    Hello everyone!

    I’m trying to change the visited links color and I have no idea how, it changes to white but my background is white and every time I open a link it seems to disappear because it blends with the background, I want it to stay the same color as if I hadn’t clicked on it yet. I tried with this code:
    #page a:visited {
    color: #803042;
    }

    But it turns my header and footer menus to that color, as well as some buttons. I just want any link on my website to NOT change color after being visited.

    I used “inspect” to check on the element and there’s an index file that’s writing this code and is making all my visited links white:
    a:visited {
    color: white;
    }

    How can I change that file? I just cannot find a solution to this

    Next update: If i put the !important tag in the custom css code above it does override the white, but it’s the same problem as before, it also changes the color of a lot of things; the menu, footer, buttons and some of the wordpress toolbar links.

    Hi @ombligodeluna,

    Try to use entry-content class to target the link only inside the body content. Something like this should work

    .entry-content a:visited {
    color: ff0000;
}

    I hope it will help.

    Kind regards,
    Herman 😊

    Thank you @bsfherman
    Turns out there was something in the footer that was changing color and it overrode everything else since it was at the bottom, sneaky code.
