Remove hyperlink underlinings in Twenty Twelve Child

  • Using a child of twenty twelve right now. Have made a number of edits to the page already, but I can’t seem to do something so simple as removing the underlining from the hyper-links on my page. From what I understand, all that I need to do to remove the hyper-links is to edit the following CSS code in style.css:

    }
    .comments-area article header cite a:hover {
    text-decoration: underline;

    to

    }
    .comments-area article header cite a:hover {
    text-decoration: none;

    So far, I have completely replaced the CSS file, pushed the edits through both on the FTP Client and pushed them through the Editor as well (I know it’s not the best idea). I’ve even called up the hosting service to see if there was a caching issue, refreshed the cache on my own browser, looked at the page on difference machines, etc. Something that seems so simple is proving so difficult. Any help at all would be appreciated.

    Even if I can switch the underlinings to boldenings, I wouldn’t mind. Just don’t like the underlinings — personal preference.

    Thanks.

  • Just judging from the CSS snippets you posted, you’re missing the end bracket (}). If that doesn’t work, can you post a link to your website?

    The bottom brackets are there, I just forgot to post them in the forum post. The Web site is as follows. https://harpagonpress.com/

    Thanks.

    You’re using an extremely specific CSS rule when it doesn’t appear to be necessary. In your child theme, try:

    a {
text-decoration: none;
}

a:hover {
text-decoration: none;
}

    All text decorations are set to none. Are you suggesting that I add this to whatever CSS I already have? Thanks.

    Please think very carefully about removing all link text underlining. Some disabled user groups rely heavily on this underlining to distinguish links from plain text. Depending upon your country’s anti-discrimination legislation, this could place your site on the wrong side of the law,.

    Thanks, esmi. I’ll bear that in mind. But has anyone figured out a solution to this? I’m stumped.

    Seems to have worked all of a sudden. Strange! Thanks all.
