How do I change the font and color of my menu?

    HELP! I just bought the “Gallery” theme. I chose it specifically for the layout, which works fine. My problems are all about the menu bar.

    1. The horizontal menu bar is white only and I want to color it.
    2. The drop down labels will not accept the colors I give them, although it’s supposed to be customizable. They end up in strange dark colors instead and the text does NOT adjust in color contrast (meaning if the color of the drop-down tab becomes navy, the text is still black instead of changeing to white or something more legible)
    3. Worst problem – the font is hard to read and I can’t figure out how to change it.

    If these things cannot be changed, then I will have to ask for a refund on the theme. I think when something says it has custom colors and custom menus, it should mean it.

    Hey Dani,

    First and foremost, I wanted to give you the Gallery theme’s specialized support page:
    https://premium-themes.forums.wordpress.com/forum/gallery

    Because you purchased a premium theme, you have direct access to your theme’s developers. This will let you go “straight to the horse’s mouth” for your inquiries.

    I can assist you with some things, but you might find it more expedient to ask the developers about issues that require adjustments to your code to make aesthetic changes to your site.

    So…if you want to change your font, please click the link below:

    https://daniharperauthor.wordpress.com/wp-admin/customize.php?

    Click Fonts and choose your font faces and sizes. It appears as if you’ve already accomplished this, but I wanted you to have the link in case you needed it again.

    Now, when it comes to the color of your menu bar and drop down items, you can talk to the developer on their forum OR for more detailed instruction on how you can make CSS adjustments on your own, take a look at these two links:

    I hope this helps! If you have any other concerns, drop me a note. Thanks much!
