Color items of top menu

Am I able to change the color of one specific item (not all) in the top menu? For instance have made it highlighted with red?

Hello, Catalin,

thank you, but I mean highlighting just one item in the menu. Other words, for example, five menu items are made with black and only one with red. Perhaps we should think how to paint a header of the particular post to the desired color, for example red?

Hi

Yes you can but it’s necessary a bit of code to achieve the desired result. First you need to add a custom css class for that item: http://screencast.com/t/T9PZDqNb Then you can use some css to set a different layout only for that item, here is an example: http://screencast.com/t/lwgeicOVuh

.colored-item{
background-color: green;
}

Hope this helps!
Thanks!

Hello,

yes, it works. Big thanks.

By the way please tell me how to change the color of text, but not its background? I’ve used color: green and nothing change.

HI

You need a different target to change the color, try this code: http://screencast.com/t/DDd1dZw7d

.colored-item a{
color: green!important;
}

Thanks!

Oh, yes! Thank you very much.

Hi! I wanted to do the same, but I believe the guidance is outdated now, since WordPress does not show CSS-classes option for menu items. Would you be able to update this thread?
