I'm building a wordpress theme. my menus are getting classes from wordpress, like: .current-menu-item, .current_page_item & I'm using them to customize my active menu background color:
.current-menu-item a, .current_page_item a {
background-color: #ffef38;
}
but the problem is I've a secondary menu in footer, which is getting this style from css too. css for my footer is quite simple:
#footnav {
float: right;
}
#footnav li {
display: inline-block;
border-right: 1px solid #fff;
padding: 0 0.5em;
}
#footnav li:last-child {
border-right: none;;
}
so my question is, how can I remove the active menu styles from my footer menu only?
Either configure the styles to whatever you want on the footer:
#footnav .current-menu-item a, #footnave .current_page_item a { background-color:transparent; }
or make your initial selector more specific:
nav.myclass .current-menu-item a, nav.myclass .current_page_item a {
background-color: #ffef38;
}
Since you sound like you're just concerned about the styling, I wouldn't think about touching the PHP that actually generates those classes in the first place, since they may be relied upon for other things (e.g. javascript.)

I want to change the color of the parent and the sub parent category into two different colours. Currently using the following code for my widget side tab.
.widget ul {background: gray;padding-top: 1px;}
.widget ul li {background:lightgray;margin: 1px;}
.widget ul a{background-color:darkgray;padding:1px;}
looking to change the font colour. I have tried many options but still not getting it right.
Try this:
.widget ul li.parent > a {
color: red !important;
}
It's hard to say without seeing your HTML structure, but are each of the sub-parent links ('Access Control', 'Electronic locks', etc) their own ul tags?
If so, could you not target each of their first li's like this:
.widget ul > li:first-of-type > a {
color: red;
/* INSERT STYLES */
}
This would target all uls' first li > a elements, as in the image on the right.
I have a piece of code I've written, which I have placed above a section of minified CSS:
.scroll-fixed-navbar {
background-color: black !important;
}
.banner-list li i {
color: #f86900 !important;
}
.btn-primary {
background-color: #f86900 !important;
}
#nav li a {
color: #f1861d !important;
}
#nav li:hover {
color: #a8a89b !important;
}
[Huge chuck of minified code containing Font Awesome and Twitter Bootstrap]
On one server this works as expected, and the link items fade to grey on hover. On another server, however, the on hover effect does not trigger. I've tried opening the li elements in the inspector, but even on the server where the effect is working, the CSS doesn't appear to show up:
I saw somewhere that the :hover pseudo-class should only be applied to the a element, but I looked at the W3C wiki, and there is no mention of this there. Can I apply :hover to the li parent of an anchor in this way, or is it illegal code? Might the Bootstrap and/or Font Awesome code be overriding the CSS? Or is the problem likely to be caused by something else?
I think this:
#nav li a {
color: #f1861d !important;
}
is overriding this:
#nav li:hover {
color: #a8a89b !important;
}
Why do you set the :hover on the li? Try targeting the a element after the li:hover:
#nav li:hover a {
color: inherit !important;
}
I'm working on this Wordpress theme and I'm adding highlighted menus for the current pages using a darker color.
The thing is, I figured out how to highlight the current link, but when I navigate to the "Sample Page" (which is the one who have sub-menus), all the submenus listed get highlited as well. And I don't want that.
The URL -> http://experiencias.freeserver.me/
The CSS I added:
.nav .current-menu-item a{
color: #fff;
background-color:#bc3031;
}
I also tried this to see if it works, but it was not successful
.nav .sub-menu {
display:none;
}
try this
.nav .current-menu-item > a{
color: #fff;
background-color:#bc3031;
}
this will only highlight direct child not nested elements.
I have a bunch of images named after my pages in wordpress. Example:
page name : heart-health
image name : heart-health.png
My main menu has 1 sub-menu level and for each page name in a sub-level I would like to display the image as a background image set to the left. I have tried so many different ways but had no luck.
I know you can add custom text to the menu in the admin but I wish for it all to be done automatically.
I have found the start and end for sub level menu items in "nav-menu-template.php" & "class-wp-walker.php"
At the moment I just have the same picture showing on all sub menu items when you rollover but that is just using CSS.
.menu ul ul :hover > a{color:#000000;background-color: #eeeeee; background-image:url(images/menu-images/fruit.png); background-repeat:no-repeat;}
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
The best way to do it is via CSS.
For example
.menu ul ul .custom-class a { ... }
.menu ul ul .custom-class:hover a { ... }
You can set custom classes for each menu item in the WordPress menu management, just make sure the "CSS Classes" checkbox in "Screen Option" (top right of page) is checked.
Also, to make things easier, I would suggest making an image sprite of all the images you'll be using in the menu so that your CSS code is much simpler.
.menu ul ul a {
background:url('/url-to-sprite.png') no-repeat 0px 0px;
}
.menu ul ul :hover a {
background-position:-20px 0px;
}
.menu ul ul .custom-class a {
background-position:0px -20px;
}
.menu ul ul .custom-class:hover a {
background-position:-20px -20px;
}
I'm working with Pagelines theme on a Wordpress site.
The default overrides hide the bullets and tweak the margins and padding.
I've been debugging the Firebug. Found the CSS. Redefined styles for the UL element and LI elements I want to show bullets for. They still won't work.
The website URL is http://royalaire.com/site/
The offending list is in the sidebar, a nested list in navigation links.
I want second-level indented items bulleted.
Default are defined as:
.widget ul li ul li {
margin-left: .03em;
}
.widget ul li {
display: block;
font-size: 0.95em;
list-style: none outside none;
padding 0 2px;
}
I tried with the following:
.widget ul.children li.page_item {
list-style-type: disc;
}
Any ideas?
I'm not a CSS expert and I have some trouble figuring out which definitions you have written for that list, but I know that adding !important after a style definition will make sure that it overrides all parent definitions. try:
.widget ul.children li.page_item {list-style-type: disc !important;}
