1. Use this CSS to change the menu items color to white. This requires Custom Design upgrade.
```
.main-navigation a,
.main-navigation li.current_page_item > a, .main-navigation li.current-menu-item > a {
    color: white;
}
```
If you don’t have Custom Design upgrade, check if you have white available in the color palette.

2. Change the Page Template of your home page to Front Page and set a Featured Image to the page.

beeniebudsandco – did chaitanyamsv’s guidance do the trick? Since you do have Custom Design, the CSS he provided should take care of your first item, and applying the front-page template as he suggested in #2 should take care of that part.

There’s also a full setup guide for Sela here:

I have just joined so this is probably a super dumb question, but how do you change the page template of your home page to front page? I can make new pages but there are no page template options.

Please check Page Attributes support document.

If you cannot spot Page Attributes panel, please enable it from Screen Options at the upper right corner of the dashboard screen.

No question is dumb and we are here to help. So please don’t hesitate to ask away any question that is bothering you :-)

whisperingmouse – looks like you managed to find the front page template thanks to chaitanyamsv’s help. Are you all set?

Thanks! I figured it out in the end. I found the page attributes option when I created pages via the my site drop down menu thingy. So many new things to learn!

We cannot add html to create a sub menus. There is much simpler option to create sub menus :-)

staff-happychia, thanks for your swift reply, I have noticed that with the helpful links you have included “create sub menus” etc, the customization dashboard does not have the options that the example shows.

staff-happychia, I found the location of the menus need to be created, its seems as though WordPress are updating the dashboard and locating the the old layout was confusing, but I have now found it.

Thanks again for your help.
