How to format links in posts ONLY

  • I’m using this theme: https://www.wordpressthemesbox.com/2008/05/03/maroon-lily/

    The links in the posts don’t differ much from the regular text, and I’ve been trying to add an underline to them. But if I go to my stylesheet and write

    a:link{color:#520e0f; text-decoration:underline;}, a:visited{color:#520e0f; text-decoration:none;}
    a:hover{color:#000;}

    then all my links become underlined: all pages in the navbar, the blog’s name and so on. It doesn’t look very nice. How do I make sure ONLY the links in posts are underlined? Thanks..

  • Because the theme demo only shows images and no regular text, I was unable to test this. But I tested it with the meta links and it worked.

    In your style sheet, add a new entry class, so that the entire links section looks like this

    /**************** Links *********************/
a:link, a:visited{color: #520e0f; text-decoration:none;}
a:hover{color:#000;}

.entry a:link, a:visited{color: #520e0f; text-decoration:underline;}
a:hover{color:#000;}

    I’m pretty sure this will work, but if .entry does not do it, try with .post

    Thank you buddha trance, I’ve now fiddled around with it and it works with this version:

    /**************** Links *********************/
    a:link, a:visited{color:#520e0f; text-decoration:none;}
    a:hover{color:#000;}

    .post a:link{color:#520e0f; text-decoration:underline;}, a:visited{color: #520e0f; text-decoration:underline;}
    a:hover{color:#000;}

    Very strange: The change I made doesn’t work for new posts! I just wrote a new one and the links in it are not underlined :-S What did I do wrong? Thanks..

    Don’t forget to add .post before the other modes as well:

    .post a:link{color:#520e0f; text-decoration:underline;}
    .post a:visited{color: #520e0f; text-decoration:underline;}
    .post a:hover{color:#000;}
