    Trying to figure out what I can do to fix this annoying issue. While hovering over the menu items, the background bar becomes transparent behind the selected item.
    I’ve tried to fix it using all the customize tools built in and I’ve used firebug to try to figure out where it is in the code, but evidently I’m not bright enough to fix it. Can anyone help a wordpress newbie? Thanks!

    .menu ul li a:hover, .menu ul li a.selected{
    background-color: #DBE8D4;
    }

    Take out background-color and see what happens 🙂

    (This css appears to be applied directly to the page as opposed to within a stylesheet – I’m not sure what’s generating it.)

    Thanks, bemdesign! Even if I do feel like a numbskull for missing that…

    Follow-up numbskull question: I tried to leave the box blank, but it’s defaulting to a dark gray. Can I just not have a box at all?

    You can put in

    background: none;

    in place of background-color and remove all background styling from the element but how would a user tell which section they are visiting or which link they are hovering over?
