Below are some examples of CSS styles that can be copied to your style.css file to complete the styling of your WordPress menus. Be sure to edit the Menu #s. Colors and images can also be edited to match your website theme.

CSS Example #1

Our first example can be seen at www.RELV.com. Both the Top Menu (within the header.php) and the Main Menu (within the sidebar.php) use our WordPress Menu Creator.

You can change save and change the gradient images below and adjust the colors in the CSS to match. Important: Please note where the CSS refers to menu_8 to change to match YOUR menu number. In order to identify your Menu Number in your WordPress Dashboard go to the “WP Menu Manager” under “Tools”. Mouse over your Menu and read the ID number in your status bar at the bottom of the page.

Main Menu (Right Side)

This menu is NOT cascading (no child levels) so the CSS does not need to refer to the menu number and no images are used, only background colors. Additional styling for fonts, sizes, colors and weight can be added.

#rightmenu li {
}
#rightmenu li a {
	display:block;
	padding:3px 8px;
	background:#d8c7a9;
	width:244px;
}
#rightmenu li a:hover {
	background:#dfd0b1;
}
#rightmenu ul a {
	text-decoration:none;
}
