* hi.
is there a reason behind this inline rule? i cant see any way to disable
its generation from the settings and, as it’s an inline rule, i cant override
it with my custom css. how can i force the plugin to avoid the print of this
line of code?
* thanks

* Hi [@potpov](https://wordpress.org/support/users/potpov/), if I remember correctly,
we have that inline style on the `` tag since we are opening the link when
someone clicks on the outer wrapping div, but we still want to have an inner `
` tag with an href property.
* If you could explain exactly what you are trying to do and send me a link to
your site I could probably help.
* Thanks

* thanks for your answer.
i’d like to re-define the hover stile of my links but
the property looks disabled by the inline rule you set.

* Hi [@potpov](https://wordpress.org/support/users/potpov/), I was able to modify
the hover state with the following css:
* ```
.shop-page-wp-link:hover a {
background-color: cornflowerblue;
border-color: cornflowerblue;
}
```
* Let me know if this is what you need. Thanks
