The default text link appearance in Pilcrow theme is an underline with no color change. I would like to change this to a traditional medium blue with no underline. I found one CSS code suggestion in an old forum post, but it wouldn’t save or work for some reason.

An effective CSS code for insertion in custom design would be much appreciated.

Unfortunately no. The problem is peculiar to page content text links only, and the custom css code will not save.

But I sincerely appreciate the effort.

Nice avatar by the way.

Give this a try. You can edit the color code as you desire.
```
.entry-content a {
color: #1C9BDC;
text-decoration: none;
}
```
CSS is theme specific, so if the code you found was not specifically for Pilcrow, it would likely not work for you.

I managed to get the system to save this code. The result was to remove the underline without any change in color. Strange, since all the other link types on the site accept custom choice of blue.

Also, I’ve notice that some text I’ve cut and pasted from another site is showing up with its pre-existing blue link color intact. Very strange.

Never paste directly from other sources as it can bring in code that can mess up your site. On the lower row of icons in the editor, there is a “paste as plain text” button. Use that when pasting something in from the web.
