doesn’t seem to work.

    Also doesn’t work when I change the background color like so:

    .main-navigation li {
 background-color: #f00;
}

    when I use firebug and select the ul and li.. both show no background properties. I think it is inheriting it from somehwere but I can;t seem to find from where..

    Instead of this:

    /* =Theme customization starts here
-------------------------------------------------------------- *

    Do this:

    /* =Theme customization starts here
-------------------------------------------------------------- */

    Btw if something obvious like body{border:10px solid red} doesn’t work then that probably means you have a syntax error somewhere.
