  Hello,

  I want to change the color of the links and the “by “xxxxx”” color.

  It is currently light green. I want it to be blue. You can see what I mean here : https://fernweeh.com/portfolio/merzouga/

  And I want this throughout the whole site, not just one page.

  Does anyone know to change this?

  Thanks in advance,
  Fouad

  Hi there,

  Here’s the CSS code to change the color of the links:

  a, a:link {
      color: blue;
  }

  Here’s where and how to insert that code:

  Also, you can use the following chart to find the name of the blue hue you want to use:

  Let me know if there’s anything else I can do for you. I’m happy to help.

  thank you very much this worked. But there is another thing I noticed, if I were to post links in Portfolio posts, then the color stays green and does not change to blue.

  For example, in my post: https://fernweeh.com/merzouga/

  I have a link and it is still green.

  Hi there, I’m not seeing any green links on the page you referenced. Did you get this taken care of?

  Its weird. When I open it on a new private window, it is blue, but on a regular window, it is still green. Do you think I need to clear Cookies or something? How can I get rid of this, because it is not ideal to have something like this….It is not an issue now, but maybe it might be later in the future…

  Thanks in advance.

  Oh I see, you’ve got a visited color set to green. Try this CSS:

  a, a:link, a:visited {
  	color: blue;
  }

  You can also use a:active and a:hover to adjust link colors as you’d like.
