Cant change menu highlighted text colour?

Posted in: Newspaper

I have a sticky menu set up that I want with a black background, white text and orange when hovered over. I selected the gadget demo theme so the hover over colour is black and basically I cant find a way to change it from black. I go to the theme panel, theme colours and change the active and hover colour but it has no effect. I looked all through and cant find where it specifys the menu hover colour is black. I’m not talking about a hover over box I mean the actual text changes colour to black and I need it orange. Anyone know where the option is?

I would attach a screen shot as my site isnt live yet but theres not an option too.

Hi,

All demos contain custom design and will import theme panel settings when installed. The Gadgets demo contains a customized version of header style 5. You can see how that header style looks by default here

That black hover color is coming from the demo. It is predefined in the demo stylesheet

So no theme panel setting will replace it. At the time the demo was created there were’t many theme panel color settings, so this was made with CSS in the demo stylesheet.

A solution would be to remove the customization the demo adds for the header elements. Then the theme panel colors will apply

That would be the most recommended method to do this if you ant to keep using header style 5 with your own colors. Or you could change the header style, the customization of the demo applies only for style 5.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply, I did what you suggested and deleted teh block of code customizing the menu but nothing has changed? I even tried to simply change the colour code from black to something else but still nothing changed?

That definately the css which effects it?

That’s unusual, of you remove that code the header style would look as it does by default. Maybe you have caching and the page is not refreshing. Clear your cache and then force refresh the page (Ctrl+Shift+R).

I also tested, demo by default – http://prntscr.com/k6wkct
Without code – http://prntscr.com/k6wl5y
Then customize it from the theme panel colors section as you want.
