im having the problem of the menu on my WordPress website appearing behind the content on multiple pages. iv been looking online for a solution and iv looked at the z-index and have been using different values to apply but still no luck.

i would appreciate any help at all

Answer 1

Add a positive z-index to the #main-navigation > .sf-menu > ul class, will make the dropdown menu appear in front of the page content.

#main-navigation > .sf-menu > ul {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    width: 100%;
    max-height: 0;
    max-width: 16em;
    overflow: hidden;
    background: #333;
}

would become

#main-navigation > .sf-menu > ul {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    width: 100%;
    max-height: 0;
    max-width: 16em;
    overflow: hidden;
    background: #333;
    z-index: 999;
}
