  I have the custom design upgrade and would like to change the way the links are formatted within Elemin posts. I would like the font color to be the same as the surrounding text and the link to be indicated with a dotted underline. I’ve looked through the CSS code for the theme but can’t figure out which element controls the link appearance.

  My blog is Our Polity (http://susanbarsy.com).

  I appreciate your help.
  Thank you,
  SB

  Give this a try:

  .entry-content a {
  	color: #000;
  	text-decoration: none;
  	border-bottom: 1px dotted #000;
  }

  The “.entry-content” part makes it so the rule only affects links inside post or page content areas.

  Thanks. This worked, but I didn’t use it because it didn’t have the effect I wanted. Thanks though. SB

  You said you wanted link font color to be the same as the surrounding text and have a dotted underline. Did you want something different than that?

  That’s exactly what I thought I wanted, but then I didn’t like the effect when I tried it (which is not a fault of the code :) ).

  Now that I have the sample code you sent me, I know enough CSS to modify the link appearance in the posts however I want. Eventually I will figure out what looks best and change it.

  As far as I’m concerned this matter is resolved.
  Thanks again!
