Dear SiteOrigin visitors or staff.

I am breaking my head on this for a few hours now, I hope you can help me out.

Currently, my theme only changes the colors of the links when I hover my mouse on it.
I want the links to my content. (pages & posts) to be colored.

I have been trying many codes, but the only code that eventually takes effect is

a: visited {
    color: ###FFF680;
}

This is strange since it affects every link on my site. Even my navigation menu. And the links in the content are not even visited. Applying this code also removes the original hover code, (that is working without any changes)

I have tried changing this in my theme style editor, but any changes there are not taking any effect. Only codes that I put in CSS widget editor does.

I’d be very grateful.

    Hi Raven

    Thanks for reaching out.

    Our free support scope covers basic usage and troubleshooting, unfortunately, we’re unable to assist with Custom CSS here on the forums. If you’re using SiteOrigin Premium, we’re able to assist with small customizations and more technical questions as the budget allows it. Have you tried reaching out to theme support? Usually, they’d be in the best position to assist with a change of this nature. Alternatively, you could give our CSS plugin a try Page: SiteOrigin CSS Editor.

    See https://imgur.com/a/SKYaWXv. You’re looking to set a link color for a as well as a:hover. To prevent this global rule from impacting the menu the link rule should be prefixed with the content area body class. For example:

    .site-content a {
}

.site-content a:hover {
}

    If theme support can’t help, consider trying SiteOrigin CSS and or SiteOrigin Premium for in-depth email support.

    Hi Andrew,

    Thank you for your suggestion, sadly I failed after hours trying the method you mentioned.
    I decided to ditch the theme, as I had several issues and went to SiteOrigin Origami.

    I also went premium. As I´m very fond of the services & add-ons.

    Thank you for your assistance,

    ~Raven
