Hyperlink Color

    Hello! I am working on a blog that I get access to from my university. I cannot upgrade to pro, and I don’t have access to certain plugin, so I’m using custom css to customize the pages.

    My issue: The hyperlinks and taglines are under the same code, so when I change the white, virtually invisible links to blue, it also changes the tagline to blue, making it unreadable on my header image. And vice versa.

    Steps I’ve taken: Added code to overwrite this by making all weblinks blue, but it only shows up in Inspect mode & it changes my sites main heading to blue, making it unreadable.

    What code can I use to separate these two and make it appear outside of Inspect?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @chicanamappingproject
    you can apply a custom color only to links within pages or posts.
    To do this, go to your WordPress Dashboard under “Appearance-> Customize-> Additional CSS” and paste this code:

    .entry-content a {
	color: #000000 !important;
}

    In this code I have used the color black (#000000) but you can choose the color you prefer.

    Hi @crestaproject

    I really appreciate your response!

    Unfortunately, Customize does not include an Additional CSS option. Is there something I need to toggle to get that option?

    Currently, from Customize I can only see: Site Identity, Colors (which does change the hyperlinks by also the site tagline, which I don’t want), Header image, Menus, Widgets, and Homepage Settings.

    Thanks!

    Hi @chicanamappingproject
    probably this depends on some plugin that has hidden the “additional CSS” option.
    I see you use the Divi Builder plugin, try to go in “Divi-> Theme Options” and find the option called “Custom CSS”.
    Here you can paste the CSS I provided.

    Hi @crestaproject, that worked! Thanks so so much. I’m new to WordPress and Divi Builder.

    Much appreciated!
