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

In the Category menu bar, you can choose your background color in HTML code form, i.e. #FFFFFF.
Where does this code show up in the phpBay Editor, because I want to put in 'transparent', but it won't take 'transparent' in the Background Color choice bar?

what is the 'phpBAY Editor' you are talking about?

to change the CATEGORY menu bar background, use
HTML Code:
div#menu2 ul.rMenu {
	background: transparent;
}
to change the CATEGORY menu item backgrounds use
HTML Code:
#menu2 ul.rMenu li a:link, 
#menu2 ul.rMenu li a:hover, 
#menu2 ul.rMenu li a:active, 
#menu2 ul.rMenu li a:visited, 
#menu2 ul.rMenu li {
	background: transparent !important;
}

I'm not Rythm but the phpBayPro Editor is an Ebay plugin for WordPress. Think maybe they got to the wrong forum? Or just mentioned the wrong product?

I am also having trouble making the background of my pages menu transparent. I'm not sure where you would insert this code you mentioned. Is is on the "Add HTML/CSS inserts" page? When looking at that page I already see the code

}
div#menu1 ul.rMenu {
background: transparent;
border: none;
}

in he CSS inserts. I am a relative noob, but that looks like it should make the background transparent. Since that code is there by default, there must be something I am missing.

Would appreciate any help you can offer.

thanks

I also need to make my menu bar completely transparent. I understand using the CSS insert to set the background: transparent, but in ATO-->Menu Bar you still have to choose an HTML color code, which is showing up (it's the blue bar in the attachment). What's the workaround here? Thanks.

This is great. I'm still a newbie at CSS, so I have one more step that I'd like to figure out...

I need to get rid of the background hover color effect. In other words, I want the menu bar to be completely transparent, with the only change on hover being the menu headings going from gray to white. The text needs to change on hover, but I want the background to remain unchanged. I tried modifying a few parts of the CSS insert but could not figure out how to get this effect. Does this make sense? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

For anyone who is interested, I got the effect I wanted... Here's how:

/* ================================================ */
div#menu1 ul.rMenu {
background-color: transparent !important;
border: none 0px;
}

/* ================================================ */
/* Page Menu item */
/* ================================================ */
div#menu1 ul.rMenu li {
background-color: transparent;
}

/* ================================================ */
/* Page Menu item */
/* ================================================ */
ul.rMenu li a:link {
background: transparent !important;
color: #aaaaaa !important;
}
ul.rMenu li a:visited {
background: transparent !important;
color: #aaaaaa;
margin-left: 10px;
}
ul.rMenu li a:hover {
background: transparent !important;
color: #ffffff !important;
margin-left: 10px;
}
ul.rMenu li a:active,
ul.rMenu li {
background: transparent !important;
color: #ffffff !important;
margin-left: 10px;
}

/* ================================================ */

}
/* ================================================ */
