Okay. Got it!

you need to use Firebug. there you can just copy the top style for what you need to change into the child theme. then you will get the highest specificity. and also check in Firebug that the styles you added have taken command.

Specificity might be tricky, but with Firebug it's much easier.

Hey Roger,
it´s in the style.css child theme. But with no effect on the drop down of the wp menu.
I´ve set the classes in the wp menu to sf-menu. But still no effect. I´ve just need to change the background and hover colour of the menu entries in the drop down.

add the css to a child theme style.css, and it's easier to override with specificity. You can copy styles from firebug or the main style.css and modify.

Hello Roger,

I am bulding a website where I use the WPML Plugin. I having trouble with it so I had to built the navigation menu via the Wordpress menu. Now I am running into trouble cause I wld like to style the drop down. But I don´t know how and firebug was not a big help.

Normally I wld do this with this.

---
/* Superfish Dropdown Menu */
.sf-menu ul {
position:absolute;
margin-top:13px;
top:-999em;
width:11em; /* left offset of submenus need to match (see below) */
}

.sf-menu li li {
background-color: transparent;
position:relative;
margin-top:-3px;
border-left:0;
border-top:0;
}

.sf-menu li li:hover {
background-color:#990000;
margin-top:-3px;
}

---

But changes on that have no effect on my current menu. Do you have an advice for me?

Thanks in advance
A.
