Try using Firefox with the Firebug add-on for this kind of CSS troubleshooting. Or use whatever developer tool is available in your web browser.
While good advice for a normal person, it is beyond me. Downloaded the Add On and I have been playing around with it but I am unable to see how I am able to affect ALL my posts and pages.
All I need is this color (e31b22)to replace the current color (666666) for the body of all pages and posts. I can do this but not without affecting the color of other elements (such as tags and comments), so that’s where I’ve been hung up on for a week.
🙁
You can target CSS to a specific area by changing the selector you are using. Learning basic CSS is not hard – and will be well-worth your time/effort.
That said, where is an example of what you want to change?
This post has lots of hyperlinks: http://www.withoutagym.net/start-here/
And I’ll work on it 🙂
Try:
#container #content a, #container #content a:link, #container #content a:visited {
color: #xxxxxx;
}
Above code EDITED – missed syntax on first post.
It worked but it changes all the other hyperlinks (name, categories,tags) that I dont want changed.
example: http://www.withoutagym.net/surviving-an-obstacle-course/
Oh sorry, see if adding this works:
.postauthor p a,
.postauthor p a:link,
.postauthor p a:visited,
.postmeta p a,
.postmeta p a:link,
.postmeta p a:visited,
{
color: #999999;
}
Change the above to what color you want those name/categories/tags
I get an unexpected token at the first “{ ”
Where are you adding this CSS? It should go in a custom CSS option or a child theme.
When I paste it into editor an X comes up at the line with the first ‘{‘
Saved it but I dont think any changes took hold.
Try removing the comma before that bracket:
.postmeta p a:visited,
{
Adding it to Appearance > Edit CSS (“CSS STylesheet Editor”)
Yep, that’s cool – that’s JetPack’s custom CSS.
K. error went away but code had no effect on links.
