Read Theme: Want to Change Link Color [But Only Within Blog Posts]

Hi Lucas,

Go to customizer > colors > content > link, you can set the colors there.

Let me know if that works for you.

Ying,

Thanks!

When I do that, though, I run into the same issues as before ...

ALL links (including those on the homepage) change color.

Only wanting to change the color of links on blog posts - nothing else.

Thoughts?

Warmly,

L.

I see, then try this CSS:

.single-post .entry-content a {
    color: var(--accent);
}
.single-post .entry-content a:hover {
    color: var(--contrast-2);
}

You can add it to customizer > additional CSS :)

Ying,

Thanks for getting back to me!

This is embarrassing to admit, but I'm not entirely certain where to to include the CSS ...

Or HOW to include the CSS, if that makes sense ...

Again, incredibly new to all of this.

Also, within the CSS you've provided, where do insert the name for the colors I'd like for the links / hover links?

I'm sure this is frustrating, but again - your patience is appreciated :)

Thanks, Ying!

Warmly,

L.

Hi Lucas,

With regards to adding CSS here is an article you may refer to: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-css/

Specifically, you may add Ying’s CSS by going to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS.

As for the colors in the code Ying provided, var(--accent) and var(--contrast-2), they are Global colors located in Appearance > Customize > Colors.

See this for reference: https://share.getcloudapp.com/E0uoOD6P

If you click on a specific color, you will see the color variable name. You may also add your own Global colors and set the variable name of the ones in Ying’s code to the variable name of the new colors.

See: https://share.getcloudapp.com/wbuYqRyy

Lastly, you may also hardcode the colors by doing something like:

.single-post .entry-content a {
    color: #33ff77;
}
.single-post .entry-content a:hover {
    color: #009933;
}

Here is a link to an online color picker: https://www.w3schools.com/colors/colors_picker.asp

Hope this helps! :)

Fernando,

Great!

This should help.

What does it mean to "hardcore" the colors?

Warmly,

L.

Fernando said "hard code" and "hardcore".

Hard code means manually coded.

Thanks!

No problem :)

Thanks!

Got it all sorted - this was perfect :)
