Max Magazine – changing nav bar background color?

It’s so strange… i’ve added CSS elements to everything under the #header and #nav sections and it never worked.

Perhaps a link to your site would be helpful for people here to have a look at the code.

Good luck.

If you look in to the header.php file, you can see that the #nav is inside the #header. So you can change that and place it outside and then apply CSS to it.
I’d suggest you to have a look at the comments on the theme page (https://gazpo.com/2012/07/max/, there you can find answers to most of the common questions.

Thank you for response. I did look through the comments area and posted at the gazpo.com site as well. Nobody really seemed to have the same issue as me and it isn’t too easy sifting through all the comments without a search feature.

I am still having trouble applying CSS to the #nav bar. I’ve added “background-color:#000;” under all the navigation menu headings but it doesn’t do anything.

#nav ul li a with the black background does change that one particular area but the rest of the bar remains the same color as the background.

I do feel like a pretty big idiot here. I haven’t messed around with php in years but this shouldn’t be hard to fix… feel like I am missing something simple.

Thanks guys.

As mentioned earlier – a link to your site is pretty much necessary to help with things like this. You should only need to change the CSS for the site (unless there is something really unusual with that theme).

@russiancarl,

Without a look at the site it is almost impossible to help you. However, put this code in your child theme’s css file, save it, and then view you site in the browser after you have cleared the browser cache.

#nav {
	background-color: red !important;
}
#nav ul {
	display: inline-block;
}

Clearing the browser cache is sometimes necessary because CSS files are never automatically refreshed.

When this code works, you can change the color red to anything you want.

Good luck.

Thanks for all the help and responses guys.

I figured it out. Turns out for that theme its the #content tag that changes the nav bar color.

It was so frustrating but such an easy fix.
