    Hi!
    I want to change the black background of the primary/secondary nag menus and the menu across the top? And the type color?
    Can you help me know where the code is?

    Here is a sample page:
    http://ccsmain.carmeleducationalfoundation.org/?page_id=322

    Background to #245f9d
    Type to #FCF3DA

    Thanks.

    Put the following at the END of your style.css file:

    .menu-secondary {
    background-color: #245f9d;
    }
    
    .outreach-blue .menu-primary a,
    .outreach-blue .menu-secondary a,
    .outreach-blue .menu-secondary li li a,
    .outreach-blue .menu-secondary li li a:link,
    .outreach-blue .menu-secondary li li a:visited,
    .outreach-blue.outreach #genesis-responsive-slider a:hover,
    .outreach-blue #header .menu a {
    	color: #FCF3DA;
    	text-decoration: none;
    }

    Hi, Dev!
    thanks for the code.
    I pasted it in and it did change the top horizontal menu, but not the
    Primary or Secondary Navigation menus or the drop down menus.
    Are these connected?
    http://ccsmain.carmeleducationalfoundation.org/?page_id=322

    Any other ideas?

    Thanks.

    I don't see it there in the CSS. Put it at the very end using Theme, Editor.

    You will need more CSS for the other links.

    Maybe someone else can help.

    I suggest you hire someone to research this for you (but not me... way too busy!)

    Hi, Dev!
    I pasted it under:
    Appearance
    Editor Theme
    Stylesheet (style.css)

    updated and that is when the top horizontal menu turned blue, but not the primary and secondary.
    Was that the right place?
    thanks.

    I must be on the wrong site because I don't see the entries using Chrome Inspect.

    http://ccsmain.carmeleducationalfoundation.org/?page_id=322

    Are you sure you gave us the correct URL?

    Hi.
    Dev resolved in another question. Here is the answer, in case anyone else is looking.
    .sidebar .widget {
    background-color: #FCF3DA;
    }

    .sidebar.widget-area ul li a, .sidebar.widget-area ul li a:visited {
    color: #000000;
    }

    .sidebar.widget-area ul li a:hover {
    color: red;
    }

    Add your colors above where indicated
    first one is background color of sidebars (primary and secondary)
    Second is text color inside the bar
    Third is the hover color.
    Thanks. Dev.
