# wp_list_pages CSS

 * 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](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](https://wordpress.org/support/users/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.
