I am trying to install a custom menu in my Wordpress theme. I have successfully enabled the feature and embedded the menu in my layout, the only issue is that the CSS is not working for the menu.
I had a custom CSS called NAV and I also tried just copying and pasting the CSS from the Twenty Eleven them into my CSS (which is called access). But no matter what I do, the navigation style doesn't change. I'm starting to think it might be my embed code. Here it is:
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'sort_column' => 'menu_order', 'container_class' => 'access', 'menu_class' => 'access' ) ); ?>
Here is the HTML that is generated:
<div class="access">
<ul id="menu-home" class="access">
<li id="menu-item-10" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-10"><a href="http://www.studentbridges.org/new/sample-page/">About Us</a>
<ul class="sub-menu">
<li id="menu-item-11" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-11"><a href="http://www.studentbridges.org/new/sample-page/history/">History</a>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
And here is the relevant CSS:
#access {

background: -o-linear-gradient(#252525, #0a0a0a);
