 * Hi najrj89.
 * > i did this but not working
 * Where did you get that code? And what exactly did you do with it? And if you 
   could post a link to your site that would be helpful. Thanks.

 * So, in Theme Options > Styling, you set the Header Menu Background to #000000?
   And now, when you hover over the Home menu item, you want the background to turn
   red?

 * Try adding this to your child theme or custom css:
 *     ```
       /* main menu hover background red */
       #nav-header .nav li:hover {
         background-color: #f00;
       }
       ```

 * Comments in css are delineated by /* and */. The code you posted is missing the
   two /. When WP reads that line it doesn’t know what it is. That creates an error
   condition and everything below that is ignored.
