    HI
    I while ago i asked you how to change the button colour on the menu on my website http://www.meetthemanufacturer.co.uk to have an orange button with white lettering on it.

    You gave me the following code which worked perfectly:

    #menu-item-2491 a {
    color: white
    }
    #menu-item-2491 a:before {
    content: “”;
    position: absolute;
    background: #f24e08;
    height: 27px;
    width: 75px;
    top: 39%;
    right: -10px;
    z-index: -1;
    }

    However, since i have changed the colour of the rest of the menu to a different grey it has changed the colour of the font on the button to grey too and I don;t know why
    How do i get the button colour on the word REGISTER back to white?

    Thanks

    Hey makeitbritish!

    Thank you for coming back.

    The menu ID changed.

    Use the following code:

    
#menu-item-2752 a span{
color: white;
}

    Regards,
    Günter

    I thought that might be the case.
    So i don;t bother you with this enquiry in future, where do i find the menu item number?

    maybe because Günter forgot a semicolon :D
    one of the most common errors when programming / coding.

    Also if you use firefox, you can right click on an element and chose “inspect element”

    youll see a new area at the bottom showing the source code.

    if you inspect a menu item, you should see multiple lines starting with:

    <li id="menu-item-2477"

    if you mouse over each line, it will highlight the menu item. this way you can find the number.

    #menu-item-2752 a span{
color: white;
}

    also “color” is for font color. for the background color you use: “background-color”.

    Let me see if i can tinker some CSS for you.

    edit: re read your question and i first thought you want the background changed, shame on me.

    Here you go:

    #menu-item-2752 a span{
color: white !important;
}

    You can right click on Chrome or Firefox to inspect elements to find menu item ID’s http://i.imgur.com/HyPTCRg.jpg

    Hi Chaps
    Just picking this up after the Christmas break and have tried the code that was given by Flikk but still the wording is grey on that button.
    It turns white when you right click it though.
    Any more suggestions?
    Thanks
