Support » Fixing WordPress » Trying to change link color – but nothing seems to work!

    I have been trying to solve a seemingly simple task – changing the color of links in the blog posts. But I am missing something – none of the many suggestions I have found work.

    It’s simple CSS ~ right?!

    I am stumped and hope someone can see what I’m missing.

    The theme is a child theme of the Undiscovered theme.

    Here is the site: http://www.erikawinters.com/jewelry-blog/

    Currently the links are just black.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated – TIA.

  • Can you find this line in the custom CSS?

    MAIN ARTICLE DIV.entry-content P A {
        color: #000 !important;
    }

    See the !important part, that is why no matter what you did this line overrides it. So if you can find this line you will be very happy. I changed the color to a nice carmine. #ef1573

    Try to find this css in the header.php or may be you can change it from admin panel>theme options.

    Try to change the color from there. Quite possible that this will work.

    Thanks for the input Stacy and Extech – but this is why it is stumping me. I could not find the css anywhere! I used Dreamweaver to crawl the entire site looking through ALL the code and it’s nowhere to be found… weird.

    So my solution was to put it in the Edit CSS to override the original code – wherever it is.

    Not the cleanest solution but what the heck. It works!
