A lot of it depends on how your theme is set up, but here’s a general overview:<\/p>\n

1. Ensure that you are using the body_class()<\/a> function<\/h2>\n

Check you theme’s header.php<\/code> and ensure the body<\/code> tag looks something like: <\/p>\n

<body <?php body_class(); ?>>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
This will automatically add a bunch of classes to your body tag, including classes depending on which category archive page you are viewing.<\/p>\n
2. Use a filter to add category classes to single posts<\/h2>\n
Insert the following function into your theme’s functions.php<\/code> file:<\/p>\n
function my_body_class_add_categories( $classes ) {\n\n    \/\/ Only proceed if we're on a single post page\n    if ( !is_single() )\n    return $classes;\n\n    \/\/ Get the categories that are assigned to this post\n    $post_categories = get_the_category();\n\n    \/\/ Loop over each category in the $categories array\n    foreach( $post_categories as $current_category ) {\n\n        \/\/ Add the current category's slug to the $body_classes array\n        $classes[] = 'category-' . $current_category->slug;\n\n    }\n\n    \/\/ Finally, return the $body_classes array\n    return $classes;\n}\nadd_filter( 'body_class', 'my_body_class_add_categories' );\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
This will also add the category classes to single posts.<\/p>\n
3. Add classes for pages<\/h2>\n
The body_class()<\/code> function can also be filtered to add classes for page slugs. Add the following to functions.php<\/code>:<\/p>\n
function my_body_class_add_page_slug( $classes ) {\n\n    global $post;\n\n    if ( isset( $post ) ) {\n        $classes[] = $post->post_type . '-' . $post->post_name;\n    }\n\n    return $classes;\n\n   }\n   add_filter( 'body_class', 'my_body_class_add_page_slug' );\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
This will add the class page-title<\/code> to the body.<\/p>\n
4. Style as you please<\/h2>\n
This will vary according to your theme’s markup, but it will be along the lines<\/strong> of:<\/p>\n
.td-header-main-menu {\n    background: blue; \/\/ The fallback colour for all pages\n}\n\n.category-showbiz .td-header-main-menu {\n    background: red;\n}\n\n.category-sport .td-header-main-menu {\n    background: yellow;\n}\n\n.category-shendetsi .td-header-main-menu,\n.page-shendetsi .td-header-main-menu {\n    background: green;\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Conclusion<\/h2>\n
That should give you the general idea; we can’t give you more specific instructions without seeing the website itself or know which theme you’re using.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
