Change link color??

  • Hi,
    i know this issue has been raised several times before, but bare with me.

    My links are standard blue/purple and i want them to be grey. I’ve searced through all css and php but cant find it anywhere. In the editor-style.css there is a section like this:

    /* Links */
    a,
    a em,
    a strong {
    color: #26ADE4;
    }
    a:focus,
    a:active,
    a:hover {
    color: #1E8DAF;

    but that changes nothing on my menu-links.
    I have to admit that I have put two themes together (long story) but surely there still has to be a way to control the link color?

    the site is temporarily up at dev.vidastockholm.com

    Help, please?

    Victoria

    You should be adding CSS changes to a Child Theme stylesheet or a Custom CSS plugin.

    You also have an issue with CSS specificity. Your CSS selectors need to be more specific.

    errr….yea, i’m not a wordpress wiz as you probably realise ?? have no idea what all that means…

    I know that i’ll have to redo the page properly soon, but as for now i’d just like to change the link colors so i can publish it. Is there any way of doing that or is it too messed up?

    editor-style.css does what the name suggests – it styles the post/page text editor window.

    try using a browser inspection tool to investigate where the formatting for the links comes from.

    btw:
    all your (menu) links are grey.

    they seem to be styled by #menu a and #menu a:hover in style.css of your theme.

    to see changes to the styles, you may need to clear your browser cache – press ‘CTRL F5’ or ‘reload’ or whatever…
