How can I create a unique menu item or apply a background color to a specific menu item using Divi?

To make a particular menu item unique or add a background color to it in Divi, you can follow these steps:

Method 1

1. Log into WordPress Admin: Log in to your WordPress admin panel.
2. Access Divi Theme Options: In the WordPress dashboard, go to “Divi” on the left-hand menu, then click on “Theme Options.”
3. Enable Custom CSS: In the Divi Theme Options, there should be a section called “Custom CSS.” Here you can add custom CSS code to style your menu item (Check Step 4). You’ll use CSS to target the specific menu item and apply the background color.
4. Identify the Menu Item: Inspect the HTML source of your menu to identify the class or ID associated with the menu item you want to style. To do this:
   • Right-click on the menu item in your browser.
   • Select “Inspect” or “Inspect Element.”
   • Look for the HTML code that corresponds to the menu item. It might look something like <li id="menu-item-123" class="menu-item">.
5. Write Custom CSS: Once you’ve identified the class or ID, you can write custom CSS code to style the menu item. For example, if your menu item has the ID “menu-item-123” and you want to give it a background color of blue, you can use the following CSS code:

   • #menu-item-123 {
     background-color: blue;
     }

6. Apply the CSS: Paste the custom CSS code into the “Custom CSS” section in Divi Theme Options.
