[Resolved] Cannot underline links

[George]

I changed the link color, however the links are not underlined. I read in another post that I should add this CSS: a,
a:visited {
text-decoration: underline;
}
I tried it but it doesn’t work. This is a regular page, no page builder involved. How can I underline the links in posts and pages?

[Tom]

Try this:

a, a:visited, a:hover {
    text-decoration: underline;
}

Unfortunately this doesn’t work either.

[Tom]

Can you link me to the site?

Your CSS is broken. You need to close the block for your blockquote with a curly bracket: }

[George]

This is how I have it in my Simple CSS: a, a:visited, a:hover {
text-decoration: underline;
}

I also have this code in there to get rid of the post dates, but this doesn’t work either:
.comment-meta {
display: none;
}

So from what I can see, the CSS is not broken.

[Tom]

Your blockquote CSS has an opening {, but no closing }.

Aha, thanks, I had missed that. Now the underline is working. However now the post titles are underlined as well:

What can I do so that only the links in the post body are underlined?

Another question: Is there a way to only get rid of the post date, but not of the name of the poster. The CSS that I have gets rid of everything, but I just want to eliminate the post date:
.comment-meta {
display: none;
}

My second question is if there is a setting to eliminate the previous and next post links at the bottom of a post, or do I need CSS for that?

By default WordPress excerpt strips all HTML so the links underline won’t work unless you use the more tag: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/using-the-more-tag/

You can try this to underline the content only:

.site-content a,
.site-content a:visited,
.site-content a:hover {
    text-decoration: underline;
}

Date can be removed using the customizer already: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/blog-overview/#blog-content

Post navigation will be an option in the upcoming GP premium. For now try this CSS:

.post-navigation {
    display: none;
}

Let me know.

The underlining works with this code, but still all the post titles are underlined as well when I click on the “Blog” link in the main menu. That’s before I ever open a post and click on the ‘more’ tag.

If there is no solution for this issue, could this code be modified so that the underline only happens on hover?

[Leo]

Actually try this with more tag:

.entry-content a,
.entry-content a:visited,
.entry-content a:hover {
    text-decoration: underline;
}

Let me know.

[George]

This one works, thank you!

[Leo]

No problem!
