  • Your header is not a color, but a repeating gradient image in your header.

    Go to Appearance/Editor and modify this selector in your stylesheet to reflect the color you want (italics is your current background image):

    body {
    background: url(“images/bg.gif“) repeat-x scroll 0 0 black;

    color: #FFFFFF;
    font: 12px Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    text-align: center;
    }

    Can you link to your site, not the theme?

    Please? I know its a really simple fix between the custom menu class and my site selectors, I just don’t know how to write it and don’t have a lot of time to waste.

    If someone has an answer/help I can definitely credit your PayPay account this evening.

    Thank you!

    Do you have a link to your website?

    I like to read my CSS file in Beyond Compare, a software where you can compare exactly which changes you’ve made with the original CSS and your modified CSS from the Editor screen.
    You can download a trial online if you have an immediate project and purchase later if you find it useful and have have other projects to work on.

    As far as grabbing a readable copy of your stylesheet goes you can just go to “View” in your browser and travel to “Page Source” and then select the link containing your website’s theme name ending in .CSS to grab your Stylesheet or you read it using Firefox’s add-on Firebug. You could also open it using your FTP client to download it to your machine and open it in Notepad.

    I’m aware that the menu labels I created for each page/section are different from that of other sites;
    however, I’ve previously found it useful to consider the structure of the CSS of other sites in order to find solutions for my own.
    Forgive me – I’m still learning.

    Unfortunately these are general support forums where advanced users are forced to cohabitate with novices. However, while you may be forced to endure amateur questions you are not forced to make terse or uninformative replies.

    Though I am embarrassed at not having found a solution myself and lament annoying you I have written in the vein of using the forum for one of its purposes – asking questions which when answered descriptively, prevent future novices from asking them again given their ability to find resolutions via searching the archives.
    Novel, I know.

    Have a fantastic evening and a productive week Esmi.

    If I hear from someone less hostile I will be deeply appreciative.
    Thank you in advance.

    I’m currently using Firefox Firebug and attempting a little reverse engineering by reading the source of WordPress sites I enjoy which feature this sort of menu.

    I haven’t found a solution but it isn’t because I’m not trying to actively help myself with tools available to me.

    Thank you and have a great evening!

    I have created the menu and my navigation is placed as I want it.

    So say each of my pages/sections in my site are labeled like:

    #section_shoes

    What would the code look like for an image-only navigation?

    I know what I have to do…I’m just uncertain as to what exactly to write.

    Thank you for the response, it is appreciated!

    Hi Mercime – thank you for the response!

    So I would have to create new 100% width divs around each content area to insert multiple backgrounds.

    Which file would I be modifying?

    The stylesheet? would I modify the page.php file?

    Thanks a million!

    Its not a permalink issue- I’ve realized its a database issue because some of the links call my old website / domain.

    Its so weird because once before I imported my dmp file from my old installation and everything was golden….and now its calling my old site.

    I’m trying to backstep and see what I did differently…but really all I did was import the dmp file to sql.

    This database is fickle.
