  Hi,

  I’d like change the colour of a link after it has been clicked on. At the moment when the mouse hovers over a link it changes colour (from red to grey), but after the link has been clicked on, the colour goes back to the original red – so there’s no way of telling if the link has been clicked on before.

  I’m using the Confit theme, website is http://celinejeanjean.com if that helps.

  Thanks!

  Celine

  Hi Celine,

  You can change this if you edit CSS. Please go to Appearance > Customize > CSS and remove the informational content. Then, try adding this:

  a:visited {
  	color: CSS COLOR VALUE;
  }

  Here’s a list of sample CSS Color Values that you can put in. An example of what this should look like is this:

  a:visited {
  	color: #000080;
  }

  Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
