Up to now I have been able to successfully find and change colors that I wanted to change. But because I don’t know much about HTML or CSS files, I am having trouble determining how to change the following. Note – I am using Optimal Green.

Main menu options – would like to change from white
Main menu drop downs – would like to change the background color from black and possibly the the text from white

Custom menu – I am using the Custom menu widget in Home feature #2 but the menu options are white (on a white background) until you hover and then they are grey. Need to change those options to something other than white.

Thanks in advance for any help.

OK – I finally found on my own how to change the colors on the main menu options and drop downs. And, I even found how to get the Custom menu options to show something other than white. My problem now is that also changes the Main Menu colors which I really want to stay white.

.optimal-green .menu a {
color: #fff;

When I update the above it changes both the Primary menu options as well as the Custom menu options. I need the custom menu options to be different.

Help?

Yes – thank you. So sorry not to have done that. http://www.maxmyshopping.com/wp/
It’s a work in progress.

The Custom Menu widget in the Home Featured 2 section uses the same color font as in the header menu – white. I need to change the one for the custom menu to something else without affecting the header menu.

Thanks

Oh – sorry – and I have a similar problem in Footer area #1 – when I change the SIZE of the font in the header menu, it affects the size of the Custom menu options in the footer area. I need to control those separately as well.

Thanks again.

There are a couple ways you could do it. You could add this to your css file –
```
.widget_nav_menu a {
    color: #0d72c7 !important;
}
```
That will change the navigation in the widget areas. If you want to individually have a different color for the footer, then just copy the above code and add “#footer-widgets” in front and it should work as well.

Thank you. That worked to change the color in the Custom menu in both the Footer1 widget area and in Home Featured 2. However, the #footer-widgets suggestion you provided to change the footer to a different color did not work.

Could it be where I am placing it in the CSS file? Sorry for the newbie questions. Still learning CSS.
