Transparent header, darker text buttons Shapely

Hi,

I’ve been through previous posts on this subject, and I’ve successfully converted my Shapely theme ‘menu-header’ background to transparent, but the CSS provided for turning the ‘header’ full width image below that to transparent (as would appear on all other non-home pages), doesn’t seem to work. Is there an easy option please ?

Also I’d like to change the Text in the menu buttons (as above) a shade deeper color, how do I do that? thanks again
example attached

It’s a great template and other than this is working out great, much appreciated

Hi @mary,

It will help us a lot if you could send us you live website so we could check,

Thanks,

Hi , thanks for your reply.

I’m not sure what’s going on with the web site. I inserted a header image as a Theme option, and it slotted in below the ‘menu’ header for additional pages. I seem to recall that without that extra image I was looking at an extra deep white space which I didn’t want…however:

I replaced it since last writing to you, and the replacement jpeg image isn’t showing up in additional pages at all, so creates the transparent look I was after, (despite there being no additional CSS code for it at all).

I found code here to make the menu header transparent, and I was looking for code to make that second image space transparent but it seems to have disappeared of it’s own accord. What would be handy to know is how to change the color of the text of the menu buttons in the default Theme header.

Another issue which has just developed is that I’ve had blog options switched off from the Theme options for all web pages, (not wanting any blog type material or last post by etc on it), and blog options are switched off in the Theme (jpeg att), however that seems to have reversed to WP default. Have I missed something?

Sorry - the attached it a better indication of the ‘blog instead of blank page’ issue…

Hi @mary,

Use this css code to change the menu color:

.menu li a {
    color: #e5a510;
}

Try to go in settings> reading> static front page and assign there a blog page.

Thanks,

Cristian
