Extend Grey Background Behind Child Pages in iBlog

[flominton 0]

Reference page: http://www.ohmayaphotography.com I added a bunch of child pages (architecture, arizona, beaches, etc)to the home page and I noticed the grey background behind the list of child pages is cut off after the first line of the list. The last two lines have no grey BG and I would like the grey BG to extend all the way down behind all of the page names. Can I fix this or is the template only setup to shade behind one line of page names? Thanks!

Can you post a screenshot or a live link of the issue? I'm having a hard time understanding your issue. but yes, I'm sure this is possible

I believe the css controls that (it's actually an image). The original is in style.css: ` /* sub menu */ #subnav { background: #fff url(images/agradient-30light.gif) repeat-x top left; margin-top: 15px;border: 1px solid #ddd} #subnav ul { margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px; list-style: none; } ` It might be as simple as changing 'repeat-x' to 'repeat' but I couldn't say for sure. I'll leave that to Adam or whoever.

You might find that just repeating that image might not look too good though. Instead you might try editing your Stylesheet from your WordPress Admin: Appearance > Editor > Stylesheet (style.css) then Ctrl+F (Windows) or Cmnd+F (Mac) on your keyboard to find this line of code:

#subnav { background: #fff url(images/agradient-30light.gif) repeat-x top left;;margin-top: 15px;border: 1px solid #ddd}

And change fff to e8e8e8;

#subnav { background: #e8e8e8 url(images/agradient-30light.gif) repeat-x top left;;margin-top: 15px;border: 1px solid #ddd}

and then click "Update File". Also, have you considered using the drop-down menu? If that does the trick for you be sure and mark this thread as "Resolved". Thanks, Bryan

@arpowers - I posted the link in my question - it is on the home page of my photo blog. I am going to try editing the style sheet and see if that works. Will mark issue as resolved if it turns out to be a good solution. Thanks! Flo

@ Bryan - re: using the dropdown menu...when I added the new pages I marked them as children of the home page and they automatically appeared under the main nav bar. I did not see an option to add them to a dropdown vs having them appear as they did. Maybe the dropdown would work better if I could know how to make them appear that way? Thanks Flo

THE CSS WORKED!!! Thanks Bryan! I will mark the issue resolved would still like to know how to make the menu be a dropdown because the way it is now, galleries only appear when you are on the home page since they are children of the home page. If you are on the contact or info page, they do not appear. Would they appear on every page as a dropdown?
