Custom Navigation on Custom Background Image

  • I’ve searched and read so many threads not only via www.remarpro.com but via google, as well. At the risk of getting scolded for posting a question that has (surely?) been asked and answered countless times, I don’t know what else to do, other than pull my hair out.

    I’m trying to integrate the style of my static site, badnursie.com with my new WP blog.

    WP theme: Twenty Eleven – Child
    PHP knowledge: Absolutely none

    I’ve already managed to resize my header via my child’s functions.php to use temporarily.

    What I want is to completely remove the default nav bar and use my custom nav with my header as a background exactly as it is for my static pages.

    HTML for my nav list:

    <ul id="nav">
<li><a class="current" href="index.html">home</a></li>
<li><a href="about.html">about</a></li>
<li><a href="/blog">blog</a></li>
<li><a href="gallery.html">gallery</a></li>
<li><a href="freebies.html">freebies</a></li>
</ul> <!-- END navbar -->

    CSS for my nav list:

    [CSS code moderated – just post a link to you site]

    Would someone please be so kind as to just tell me exactly what to replace with what before I break out into hives?

  • Add this to the bottom of your child theme style.css – it isn’t complete, but will (should?) get you started.

    #access {
background: none;
box-shadow: none;
clear: both;
display: block;
float: left;
left: 160px;
margin: 0 auto 6px;
position: absolute;
top: 150px;
width: 100%;
}

#access ul {
font: italic bold 20px/32px Georgia,"Times New Roman",Times,serif;
}

#access a {
color: #D5754B;
}

#access li:hover > a, #access a:focus {
background: none;
color: #373737;
}

    While I appreciate the quick reply and don’t mean to appear ungrateful, I guess I’m just too noobified to make use of that crumb of info. Perhaps someone else could offer something more thorough? Please?

    I hate to be annoying, but can anyone else help with this? Thanks!
