Changing URL Color Globally
7 replies · Started by enviedbymost on September 17, 2017
Hey,
Sorry for the nooby CSS question.
I've been provided with some CSS to amend the colour of the URLs globally. I'm using a brownish color scheme, and the default dark blue doesn't work very well... lol.
I inserted the code into the customizer > Additional CSS but it doesn't seem to be working. The change saved successfully, but the links are still showing as blue throughout the site. I tried clearing my cache too.
Any ideas why this may be please?
Code below! Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, thanksss
a:link {
color: #34262c;
background-color: transparent;
text-decoration: underline;
}
a:visited {
color: #f8f6f4;
background-color: transparent;
text-decoration: underline;
}
a:hover {
color: #f8f6f4;
background-color: transparent;
text-decoration: underline;
}
a:active {
color: #edeec0;
background-color: transparent;
text-decoration: underline;
}
Hi Jamie,
What about customizer options in Colors > Content > Link?
Let me know if that works.
Ahhhh sweeeeet, I never knew those settings existed!
Time for me to refresh my memory on all the customiser options.
Thanks a lot, Leo!
No problem!
Hey Leo,
Is there a way to override the configuration set in Colors > Content > Link for specific pages?
I tried using the CSS in the previous post, but the URL color is not changing; presumably because of the theme settings.
Perhaps a bad decision on my part, but because multiple pages of my site vary in colour, the URLs aren't accessible on a few of these configurations.
Doh!
Look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers, Jamie.
If you use Tom's Simple CSS plugin, it gives you a CSS metabox on each page, then you can use the same CSS above.

Let me know if this helps.
One last comment (hopefully! haha) on the subject.
Is there a setting within the theme that sets the URL to be underlined by default, or would I need to add this manually via the global additional CSS?
Thankssss
