Hey there - I style my links using this code:

/* Hyperlinks */
body:not(.blog):not(.archive):not(.search) .inside-article a 
{
  background: linear-gradient(180deg,rgba(255,255,255,0) 50%, #FFFF00 50%);
}

I have some text which includes a link added as an Element Hook inserted underneath all my posts.

How do I style the link so it appears like the rest of my site?

Example: https://robinharford.com/write-anywhere/

TIA

Hi there,

maybe the lack of coffee but the only 'unstyled' links i can see is the menu items in the footer .. what am i missing ?

Sorry about that, David - I was tinkering with the site.
If you scroll to the bottom here:
https://robinharford.com/zagging/

You'll see the sentence:
My newsletter teaches you how to sell more books - click here.

'Click here' is unstyled. How do I make it look like the other links in the body of that page? They are highlighted yellow.

Which hook are you using ?
If you use the after_content hook that would place it within the inside-article container. And your CSS should apply to it to.

That did it. I had it in after_main_content.

Thanks for that, David.

Glad to be of help

Hey there -

1). How would I make the styling apply to my footer links?

2). Also when I create a button using Generateblocks and link it, the button disappears and the yellow styling shows instead. How do I stop this from happening?

TIA

1. You can include .copyright-bar a in your CSS selector.

So this:

body:not(.blog):not(.archive):not(.search) .inside-article a {

becomes:

body:not(.blog):not(.archive):not(.search) .inside-article a, 
.copyright-bar a {

2. Can i see an example ?

Use this selector in your CSS:

body:not(.blog):not(.archive):not(.search) .inside-article a:not(.gb-button), 
.copyright-bar a {

That worked. Many thanks, David. Appreciate it.

You're welcome
