Sweeet.
I added a z-index and now it works perfectly.

Thank you!

Hi @Richard-K ,

thanks for this helpful line of code. I had the same issue but am still not able to fix the category filter above my menu. I added the

 z-index: 100 !important;

and but the filter is still behind the menu bar.

Could you please help me?

Thanks a lot,
Paul

Dear @paulstolle

Depending on your design needs,
You have a background colour set for your Navbar:

.navbar {
background-color: rgba(255,255,255,1);
}

Here with it removed we have all menu's visible:

settings can be altered in Customizing ▸ Menu Style >
Menu Bar

The font-size likely needs adjusting for your design as well

Talk soon :)

Thanks a lot, @Richard-K.

The only problem is that I need the white navbar. There will be more projects in future so while scrolling the fixed menu should be on top of a white background. How can I deal with that? Should I build a div block with white background and z-index to simulate the navbar and lay it between menu items and content?

I'm just wondering if thumbnail grid and grid filter are stack on the same layer so that I can't put the filter above the navbar … Do you know why the simple z-index is not working?

Would be happy to hear from you!

All the best,
Paul

Dear @paulstolle

Yes it is a bit odd...
Setting the z-index of the navigation also works but will likely slip behind the Grid then, (unless you place grid into 'negative' z-index)

.navbar{
z-index:0;
}

This also lets the Filter menu through - My thoughts are that the problem is related to how "background-color" operates in relation to z-index, but still not 100% sure.

Given the fixed nature of the Menus - a white <div> box is a quick solution and the navigation is basically that anyway:

<div class="navbar"></div>

If that solution works for you, im sure it will take less time that playing with z-indexes :)

Hope this has helped, apologies if not,

Sincerely
Richard

Hi @Richard-K

This z-index is driving me crazy … BUT, I finally found a way to solve my problem:

I built a link area with HTML on the bottom of each site. The menubar has to be nested inside of the div container, otherwise it would overlay everything else.

<div class="submenu site_menu">
    <ul>
        <li><a href="https://onzgi.com/exhibition/" class="_Submenu"><span>All</span></a></li>
    </ul>
    <div class="menubar"></div>
</div>

The main problem was the stacking context of my site. Therefore the z-index was not working as I aspected.

Maybe it's not the sexiest solution but it's definitely working well. Cheers.

All the best
Paul
