Actually Rab – thanks but I’ve just realised that your solution just changes the visited link to black so there is no colour change when I hover over a visited link. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Link colour remaining in active state](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/link-colour-remaining-in-active-state/) * Thread Starter [docransom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/docransom/) * (@docransom) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/link-colour-remaining-in-active-state/page/3/#post-3298013) * Hi Esmi – Just need to think for a second * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Link colour remaining in active state](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/link-colour-remaining-in-active-state/) * Thread Starter [docransom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/docransom/) * (@docransom) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/link-colour-remaining-in-active-state/page/3/#post-3298011) * Brilliant – Rab’s code seems to have worked!!!! * Thank you everyone! * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Link colour remaining in active state](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/link-colour-remaining-in-active-state/) * Thread Starter [docransom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/docransom/) * (@docransom) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/link-colour-remaining-in-active-state/page/3/#post-3298009) * hi Rab – should I delete what Andrew and Esmi suggested and put yours in? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Link colour remaining in active state](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/link-colour-remaining-in-active-state/) * Thread Starter [docransom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/docransom/) * (@docransom) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/link-colour-remaining-in-active-state/page/3/#post-3298007) * Hi Esmi, * I have added it through the Jetpack custom CSS editor – not sure if that is actually working or not – if not I could add it through the css editor but to be honest I am not sure where I should place it. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Link colour remaining in active state](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/link-colour-remaining-in-active-state/) * Thread Starter [docransom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/docransom/) * (@docransom) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/link-colour-remaining-in-active-state/page/3/#post-3298006) * Let me just restate my problem – I don’t want you guys to waste your time if I wasn’t clear at the beginning. * Each blog post title is a link to the blog post itself. Its initial state is black text after clicking the title, following the link to the blog post and then returning to the home page the blog post title of the clicked link is a blue colour. * Should that be the case? It’s as though it has a ‘visited’ state. I would prefer it to show it’s initial black state. * Hope that’s clear. I really appreciate you helping. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Link colour remaining in active state](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/link-colour-remaining-in-active-state/) * Thread Starter [docransom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/docransom/) * (@docransom) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/link-colour-remaining-in-active-state/page/2/#post-3298002) * Hi Esme – isn’t that the same code that Andrew suggested?
