  Hi guys,

  I’m trying to edit the menu but have no idea where to look.
  I want to change the menu color from the white text and white pale background when you hover over it, and I also wish to change the colors when you mouse over it.

  I’ve forgotten all my CSS knowledge as I haven’t designed/coded sites for over 4 years now so any extra help my way would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there!

  I took a look at your site to see if I could spot anything that may be helpful in getting you started… I found that if you target this: #simplify-main-menu ul ul, .sub-menu, .sub-menu ul ul

  and add

  background-color: red;

  You’ll end up with this: https://cloudup.com/cN8FzZ8qhDl

  (Change the “red” to whatever color you’re wanting to use there by using a different color/color hex code. And double check your menu to make sure it’s doing what you’re wanting it to do, of course!)

  However, this forum is for sites hosted on WordPress.com, so you’ll be able to receive more help on your site in the forums for self-hosted sites on WordPress.org: https://wordpress.org/support/forum/, or perhaps your theme creator (d5creation.com) has some documentation/support that may be helpful.

  Be sure you’re adding your CSS in a child theme or CSS editor (like Jetpack’s Custom CSS module) to avoid losing any CSS adjustments you make anytime your theme is updated. (If you need any information on those options, the WordPress.org documentation and forums can help you out.)

  Hope that helps get you started! Feel free to swing by the .org forums if you have any more questions. :)
