  Is there a way to add underlines to blog post links without upgrading to a Pro plan?

  I am using the Bennett theme for a WordPress.com hosted blog. The default link style on single posts has no underline, making links effectively invisible unless you hover over their text. (See “2400” and “24XX” instances in the first paragraph of this post, for instance.)

  I know how to fix this with CSS if I upgrade to a Pro plan, but I don’t see a way to do it in the interface. I see that the “Styles” editor (in beta) lets me change link color and weight for specific blocks, so I will do one of those just so links aren’t entirely invisible in the meantime, but I’m hoping somebody might have advice on how to control underline appearance.

  Thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hey @jasontocci, you’re right – I hadn’t noticed that option was missing and can only be defined by the theme’s CSS currently.

  I’ve filed an issue here if you want to follow along, otherwise we can let you know when we hear back:
