 * Hello,
    when I try to Highlight on this page: [http://thebestunder.com/best-gaming-laptop-under-500/](http://thebestunder.com/best-gaming-laptop-under-500/)
 * It doesnt really work. The text gets another color but thats it.
 * In addition the Author is “white” so we can’t see the name due white text to 
   white background. So there seems to be some highlighting error/problem.
 * How to fix this?

 * Add the following code to the custom CSS of your child theme:
 *     ```
       ::selection {
       	background-color: #333!important;
       	color: #fff !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * Of course, you can change it to any color code you like.
    I recommend you to 
   [use a color palette.](https://color.adobe.com/nl/create/color-wheel/)

 * Still nothing changed, edited it on the same place as ol ::selection was, in 
   style.css .
    In addition, how to solve this hyperlink and author issue with, 
   the same, #fff white text color.

 * Well, it’s about the only way to do it so there must be something overriding 
   it.
    I can see that you’re not using a child theme. You can download it [here](https://github.com/AlxMedia/hueman-child/archive/master.zip)
   and change the stylesheet of your childtheme.
 * If you want to change the color of your website’s hyperlinks, you can use the
   following code to do that:
 *     ```
       a {
           color: #00ff00 !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * Like with highlighting, you can change the color to anything you like.
