Make Headlines Link's Without Changing Font | WordPress.org

Hi,

When I wrap my headlines in the link HTML code the font changes and the letter becomes underlined with a separate line other then the one my theme displays.

Eyesopenreport.com

What I want to do is allow my visitors to click on the headlines of the articles on my front page, which will take them to the full article.

I don’t want to change the font of the text or format of my theme at all by doing this.

How can I make this happen?

Depending on how you’re wrapping your headlines – either with the <a href=...> tag outside of the <h2> tag or within it, you could try either

.article-layout h2 a {
your style rules here
}

or

.article-layout a h2 {
your style rules here
}

use rules like these to remove the underline:

text-decoration: none;

I don’t understand your direction. Should I enter text-decoration: none; in my css style sheet? What style rules? I just want the text to be linked and nothing else.

This would remove the underline:

.article-layout h2 a {
text-decoration: none;
}

I say ‘your style rules here’ because the link will typically also change the color of the link and maybe you don’t want that. If all you need to do is remove the underline, the above rule used with either class selection should work.

When I added that to my css style sheet the headline was still underlined (the text was underlined with the themes thick underline under it). I want the themes underline not the text. The text changed colors as well when it was clicked on.

I’m sorry for being a pain.

You are correct when you said I do not want it to change colors when clicked on.

I wrapped the headline like this..
