    It looks like you use the Jetpack plugin, using the custom css part of that add the following code. Change color to your liking.

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

    Thanks! Should I just add it in the very bottom?

    Also, why should I do this in Jetpack and not in the regular template stylesheet?

    The regular stylesheet will be over-written if the theme is updated, thereby loosing all customization made the file.

    That resulted in a “fatal error” and deactivated the plugin.
    Is there another option?

    Just to be sure, did you add the CSS to the Jetpack CSS editor under Appearnance > Edit CSS, as seen in this screenshot:

    CSS Test Site WordPress 1

    You didn’t edit the Jetpack plugin files themselves, right?

    Other options include installing a standalone custom CSS plugin, or creating a child theme.

    Hi Kathryn,

    batharoy’s instruction was a bit confusing (CSS is also not my forte) so I did edit the Jetpack plugin itself.

    But your instruction worked! Thank you 🙂

    Great, glad you’re set. 🙂 I’m marking this post as resolved.
