Simply cannot find location of inline style : (

    The blog in question is http://lisabruce.com/blog/

    I’m fairly handy with this stuff but I’m pulling my hair out trying to find where an inline style is written so I can change link colors. I’ve searched every page in the theme and do not see it. If you open the home page and view source you’ll see:
    ————————————————————————————–
    #page {
    border-color: #f2d7c2;
    }
    #main-title #site-title a:hover,
    .post-title h1,
    .post-title h1 a,
    .post-extras .post-edit-link,
    .post-entry a,
    .post-entry .more-link:hover,
    #author-description a,
    .more-posts .page-title em,
    #more-posts-inner a:hover,
    #comments li a:hover,
    .comment-text p a,
    .comment-text .reply-link a:hover,
    #comments li.byuser .comment-author,
    #comments #respond h3,
    .sidebar-widget a:active,
    #calendar_wrap table td a,
    #nav-below a:active,
    #error404 a:hover,
    #menu .current-menu-item > a,
    #menu .current_page_item > a,
    #comment-nav-above a,
    #comment-nav-below a,
    .comment-text table a {
    color: #da9661;
    }
    ————————————————————————————–

    I wonder if someone can help locate where this little bugger is in the Chateau theme files?

    That’s NOT a free hosted WordPress.COM blog and we do not provide support for it here. You are posting to the wrong support forum.

    WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate, have different log-ins and run different versions of themes with same names. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    We provide support only for free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and not for WordPress.org software installs. If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.

    Hi, I took a quick look at your site, and I would suggest either creating a child theme (so that your changes are not overwritten by an upgrade later) or using the Jetpack plugin which has a CSS editor built into it that will keep your CSS changes safe. If you add the above to the end of the CSS and then include the !important attribute on the color declaration, it will change a good deal of the links in your site to your chosen color.

    color: #da9661 !important;

    For the future, if you post your Chateau related questions in the WordPress.org Themes and Templates forum, and tag it with wpcom-themes, our Theme Happiness Engineer will be around to help you with it.

    Thanks very much for the help and solid advice. Will do. Also, I added that CSS to the styles.css but did not have any luck with getting the link colors to change. What I did just do is find the php that injected the inline style into the head and comment out the part affecting post links, which works, they are now back under control in the css editor.
