timesnewpaulie on "change text color of navigation menu buttons"

thanks ... however..... this does not change the color of the link of the current page in its resting state... e.g.

when on the home page the home link color is white
when I mouse over or hover the color of the link remains white

I want to change this so...

when on the home page the color of the text of the home link is gray
when I mouse over or hover the colour of the text is white

..... i think there is a separate rule affecting the appearance of the link on the page you are currently on... i don't know how to override or change this rule.. but thanks again for your help

To change the color of the link in it's resting state, add this to your CSS stylesheet:

#access ul li > a {
    color: #AAAAAA;
}'

Change the hex code (#AAAAAA;) to change the color.

To change the color of the hover,

#access ul li:hover > a, #access ul ul:hover > a{
color: #AAAAAA;
}`

Again, change the hex code to change the color.

how do I change the color of the text of the current page link in the navigation menu e.g. "home" without affecting its color in the hover state?

e.g.

when on the home page the color of the text of the home button is white

when I mouse over or hover the color of the text remains white

how do I change this so......

when on the home page the color of the text of the home button is gray

when I mouse over or hover the color of the text is white

Sorry, you are in the wrong forum and need to head over to http://wordpress.ORG/support/ as that is where self-hosted wordpress blogs using the software from wordpress.ORG are supported.

These forums are for those hosted here on the wordpress.COM free hosting service and things here work differently and our answers typically will not work for you.

If you do not know the difference, see this support document: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ .

Hello Everyone,

I am using the BlueMod 1.0.3 theme on my site. By default, it creates navigation buttons in the header out of created pages. I want it to create buttons out of my categories. Is there any way to do this?

Thank you very much!

You cannot. Until, or unless wordpress "hacks" all the themes here that don't have that and adds it in, we are all out of luck.

Sandbox has that in it.

Sorry, this should be li class="selected"

I've done a new style based upon Blix. In the navigation div, I expect every new page I create to have the appropriate li style="selected" allowing me to have an 'on' state of the button on the navbar. Looking at the HTML in FireBug, the li is not style="selected" but something else referencing the page name, which doesn't give me the button state I'm looking for. How do I get the li to be style="selected" when I can't hack the HTML?
