Top bar / Navigation header colors

[msvivianrose@gmail.com]

On the creative homepage in the demo, the black navigation with white menu text color and a white logo are shown. I keep trying to change the colors in the customize – global and navigation areas, as well as on individual page custom styles, and I cannot seem to affect the top bar being white with black links. What am I missing?

Hi

It seems you’ve already figured it out?

Thanks

No, I haven’t. I keep trying to update it and it won’t save. The forward facing header on the site is white, not black. I change it briefly in customize but it won’t save that change. Do you see a black header at http://www.boxcarfilms.com/dev ?

But I see it’s white header with black link, look at the screenshot on my computer https://www.dropbox.com/s/mq5p1e76mamjhao/20140508165826.jpg
Have you tried to clear your browser cache?

I have said in both of my posts that I want the header color BLACK and WHITE navigation and social links. I cannot change it in Customize. It temporarily shows it is changed in the preview but when I go to site there still is the white header with blank links. I know to clear cache and so on. I have been messing with this for a month. There seems to be an issue with being able to change the header color and navigation links but I cannot figure out what it is. I have updated to latest version of Samsara and still no change in this functionality.

I still not quite understand, you want the black background color for the header with white link?
Or as my understand, you only want to change the background color of header and link color for the specific post? If so, you can customize it when you edit the post, you will find the page style customized section under the visual editor.

If possible, you can make a clip on screencast.com or tell me your wp login information with private reply, I will have a try.

Nope, not on one page or post. On the whole site, the header should be black, with white nav links, social icons, and then I’ll switch out with a white transparent logo. No matter what I do, the live site will not take to the black header and white links, it remains a white header and black links.

Finally, I see. You are using Child Theme, but I test the customize feature based child theme, it’s working fine.
If possible, You can tell me your wp login information here with private reply that I can check it by myself.

If not, I can only provide you a quick solution with the custom CSS as below.

#top,#fullscreen_stage,#primary-menu ul ul{background-color: #0a0a0a;}
#top.top-opacity,.top-opacity #primary-menu ul ul,body .portfolio-slider.flexslider{background-color:rgba(10,10,10,0.3);}
#primary-menu > ul > li a{color:#fff;}

You can put the Custom CSS to “Samsara Options > Custom style > CSS code”.

By the way, you can also active Samsara parent theme directly.

Thanks

Okay, so using the custom css code you gave me worked, though I had to add that the ul item be white so it shows up over the black background.
Now, however, I am realizing that pretty much EVERY thing I try to change in the Customizer options will not effect the site.
For example, I want to change the typography. I have all these options to do so, I hit save – nothing changes.
Is there something I am missing? Does the theme now work with the Customizer tools?

Would you please tell me more details about which part is incorrect? Or send me screenshot?
Then, I will check it.

Thanks!

This code
#primary-menu > ul > li a{color:#fff;}

is for the primary menu

What is the code to change the submenu colours?

thanks

[FocuxTheme Support]

You can try

#primary-menu ul ul li a {color:#fff;}

Yeap… it works! Thanks.
