change color of visited link

By Mike V, 9 years ago. Last reply by Greg Priday, 9 years ago.

Hi, i have funny problem. If you look at my site http://www.g-laptops.com/home/blog/
you can see more tag continue reading . If you hover over it it blinks orange to black and red. Also the color is red all the time
I found this code and if i change the color it will get rid of the orange or if i delete it it doesnt blink at all, color stays black and after reading annoying orange. here is the code

 }
.entry-content a:hover {
  color: #f47e3c;
} 

But this code doesnt realy bother me, it is that red color i cannot get rid of. I managed to know what hex color is that through firebug – #FF5B5B . This color is default of all hyperlinks on my website. I am changing them trhough visual so that’s ok.
I located that color through google chrome in my folder HOME/BLOG (index) but i have no idea how to find it or enter it to edit. I searched whole editor for that red color i found through firebug but i didn’t found it.
So i believe that color is somewhere else, but i have no idea how to get there and edit it to my desired color.
You can find it with firebug if you for example inspect any hyperlink. If i switch that color off in firebug it has that desired effect and look I want. I tried, now i need your help. I am using vantage premium.

    my desired color is that continue reading will be dark grey and if you hover over it it will be orange. I dont need to have different color for visited link. Just to be stable dark grey, and orange when i intereact with it :) . I used custom css for widgets and they work perfect. If i leave or delete them they dont influence the continue reading more tag.

    You cannot find #FF5B5B color because it is generated by script and put directly into page HTML content. Therefore you have to use !important option to override it.

    Try this in your CSS

    a.more-link:visited {
    color: darkgrey !important;
    }

    or

    .entry-content p a:visited {
    color: darkgrey !important;
    }

    it works for me in Chrome debugger.

    Hi yes it worked. :) You are great. Do you also have css to change color of moretag unvisited? because unvisited links looks soft grety. i tryied to put this coded and it workded but than when i hover over hyperlink it doesnt blink anymore, it is just darkgrey as i set my code

     a.more-link {
    color: #1A1A1A !important;
    }   

    also last question is it possible that morelink will blink only once. Because it blinks twice .. when you enter it and when you leave it :)
    Thank you

    Hi i figured out how to get rid of the red color. It was located in – appereance/customize and in live editor under general tab -CONTENT LINK COLOR. So my problem is solved. Last thing i would like to ask as i mentioned before is how can i fix that annoying double blink when i hover over my MORE TAG CONTINUE READING. I would like to be dark grey as it is now and when i hover over it will be soft orange #dd9933

    I think that’s all i need to fix and i will be fine. Thank you in advance

    I have no idea how to change double blinking because in my browser it changes color while hovered and turns back to normal after I withdraw mouse pointer. I cannot see double blink. I believe it is your browser behavior. What browser do you use?
