• Hello All,

    I was wondering if any one could help me with this. I would like to customise just one of the menus on the menu bar. The URL I use is http://www.longhop.net. I would like to change the menu & link colour for ‘About’ on the menu bar.

    I would also like to add a colour block to ‘Continue Reading’ feature on the theme Twenty Eleven version 1.3.

    Could anyone please help me with this?

    Thanks in advance!

  • Hello!

    If you would like to change only the About link then you have to insert this on your style.css file. Refer to http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_colorpicker.asp for the #color codes.

    .menu .page-item-67 {
    font-size: 1.4em;
    background-color: #555;
    }

    Are you refering to the Read More feature that’s enabled by the Read More tag on the post editor?
    If yes, insert this in your style.css file:

    .more-link {
    background-color: #555;
    }

    Awesome, thanks a ton awpninja!!!

    Do not edit the Twenty Eleven theme. It is the default WordPress theme and having access to an unedited version of the theme is vital when dealing with a range of site issues. Create a child theme for your changes. Once your child theme is active, we should be able to help with the customisation.

    Thanks Esmi, I have only made awpninja’s changes and I am looking at creating a child theme now. Would I loose the other changes if I did create a child theme?

    Yes. You will also lose them when you update the theme.

    Thanks a lot Esmi, I have successfully built the Child Theme! I will go through the forums look for the customisations that is possible.

    Hello All,

    Still looking for some tips on this. Any thoughts would appreciated.

    Many thanks in advance!

    I am using Twenty Eleven 1.3 and would like to remove the black menu bar from by blog. I am running it in a DW iframe on my site http://www.flyfishersproshop.com/fishblog.html.

    I assume I can remove it in the code but don’t want to mess anything up. Can someone direct me to a solution. Thanks.

    Thanks for the “heads up”. Im new to WordPress and forum etiquette. I posted a new topic under Themes and Templates.
