    I don't seem to be able to do this:

    I want to make "Community" have a red background on my menu as it is new and stand out from the other categories.

    How do I do this?

    Many thanks, N

    Add a class to the menu in the WordPress menu builder and use the new class to make the background red.

    Hi Victor,

    I have done this, adding the class community-nav to the menu builder (and parliament-nav).

    But this is not working:

    .community-nav {
    background: #e7112a;
    border-radius: 5px
    }

    It's working fine. The background is now red.

    In the end I downloaded the Simple Custom CSS plugin and placed this:

    /* Enter Your Custom CSS Here */.menu-item-12539 {
    background: #e7112a;
    border-radius: 12px
    }

    It is not very good, but a start.
