Link underline appearing since GP update

Hi there,

I just updated BookAnalysis.com to the latest update. Everything looks good, although I have noticed that my custom functionality (boxes to hover over) now shows text-decoration underlines for the title and author. It's the same for the authors page here.

Is there a reason this happened or a way this can be removed just for these two pages?

Kind regards,

Will

Hi there,

can you check in Customizer > General and make sure the Underline Links is set to Never.
This should remove any theme link underline styles.

I just had the same issue with underlines appearing suddenly after the latest GP update (theme and plugin).

I found out via browser tools that the underlining in my case came from a css-file in another plugin. Don't know why it suddenly came through.

Solved it quick and dirty by adding this to custom css in the customizer:

a:hover {
	text-decoration: none;
}

I've checked the customizer and it sets to never.

I currently have text decoration being an underline for link hovering, just that it has not and don't want it to appear for the homepage or authors page. Since the GP update, it's started appearing. Any idea of a fix for this?

I am not seeing it on either of those pages ?
Can you clear the browser caches and let me know.

Hmm, upon clearing all cache it still does not appear - can you try this link without the cache to see it?

I can see it with nocache... its coming from the bootstrap CSS:

GPs link underline changes are less specific, and perhaps we need to include an a:hover { } style in there

You can try overcoming it with:

.entry-content a:hover {
     text-decoration: none;
}

But you would have to consider where this occurring and make sure your custom underline styles are more specific.

Thanks for that. Really strange as even clearing the cache, it seems the front end looks fine - it's just when I'm logged in I see it.

I'll think I'll close this as nothing front end is broken - just confusing why it's appearing on my end when logged in since the GP update - thanks for the support as always anyway.

Glad to be of help
