How to set link color in block

If you want a link color in your footer that’s different from the default, you’ll need to use CSS to just target the footer and override the primary link color:

.site-footer-container a {
    color: #ff0000;
}

That will make the link red. Change #ff0000 to whatever color you choose.

I hope that helps!

Thanks, but I cannot see an easy way to add custom css to Blockbase – there is no file editor or customizer – how would I add custom css without going into vscode or something with the theme source code… seems to kind of defeat the purpose a FSE…

I also tried direct access to customize.php – it worked while inside customize, but after I publish, the Blockbase theme did not load the additional css. But then I noticed the evil jquery was in there. Huh. It was because I was using the tabs plugin. Once I got rid of that plugin, bingo – the custom css created via direct access to /wp-admin/customize.php worked! Yay!

Ah! Thank you for letting us know. We’ll also see if there’s a way to edit link color within the footer through FSE and update you with our findings. Cheers

Good news! It should already be possible. Using the Full Site Editor’s list view, click on the group for your footer. Look at the color options in the right-hand side of the page. You should see a foreground and background color option. Tap the three dots on colors to see if it’s hiding any more options. Link should be there.

Thanks @supernovia – but Bad news! No, it doesn’t. I agree Link should be there but it is no – only Text and Background.

Hmm, I think this is more of a core/Gutenberg FSE setting rather than something specific to Blockbase, but it’s possible I’m using a different version (I tend to run beta).

Try this, though:

– Use the list view on the left to select a group.

– Click the gear option (upper right) so you’ll be looking at settings for that group rather than the overall Styles setting for the site.

– You should see Colors there. It will say text and background. But tap the three-dots menu. Link should be one of the options, and if you click that, Link will appear in the list.

I have a screenshot of what that looks like for me here. Can you see these options?

I noticed that visual preference to display Links Color doesn’t persist across other blocks. But if you aren’t seeing that option at all, please let me know what version of WordPress you’re using so I can double-check that. Thanks!

You are right! Group Styles is the trick! Thanks!
