Hi there, trying to figure out why links in my posts do not show any variation from the regular text. How can I fix this so that at least when people hover over they know it’s a link? Preferably I’d like the links in the text to be pink like they are in other places!
My site is https://babytalk.life, a post example would be https://babytalk.life/is-giving-birth-naturally-painful/
Thanks so much!
Hanna
Hi Hanna
Thanks for posting.
Please, see the Accent Color setting at CustomizeTheme SettingsBranding. The link color is tied to that setting.
Page: Branding
Hope that helps :)
Thanks so much for your reply.
I have already set the colours I want in the Branding section. It doesn’t change the links though in the body of the posts. They do show up for other links though.
Anything else I could try?
Thanks again!
Hanna
Hi Hanna :)
In this post: https://babytalk.life/is-giving-birth-naturally-painful/ are there any links you’d like me to take a look at? I’m not seeing any in the post body. The following items aren’t styled with the link accent color:
Post author link
Related posts links
Footer links
Here is an example post from the demo: https://demo.siteorigin.com/unwind/dream-drive/
If you can point me to the link you’d like changed, I can let you know whether you’re seeing an expected outcome or if it’s a bug of sorts.
To jump ahead, if you want to change link color that isn’t normally styled with the branding accent color, you could try our SiteOrigin Custom CSS plugin which has a visual editor: Page: SiteOrigin CSS Editor. See the FAQ for how to change pages in the CSS visual editor: Page: FAQ.
We can assist with small CSS changes within our premium support scope. Unfortunately, our free support scope is a little limited which is why I suggest the above plugin option assuming the link isn’t normally styled with the accent color.
Hi Andrew, thanks for the quick reply,
Do you know why the Post Author, Related Posts and Foot links aren't styled? I didn't change anything.
Also, there is a link at the bottom of the post "right here on Babytalk!
<https://babytalk.life/category/birth-stories-with-babytalk/>" (There are many more than that, I just wanted to point out how you cannot tell it's a link at all!)
Until I hear from you I'll try out the custom CSS plugin.
Thank you so much!
Sorry Andrew, disregard the first part of my post, I understand now that they are not styled in the theme, that's fine!
Hi Hanna
Please, take a look at your plugin Easy Google Font Styles. That plugin is outputting:
.entry-header a,.entry-title a,.hentry,.hentry a,.summary-title a,.summary-title,.summary-heading a,.summary-heading,.blog-title a,.blog-title { color: #000000; }That rule is the issue, specifically
hentry a.Thank so much! That did the trick!
Super, glad that helped :)
