# override display:block

 * LS,
    I created a child theme, which works fine. I have one problem though. In
   the parrent theme (attitude), the read more link is a botton (display:inline-
   block). I want this link to be text. So, how do I override display:inline-block
   in my child theme? When I delete this in the parrent theme (as a test), the button
   is gone but the text link is still there. Just the way I want it. Display:none
   is no option, because I do want the link, but not the button. Hope someone can
   help me.
 * Regards,
    Bas

 * Hi, I don’t think you need to overwrite display:inline-block. Try adding the 
   following code your child themes style.css file:
 *     ```
       a.readmore {
       color: #777;
       background: none;
       border: none
       }
       a.readmore:active {
       -webkit-box-shadow: none;
       -moz-box-shadow: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * Hope that helps,

 * Yeah, perfect. I also added background:none to a.readmore:hover.
    Thank you!!
