    I am having trouble setting the background color of the sub menu. I went to the styling options and changed the color scheme. Everything on the nav bar changed to that color with the exception of the dropdown. I’ve been pulling my hair out and nothing I have found in the posts on wordpress has solved it. I don’t know if there is something that didn’t get done when the initial theme was coded that is preventing the change of the submenu or not, but it is frustrating. Maybe someone can help me out and steer me in the right direction. This is a WordPress learning experience.

  • That plugin has not been supported since 9-30-13, so there may be issues it is causing with both the theme and WordPress updates.

    But I’m not sure from your title what the plugin has to do with the nav menu? Did this happen when you installed the plugin? Could you be a bit more specific and post a url to your site.

    There is a support page for this plugin and if that is the issue, please post there.

    Jeff,
    Thanks for the reply. I am not talking about a plugin. I am trying to change the background color of the dropdown menu to the same color as the rest of the nav, but have had no luck. I inserted the link to the site last night, but I don’t guess it made it with the post.
    As I said in the first post, I have tried every way imaginable to change the background and hover colors on the drop down menu, but nothing I have done has changed anything. The main nav bar was no issue as it changed when I changed the theme colors on the options page for setting background colors, etc… in the theme. Anyhow, here’s the link:

    I apologize if I needed clarification but hopefully this will help.

    If you’re not familiar with a child theme, just want to make sure you’re aware of its use in making changes like this to your theme so that they are preserved through any theme updates.

    Also there is a tool for Firebox you may not be aware of that allows you to edit the css of the site right there live in the browser window.

    Using that tool I changed this CSS block of code in the style.css file from:

    #navigation ul li li {
    background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #424242;
    border-bottom: 0 none;
    }

    to

    #navigation ul li li {
    background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #018b90;
    border-bottom: 0 none;
    }

    and the green color was there in the drop down.

    Thanks a lot Jeff. I opened up the css this morning before I left for work and fixed that issue. I am sure I will run across more as I slowly learn how to work with WP. I tried my hand at it a little over a year ago and got frustrated to the point that I gave up on it. Most of the issues lies with the fact that I haven’t worked with it before.
    Again, thanks for your help. The instructions you gave were spot on.

    You’re welcome/
