Navigation cannot change specs

[renderinnovations 0]

Hi! I used a code Kate was kindly able to give me on moving the navigation up and beside the logo. However, I now want to create the text so that it hovers blue instead of that gray. I know the coding for this I used it on my other site... #primary-nav .main-nav li a:hover { Color: #225E9B; } #primary-nav .main-nav li a:hover { background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #ffffff; } Which I typed into the custom css in platform pro. But when I add this to the new site with the nav that is beside the logo nothing changes. Any thoughts? Here is the link... http://174.121.134.124/~ruttreal/wordpress/ Thanks! Adam B

For the sake if seeing if the code is even right let's try this: ` #primary-nav .main-nav li a:hover { Color: #225E9B !important; } #primary-nav .main-nav li a:hover { background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #ffffff !important; } ` Thanks, Bryan

This is interesting, nothing will change the color of the hover or text. I tried deleting the previous code for moving the navigation up and it still won't read the code. I can't seem to figure this out... any thoughts?

Hmm, let's try to start over from a new angle. All coding aside, explain to me exactly what color you want the menu links to be and there backgrounds throughout the different scenarios. Thanks, Bryan

Well, right now just simply black with blue rollover text... Someday I wish to learn how to make the menu so it is completely different so that there are images instead of just the words... Thanks for your help! I appreciate it.

Could you post the entirety of your custom css? The code mentioned by Bryan works in my site.

Okay, So I have two sites... we'll work with the one that I made and is most important... www.renderinnovations.com the only code I have inserted is the one listed above trying to change the color... which worked. Now I'm trying to change the background of the carousel and nothing else is working. I'm trying to add new css and no codes will work. I'm not sure what the problem is... The new code for the carousel is: #carousel .content-pad { background:#FFFFFF; } I just find this a bit odd because I can't change anything else now. The same goes with the other site, I changed the navigation and now I can't change the text color of the navigation.. Any other thoughts? Thanks! Adam B

If you're adding the CSS code for the carousel (or any other CSS code) to the Custom CSS box, try adding it to the base.css file in the child theme Platform Base instead.

Unfortunately I tried to do that too. I just simply entered my coding below everything and its deciding to not work... I'll have to start stripping things on the site and find what's causing this.

Try this CSS instead:

div.thecarousel {background-color: #fff;}

Excellent! Thanks Catrina! Why does this work and not the others? Now I just have to figure out how to make the navigation work and add a background buttons to it... time to play around. Thanks!

@Adam Sometimes you just have to target different elements
