Changing nav bar color?

  • How do I change the color of my nav bar? I have a very small amount of knowledge when it comes to dealing with code so I can follow instructions pretty well. Here is my site bouncensplashmoonwalks.com Thanks in advance for any help given.

  • You need to know a little about HTML and CSS to change the nav bar and this is not the purpose of the forum.

    You will find the CSS code in the style.css file that is located in your main WordPress folder. In the 2012 theme that you are using at the time I am looking at your site. The navbar code is under this heading:

    /* Navigation Menu */

    and the code that deals with it starts with:

    .main-navigation {

    There are a few pieces of CSS that affect the main navbar so you will do a bit of experimenting to get what you want. If you go to https://w3schools.com you will find a lot of information about HTML and CSS. Do a Google search and you will find many sites that have info on it.

    Have Fun,

    @donhoward: Thank you contributing to the forums but please do not encourage people to edit theme files directly. At best, they will lose all of their changes when they update the theme. At worst, they could bring their site down. They should be recommended to create a child theme or use a custom CSS plugin for their changes.

    @esmi: Of course, they would want to use a child theme to make any changes to their WordPress site. And for exactly the reasons you mention. Considering Shaun stated he was not familiar with HTML or CSS I should’ve included that in my post.
