deirdreParticipantHey
I’d love to know how to change the menu text colour. Currently it’s blue. I may have selected this colour when trying out a previous theme and it may have been transferred across when I move to Ultra theme.
Thanks for your helpOctober 27, 2016 at 12:55 pm #5407
Andrew MisplonKeymasterHi Deirdre
So sorry for missing your question. Please, feel free to bump a support topic if you don’t receive a reply in 48hrs.
Do you still need help with this question? You can set the menu colors in Ultra Premium from
Appearance > Customize > Theme Design > Main Menu
.If you’d like to stay with the free version, I can try to assist with a Custom CSS snippet.

deirdreParticipantHey Andrew
Thanks for getting back to me. Yes I’m still looking for help with this. I would prefer to stay with the free version.
When I hover over the menu item it currently shows in blue, or when i’m on a certain tab page that tab in the menu is highlighted in blue. I’d love to change this to fit with my overall color scheme. Css advise would be great.Thanks

Andrew MisplonKeymasterSure, you’ll need a plugin like Simple Custom CSS. Go to
Appearance > Custom CSS
and insert:/* Main Menu */ .main-navigation ul li:hover > a, .main-navigation .menu-search .search-icon:hover:before { color: #0896fe; } .main-navigation div > ul > li > a:hover, .main-navigation div > ul > li.current > a:hover, .main-navigation ul ul, .main-navigation .menu-search .searchform input[name=s] { border-color: #0896fe; }
Adjust as required.

deirdreParticipantHey Andrew
Thanks so much for your help. It looks way better already. The menu item which I hover over is now the color I want.
There are still a few places where the blue color seems to show
1. If i’m on the about page, the about tab in the top menu shows as blue
2. Any links I have to another page on the site show as blue
3. Any recent posts also show in blue.
Any help with that would be much appreciated.
Many thanks

Andrew MisplonKeymasterGlad to hear you’re making progress 🙂
It might get a bit cumbersome at this point as there are quite a few premium settings (some of which do hex color to RGB conversions) that control the parts you’ve mentioned like selected link color and content link color. I’ll do my best to assist a bit further.

deirdreParticipantAmazing
So much code, I didn’t realise it was so complex to do what I required.
It all looks great but one small thing. When I hover over a sub-menu item it still highlights in blue. If I click into a sub-menu page the main tab on that menu changes back to blue. Promise that’s my last question.
Thanks for all your help

Andrew MisplonKeymasterI’d need to take a look at your site at this stage to try and pinpoint either which CSS rule is missing or to see if there are problems somewhere in the CSS. You can use the

Andrew MisplonKeymasterThanks. Try adding the following to Custom CSS:
.main-navigation ul ul li:hover > a { background: #fec808; }

deirdreParticipantHey
Thanks that line of code solved one part, the hovering over the sub menu item. The second issue is still there “If I click into a sub-menu page the main tab on that menu changes back to blue. ”
Any ideas
Thanks as always for your help
October 31, 2016 at 6:51 pm #5455
Andrew MisplonKeymasterThanks for your feedback. Also, add:
.main-navigation .current_page_item > a, .main-navigation .current-menu-item > a, .main-navigation .current_page_ancestor > a { color: #fec808; }
October 31, 2016 at 8:47 pm #5456
deirdreParticipantAndrew you’re a legend
Thank you so much for all your help. My site is looking 10 times better after all your assistance. Very much appreciated.
Thanks
