    I don’t want want my hyperlinks to be underlines. Instead I want them to appear as a different colour only. After 2 hours of research, the answers I found were either outdated and/or too ambiguous to make sense of.

    How can I go about achieving hyperlinks that are a different colour and are NOT underlined?

    This depends on the theme you have selected. Some display the links with an underline, while others don’t.

    So I’m kind of at the mercy of the theme?

    So I selected a blank theme, and I see I have the option to edit the html code of hyperlinked texts. In that code I found the style attribute that sets the text to underlined, but even after editing or removing that style attribute, the hyperlink is still underlined.

    Since this is a blank theme, I’d imagine this would give me the freedom to customize hyperlink styles as I see fit? If so, how would I go about it given what I already tried above has failed?

    Disregard, I figured it out (simple mistake really). I was placing my style attribute style="text-decoration: none;" in the <p> tag instead of the tag. After doing the latter I was able to remove the underline
