# Link rectangle

 * I need to get rid of the black rectangle apprearing when I click on a imagen 
   of the slider. I´ve tried via css but nothing seems to work. I´m using the Clarity
   template with css code for customizing it according to the website design. How
   can I solve it?
 * And second, I can´t update the plugin to the latest version (actual on the site
   is Version 3.99.0) because if I do it, some garey rectangles appear down each
   image and break the desing. Same way than before, I´ve tried to solve it via 
   css code, but the only one solution I´ve found was not updating the plugin.
 * Thanks beforehando for your help,

 * Hi [@arkitecturahoy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arkitecturahoy/). Thanks
   for using MetaSlider.
 * Yes, we can help with problems involving the plugin itself.
 * Sorry, we’re not able to help debug custom CSS here on the WordPress forums.
 * Do these problems happen with the default Clarity theme (no extra CSS added)?

 * Sorry I reopen the discussion, but still need help. Yes, the black rectangle 
   problem happens with the default Clarity theme with no extra CSS added too… I
   used it here: [https://carolinalallana.com.ar/demo/elementor-4956/](https://carolinalallana.com.ar/demo/elementor-4956/)
   with clean code, en when you activate a link, can see the black border around
   the image, as seen on third image. I´ve tried to put it in transparent color 
   to hide it, but it doesn´t work.

 * Hi [@arkitecturahoy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arkitecturahoy/)
 * The rectangle is actually an accessibility feature outline border. If you want
   to remove it, add this custom CSS:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       .metaslider.ms-theme-clarity .flexslider .slides li:focus-within {  outline: none;}
       ```
   
 * Regards

 * [@arkitecturahoy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arkitecturahoy/) please
   add _!important_ to force your customizations.
 *     ```wp-block-code
       .metaslider.ms-theme-clarity .flexslider .slides li:focus-within {  outline: none !important;}
       ```
