# Button Link Color Customization

 * Hello!
 * I believe that the color of the links when you hover over a Max Button on our
   site are being inherited from our main site style.
 * As you can see, it looks very strange to have the red letters when you hover 
   over. How do I go about customizing that color?
 * Based on another support forum post, I put the below into the Additional CSS 
   in my overall wordpress theme… but it didn’t seem to do anything:
 * #main .cb-entry-content .buttonEdit a {
    text-decoration-color: #C0C0C0; }
 * Any advice?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fbutton-link-color-customization%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * You are right. On that page there is a big list of custom CSS, probably coming
   from your theme settings or so. It sets the properties as !important, which means
   it will override everything else.
 * This is the code :
 *     ```
       	.btn-search:hover,
       		p a:hover,
       		a:hover,
       		a:focus,
       		a:active,
       		#nav ul > li.dropdown:hover > a,
       		#nav ul li.active > a,
       		#nav ul li a:hover,
       		a:hover span,
       		.alt-post-foot .post-meta .alt-post-author a:hover,
       		.site-pagination span.current,
       		#wp-calendar a,
       		.single-content a,
       		.new-slides .owl-theme .owl-controls .owl-buttons div.owl-prev:hover,
       		.new-slides .owl-theme .owl-controls .owl-buttons div.owl-next:hover,
       		.keep-reading,
       		#alith-tab li:hover a,
       		#alith-tab-small a.alith-current-item,
       		#alith-tab a.alith-current-item,
       		.post-sticky a.post-title,
       		.post-sticky .post-title-normal a,
       		.comment-content a
       		{
       			color: #e53446 !important;
       		}
       ```
   
 * You’ll need to get rid of the a:hover rule there or removing the !important might
   also help.
