Changing color of links in Sliding Doors Theme

  • How is it possible I change the color of the links but it doesn’t change.
    I have been chasing my tail with this for days.
    The links are a purple color and look terrible. My tag cloud was the same so I had to use a different cloud.
    I’ve changed my link color to the same light blue as the tag cloud to the right.
    I changed it in both light and dark themes and use Super Cache. Nothing. I’m using the dark theme.

    This is the color I changed it to but its purple.

    }

    a:link {
    color: #67a9ea;
    }

    My blog is here and don’t mind the mess. its been terrible slow going https://joe-lynn.com/Prints/

    Some help would really be appreciated!
    Thanks! ??

    Is this the webpage you see https://awesomescreenshot.com/018q3ivc4 ?
    If so, which links are you referring to as purple?

    Well now I’m a bit confused cause I am seeing them in purple. I have deleted the cache 400 times now and same in my iron browser with ctrl and F5.
    I guess I will need to use another browser just to see the changes.
    Thanks for looking. I am lost with this one. I have websites and blogs all over and never came across this :s

    Thanks again!

    Which browser & browser version is the problem occurring in?

    Thread Starter joe-lynn

    (@joe-lynn)

    I tried a different browser, firefox. Now I see 1 link in blue and 1 in purple. Any idea what is causing this?
    Its awfully hard to work on if I can’t see changes.

    Here’s what I see on firefox.

    I don’t see that on Firefox 16.0. Can you state the browser versions that the issues occur in?

    I use SRWare Iron version 19,00,11.000 or something like that.
    It works terrible with my Joomla sites so I use firefox for those. The latest.

    SRWare never had issues before with any of my blogs. This is my 3rd.

    SRWare is showing all links in purple and Firefox is showing what I showed in the screenshot. Not sure what I can do about it.

    I’m using the portable firefox ver. 17 for the one I took the screen from.

    Sorry, I’ve just updated to Firefox 17.0.1 and can’t replicate the issue.
    How are you clearing your cache? In some browsers, control and f5 is deprecated.

    SRWare is an iron browser exactly the same as google chrome.

    The firefox portable I use is ver. 17.
    I just tried the installed version I have and is the same exact result but its ver 13. Also firefox is showing terrible colors in the theme while the iron looks great.

    I guess its time to put this to rest for a while. I am just chasing my tail and getting nowhere.

    People will visit from a lot of browsers. Apparently this theme will only work right on 1 version of firefox.

    I guess I broke this page now and can’t post on it. When I try it jumps to my website.
    Sorry.
    Anyway thanks a lot for the help.
    I will see what I can do about these errors.

    I’m very new to websites and just wing it with only the help of google. I haven’t even used forums.
    I will see what I can do to fix the errors.
    Thanks again Andrew!
