I'm trying to make my navbar semitransparent on this code but I'm not able to do it:

 <nav class="navbar navbar-default navbar-fixed-top transparent" >
 <div class="container">
 <div class="container-fluid">
 <!-- Brand and toggle get grouped for better mobile display -->
 <div class="navbar-header">
   <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle collapsed" data-    toggle="collapse" data-target="#bs-example-navbar-collapse-1">
    <span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
    <span class="icon-bar"></span>
    <span class="icon-bar"></span>
    <span class="icon-bar"></span>
   </button>
   <a class="navbar-brand" href="/">brand</a>
  </div>

 <!-- Collect the nav links, forms, and other content for toggling -->
  <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="bs-example-navbar-collapse-1">
    <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
    <li class="active"><a href="/">Home <span class="sr-only">(current)</span></a></li>
    <li><a href="/searches">Searches</a></li>
    <li><a href="/contact">Contact</a></li>

   </ul>
   <form class="navbar-form navbar-left" role="search">
    <div class="form-group">
      <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Search">
     </div>
    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Submit</button>
    </form>
    <ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
     <li class="dropdown">
      <a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" role="button" aria-expanded="false">Legal <span class="caret"></span></a>
       <ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">
        <li><a href="/terms">Terms</a></li>
        <li><a href="/dmca">DMCA</a></li>
        <li><a href="/rta">RTA</a></li>
        <li class="divider"></li>
        <li><a href="/contact">Contact</a></li>

Try this in your code, it worked for me -

give an id to the nav

like this- 

<nav class="navbar navbar-default navbar-fixed-top transparent" id="nav1">

Then apply this in your css-

#nav1
{  
    background-color:#F00; /*whichever you want*/
    opacity: 0.5; 
    filter:(opacity=50);       
}

in your bootstrap.css find the navbar you are using, for example, if you're using the default navbar search for .navbar-default or .navbar-inverted as per your case and set the opacity simply using the CSS opacity command.

Did the job for me.

It would be nice to see the orginal CSS.
Paste the css code that shows the opacity.
The way I see your problem I think you did not write the path correct enough so it doesn't overwrite the original css from bootstrap.

<div id="wrapper">
    <div class="container">
        <div class="nav">
            <p>tessssssssssssssst</p>
         <div>
    </div>
</div>

#wrapper .container .nav{  
            background-color: red;
            opacity: 0.3;        
}

#wrapper .nav {
    opacity: 1.0;
}
