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 everybody,

I'm new here so : Hi !!!
Ok my question I'm working the last few days with the Word press 3.3.1 and Atahualpa 3.7.3.
So far so good, i have my own background, header, background on the center column an sidebar.
Still i can't find where i can change some things so this are my questions:

1. I want to use a own background on the category bar and also change the background on the
hover.
Right now I can only use colours.
2. Can I made the center column and sidebar have the same sizes everywhere and scroll when the
text is larger than the sizes of both?

I have more questions but i want to begin with this two

Thanks for helping me and kisses,

Crispuchita

1. This can be done with CSS using the selector for the menu
2. You can use CSS to give a height to the elements you want and then use the overflow:scroll property.

You don't need to, or in my estimation want to, modify any theme files. If you do and modifications will not survive a theme upgrade.

All the CSS can go in the theme options. Some areas have there own option CSS boxes and some you would put in ATO>Add HTML/CSS Inserts>CSS Inserts.

Then to backup your options you can export them via Export/Import Settings in the theme options.

Do you have any idea how can i get the background blocks that show up to disapear so I can lay menu text on top of this image? See attachment.

Code in Inserts:
HTML Code:
/*   THIS IS THE BLUE MENU BAR 
div#menu1 ul.rMenu {

    background-image: url("http://www.online.rssupplyllc.com/images/menu1-blue.jpg"); 
    background-position: 100%;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    height: 47px
}
*/
I changed the jpg so that is is solid color to match the background color of the menu item and that works but I'd rather have the text lay on top with rectangle transparent as shown in test site. test site here

Set them to transparent in CSS Inserts. You MAY have to add !important to the CSS though. Not sure of the selector but you can get that with Firebug.

Thank guys!!!

Of course i needed a:hover, silly me
I also get the overflow:scroll, but i must confess i don't like the colour and i know the firefox doesn't changing the colours of the overflow so maybe i will change that back.

I saw in the site of swimflyfast2 that he or she has an icon on the widgets menu, can i change that also in the atahualpa options??

And btw @swimflyfast2 is looking good your site

Again guys thanks !!!!
