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

I need a little help styling my menu bar.

Let me start by saying that I love this theme. I find almost every aspect custumizable. I am sure they all are I am just a noob and am learning as I go along. I have figured out how to put links into the menu bar however I cannot seem to find where it is that I customize the bar itself at. I want to change the size of the bar and control the background. I also want to center it.

The website I am working on is www.johnberrysculptures.com

The styling of the bar is done with CSS. You have to determine the selectors (You can use Firebug with Firefox for that) and then put the necessary CSS in ATO>Add HTML/CSS Inserts>CSS Inserts. That is easy to write in a few words but will probably take awhile to understand if you have never worked much with CSS.

A search through the forum should give you a start as well as Juggledad's cheat sheet for menus. An example would be
HTML Code:
#rmenu2 {
    background: #f0f0f0;
    padding: 20px 0;
    font-size: 20px;
}
Which will give you a gray background, 20px of padding on the top and bottom, a font size of 20px.

Experiment... Have fun.

in the header configuration area, use %page-center instead of %pages
