 * I like the red for the main menu but it clashed with everything else so I changed
   it to black, but I want the red to appear as a hover effect on the menu, but 
   not the text. Is there a way to do this with custom CSS or do I need to edit 
   my child theme style sheet?

 * Download custom css plugin. You can add the color to hover easily by adding css
   there.

 * It’s better to add CSS rules directly to Custom CSS textarea. But you can edit
   your Child theme style.css file too. Both ways will keep your styles even after
   updating the Parent theme.
    Now add the following CSS code to change the menu
   Color on Mouse-over ( Change the #C60000 to any color you want 🙂 )
 *     ```
       .secondary-navigation li:hover a, .secondary-navigation li:hover ul a:hover, .secondary-navigation ul li a:hover, .secondary-navigation ul ul li a:hover {
       	background: #C60000 !important;
       }
       ```

 * [@rahul020691](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rahul020691/) No need to install
   any plugin. Custom CSS feature is already built in RedWaves lite (Appearance 
   => Customize => Design & Layout)

 * Hi I installed Redwave Lite but have no idea where to start customising WIDGETS
   ETC, as I see no instructions anywhere. I’ve only just got on this bus and have
   no idea where its taken me. I would really appreciate some help in getting started.
   In addition I don’t know anything about CSS or coding as I’m just started trying
   to learn through youtube. Any advice that can get my site going would be most
   appreciated.
 * Kind regards.
 * Glenroy
