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

Gradient menu bar using Juggledad's cheat sheet

I would like to have a page menu bar with a purple to white gradient and a pink to white gradient for the hover/active tab. I created a gradient purple image to be repeated. I added Juggledad's cheat sheet to CSS Inserts and modified it as you see below. This is my website.

I have 2 questions:

1. Why does the gradient only work on the home page? If I go to any other page or post, it reverts to my other menu bar.

2. Where and how do I add the image for the pink gradient that will be used for the hover/active tab?

Thanks so much in advance.

the url you are using to point to the image is not proper when you go to other pages. change it from
HTML Code:
wp-content/uploads/2013/02/WHPurpleMenu.jpg
to
HTML Code:
/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/WHPurpleMenu.jpg

Thanks so much. That took care of problem number 1. Now where do I put the code for the pink graphic if I want the active page and the hover to be pink?

I suggest you take a look at this writeup about psuedo classes and then explain how you think you have to do it - yes it is test time
