Hi,

it's a CSS z-index issue. Try placing these rules in your style.css:

#wrapper {
position: relative;
z-index: 999;
}
#header-wrap {
z-index: 9999;
position: relative;
}

Yes, Kailey is right, this would also work:

#main-nav-wrapper {
z-index: 61;
}


It's somewhere around line 239 in <em>style.css</em> and it's currently set at <em>z-index: 10</em>.

I'd change #main-nav-wrapper's z-index to 61, just above the slider's z-index.

Hi

Try setting z-index:1; ..your style.css and about line 458 see below

#slider { height: 336px; z-index: 1;}

Good luck

You will need to edit your CSS:

You're Nivo slider has the following attributes associated with it:

#slider .nivo-controlNav {
background: url("img/slider-nav-bg.png") repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
bottom: 56px;
padding: 20px 0 14px 20px;
position: absolute;
width: 589px;
z-index: 9999;
}

You have a css file inside of your plugin folder / dropdown-menu-widget / shailan-dropdown.css

(http://scoopituptournament.com/development/wp-content/plugins/dropdown-menu-widget/css/shailan-dropdown.css)

This file looks like the Z-index is lower than the nivo slider ( #slider .nivo-controlNav )


/* Z-index */
ul.dropdown, ul.dropdown li, ul.dropdown ul li, ul.dropdown li.hover, ul.dropdown li:hover { position: relative; }
ul.dropdown li { /*z-index: 598;*/ }
ul.dropdown ul { position:absolute; z-index: 597; }
ul.dropdown ul li { z-index: 598; }

Make sure the z-index for the drop down is a higher value than the z-index for the nivo settings
