I am trying to change my header background color, but it's not working

Hi there,

This is what you should see in Colors > Header when the Colors add-on is activated:

If that's not what you are seeing, can you disable all plugins except GP Premium to eliminate any unknown conflicts?

Let me know :)

HI Leo,

I deactivated all of my plugins and its still not working. It still only shows "Site Title" and nothing else.

Thanks

Hi there,

You're using your navigation as your header (https://docs.generatepress.com/article/navigation-as-a-header/), so the header colors won't show (as they won't work).

Instead, you can change the navigation background color.

Let me know if you need more info :)

Hi Tom,

Thanks for your reply. You are correct. I saw that I am using my navigation as a header. I have the generate press Marketer theme.

I followed your advice and it still doesn't work. It seems like there's a glitch here or something. Everytime I click on "backgrounds" to customize the background it doesn't provide me any options to do so. It just skips straight to "Background Images" with no option to change the color.

I click on 1) customize, 2) layout, 3) header ( the "use navigation as header" is checked)

Before that I see "more header controls" that have the options of "colors, typography, and backgrounds".

I click on the "background" option from under this menu "more header controls" and this is what takes me to "background images". so it looks like this (customizing>background images)

I don't know what else I can do to make this work besides uninstalling the theme and trying again.

Please let me know.

Thank you.

Hi Tom,
I finally figured it out. I went under colors and clicked "primary navigation" and was able to change the color from there. Thank you.

Glad you got it sorted :)
