    I’m trying to change the color of hyperlinks in Genesis Child Theme Cook’d Pro and I’m having trouble. This is what my code looks like:

    a {
    	color: #a53934;
    	text-decoration: underline;
    }
    
    a:hover {
    	color: #a53934;
    }

    I changed the color hex code, but it’s not changing the styling at all when I reload the site (and yes, I cleared my cache before doing so.)

    Any hints on how to get this customization done?

  • Hey! I’m not a wordpress pro by a long shot, but here is how I change the colour of my links without having to use the editor!

    I installed the plugin: Page Builder by SiteOrigin
    You can convert all your posts and pages using the plugin to a page builder format super easily! There is an option to do so right beside “visual editor” and “text” when editing the page or post.

    Once converted, you can click “edit” and find “design” on the right hand side of the page builder (under “attributes” and “layout”). At the bottom of Design, you can change the link colour of all links in that page!

    Hope this helps!

    If you provide a link I’ll be happy to take a look at your code.

    Also, I think I’m missing something as your example CSS colors are the same. If you’re talking about the underline changing, then youra:hoverneeds to stateunderline: none;

    Finally, I always throw this in for good measure:

    a:active
    a:link
    a:visited

    The link is https://new.parchmentgirl.com. I’m working on a demo site.

    Sorry for the confusion – #a53934 (reddish) is the color I want my links to show as and it’s what I have in my code, but they’re showing up black in the body and a grey background pops up when moused over. To further complicate things, links to blog posts on my home page turn grey when moused over (no background).

    Thanks for your help! I finally figured it out…I had to edit about 8 snippets of CSS because apparently the links in my sidebar/posts/entry headers/meta links/etc. all had separate styling.

    Awesome! Glad you figured it out! Have fun with it. ??
