Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

Hi all,
I've already looked through the this forum and find many post refering to the issue of changing the background image - but i'm a noob and do not understand it. Sorry!

I have made a menu image with the dimensions of 1023x47 px. Saved as .jpg -but to which path/folder should I upload it?

How do I make it work as a background image lying underneath the menu navigation (I simply just want the navigation to be on top of the image, so that you can see my image through)?

Please help....

my page is: www.handyhansen.dk

I have tried to put in this:

div#menu1 { margin-top:40px; background: url(/wordpress/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/menu2.jpg);
}

But the background isn't showing - I can only see the yellow color I have chosen under ATO>Header Area> Page Menu Bar>Background color

OSX 10.11.5 WP 4.x Atahualpa(all) Safari, Firefox, Chrome
to change the background image of the PAGE MENU BAR (not the menu items) use
HTML Code:
div#menu1 {
 background: url(http:/yourdomain.com/wprdpress/wp-content/uploads/yourimage.jpg) !important
}

Hey Juggledad, Thanks for the reply! I put in this code:

ul.rMenu li {
height: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 40px;
margin-left:40px;
background-color: #000000;
}
div#menu1 {
height: 47px; //the height of my menu-image
margin-top:0px;
background: url(/wordpress/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/menu2.jpg);
background-color: transparent;
}

Now everything is working.

See the result at: www.handyhansen.dk

I haven't got a clue what the code actually means (I'm a newbie!).
But after 24 hours of scouting this forum for answers my energy is running very low!

I know It has nothing to do with the orginal question (or the subject of this forum) but do you know how to remove the text/image mouse-over on the content pages (for instance the "profile" page) - it's very irritating!)?

Thanks a billion....

I can see that It only happens on pages where I use the table function in the WYSIWYG editor.

I solved it visiting: ATO>Various Content items> Style Tables.

in Safari and Firefox on the MAC, all your menu items are on top of each other

I'm seeing the same thing in Firefox, but not IE, in Windows (menu is bunched on top of itself).
