    Theme: Black Splat WR

    The links in my posts are supposed to change color when hovered but they do not. (Note that these post links are supposed to stay underlined and do, which differs from how I made other links in my blog such as tags, categories, etc..)

    (I’m only referring to the links in the main content of my posts. The rest of the links in the blog – tags, categories, comments, etc. – perform just how they should. To understand this and why my css looks as it does, you may wish to read this thread.)

    FYI I Never had this problem with post links not changing color. It happened after I did the following. After researching how to make a highlighted link, I put some code in to try and didn’t like the result. So I abandoned that idea and then took out all of the highlighting code I just added. Triple checked that I took it all out AND ONLY that, so that the code returned to the same as it originally was. Now my link doesn’t change color! (The Black Splat Theme has some highlight code somewhere, too, which was always there and never caused a problem, so that was left since it was the original code.)

    Can somebody check my css to see why this is happening, or if there is another reason. The post is plain and simple, with ordinary links, nothing different than usual.

    This takes you to the website URL

Because I cannot erase this post, I will post a reply stating when materials are uploaded that and not intended to be accessed through this forum.

    Try adding something like:

    #content p a:hover {
color:#c00;
}

    to the bottom of style.css.

    you forgot to close one of the comments in the style.css properly:

    #content p a {
  color: #983503;
  font-weight: bold;
  text-decoration: underline;
}                            /*links in text of post*/

    please put the / after post*

    small cause with big effect 😉

    Thanks esmi and alchymyth! I must have unwittingly chopped off the / when I took out the code I tested. Then I focused so hard and long at checking the code, I forgot to look at the notes to myself in the code /*like this*/. I will definitely remember that those are part of the code, too. Have a wonderful new year to you both.
