How do I change link colour without affecting headlines etc?

  • Add topic to favorites

  If I add links to titles within a post or page, it changes the colour to a default green which I hate.
  I’ve tried:

  .entry-content a {
  colour: xxx;
  }

  and variations of this but that also changes other links that I want to keep the same.

  I would also like to change link colour and hover colour in my widget areas.

  Thanks

  Howdy Dawn!

  Are you referring to mealsourkidslike.com? I don’t see any green links currently on that site, but I do see a link here:

  http://mealsourkidslike.com/about/

  You can change the color of that link with the following:

  .entry-content a {
    color: #000;
  }

  It looks like you used “colour” in your example. Can you give the code above a try? If that doesn’t accomplish what you’re looking for, could you link me to the specific section of your site where I can find the link?

  For widgets, the following should work:

  .widget-area a {
  color: black;
  }

  Please note, these codes are specific to the Forever theme currently on mealsourkidslike.com.

  Also, just a note, we recently published a pretty awesome guide here:

  Just in case you’re looking to learn more about CSS!

  It looks like you already have a CSS rule on that page that changes the links to green. You can find that rule under Appearance -> Customize -> CSS:

  .entry-content a {
  	color: green !important;
  	text-decoration: none;
  }

  You should be able to swap out “green” for the hex code you would like. Can you give that a try?

  thanks – I’ve been working on this so long I’d forgotten I’d put that in there. no wonder when I tried to enter another .entry-content a instruction it didn’t work.

  Thanks for the help – much appreciated.
