    Hi. So, I wanted a page on my blog that featured an automatically-updating list of all the other pages. I added the wp_list_pages function to a page template (links.php – I’m using Sandbox 1.6.1), and posted a new page under that template, thereby generating my list. Success.

    Here’s my problem: I’m not pleased with the style (text colour, decoration, etc). I’ve read the function reference document http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_pages, and I’ve tried to modify the CSS, but I can’t get it to work.

    Can you generate the code for me to put in my CSS file? I’m wondering if I’m getting the formatting wrong or something. Specifically, I want to apply the following styles:

    a
    {
    color:black;
    text-decoration:none;
    line-height:150%;
    }
    a.bulletlist:visited
    {
    color:#666666;
    }
    a.bulletlist:hover,a.comp:active
    {
    text-decoration:underline;
    }

    Thank you!

    Just to be clear: I understand of course that putting the above code straight into the CSS file wouldn’t work! That is just the bare bones of the code I want to apply to my wp_list_pages.

    And of course forget the classes I use in the above code – I just forgot to take them out. (Sorry about the 3 posts!) Here’s the real bare bones:

    a
    {
    color:black;
    text-decoration:none;
    line-height:150%;
    }
    a:visited
    {
    color:#666666;
    }
    a:hover,a:active
    {
    text-decoration:underline;
    }

    the result of css always depends on the css ids and classes of the surrounding html tags; there might alredy be some styles that are more specific than what you are trying to do –
    therefore a link to the page of your site showing the list might get you more help.

    general, so not all links in the site are affected, i would try at least:
    .page_item a { ... }
    and so on…

    I’ve just posted this elsewhere but I think Firebug for Firefox will help a lot 🙂

    @alchymyth That’s it, that’s all I needed, thank you. I knew I was just getting something a little wrong – I had tried this already, to no effect, so perhaps I was making a typo or something silly. Anyway thank you for your answer, really. I find people are often unwilling to give general answers without looking at the page in question. I really appreciate your help.
