Hey there keithweaves, hope you’re well today!
You could change the link colors with some custom CSS. The easiest way to do that would be to add it in your site using the following plugin
http://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/simple-custom-css
Once the plugin is installed and activated you can add this code to Appearance >> Custom CSS:
.post-content p a {
color: #000;
}
.post-content p a:hover {
color: #000;
}
This will change the links inside post content. Note that you’ll have to change color hex value to what ever suits you the most. The first one will change the link color and the second link hover color.
Have a nice weekend 🙂

Although I change it to any possible hex-code, the “a” link color remains in a slightly different light brown. Almost not to be recognized that there is a link. The color for the “a:hover” works fine. Any help granted?
Thanks,
Thomas
Hey there Thomas,
Where are you adding the code? Can you keep it added and post link to your site where I can see any of those links so I can take a look?
Cheers,

Hi Bojan,
thanks for the quick reply, here you can see the example page:
http://www.helemhealth.com/category/current/?lang=en
The link is in the second paragraph starting with “The setting of the plusoptix A12…”
That´s just an example, all links in the postings are affected – or better said not affected.
I placed the code via simple-custom-css plugin and although tried by adding it directly into the style-page with the editor.
cheers, Thomas

sorry wanted to say “…and also tried by adding…”
Hey again Thomas,
I tested the code using inspector and it should be working. Is the code added now because I can’t see it when inspecting your site.
Please add it to simple custom CSS tab and also post code from it (if you have a lot of code please use pastebin.com) so I can check.
Cheers,
Bojan

Hi Bojan,
“I placed the code via simple-custom-css plugin and although tried by adding it directly into the style-page with the editor.” As I wrote before. The code is still in the simple-css plugin where I put i, I just checked it:
/* Enter Your Custom CSS Here */
*/
Custom CSS from Thomas September 2015
change link style within the posts
——————————————–*/
.post-content p a {
color: #FA5882;
}
.post-content p a:hover {
color: #FA5882;
}
Its working with the a:hover.

ouch!, sorry I made a slight but important mistake in the code above, have to write “/*” instead of “*/”
Well now, all links like Read More and Categories are red, but not in the post itself. Weird.
Hey Thomas,
I see that the code is working now for the post links http://screencast.com/t/70Aa0ySxa. Am I missing something here?
