Problem with link colors on WP

Some links on my WP site become white when hovered(on white B/G of course).

I thought I could fix this inside the css file, but I can t find it.

Where else should I look?

Thanks for your help!

  • Use FileZilla to check the CSS via FTP.

    It's usually in Themes and then Edit. In your WP Dashboard
  • Thanks,

    But this is not the problem. I can easily locate the file.

    My problem is finding what to change in th css file

    Thanks
  • If you can provide a link to a page that has some of these links someone should be able to point out which css lines need to be changed
  • Another option is just to open up the CSS file in an editor and replace all of the color: #fff with the color of your choice, unless you have white text somewhere else you would like to keep. If it still doesn't work it may be that the theme is not properly coded and the text color is hard coded into the template.

    • never thought of doing it this way..

      to be safe you could use the find feature first to find all #fff and then change the ones that sit inside any block using the tags a:hover
  • Thanks for all your answers.

    The problem is when I don that, it appers there is no #fff on my css file, neither any hover

    see my problem on the home page where I changed 1 of the category to OPTIMISATION and now the problem happens on this, while it s working fine on other categories.

    You can see on this page as well what happens.

    Thanks!
  • Hey, coffeecashnow

    Please have a look in your theme style.css at line 105:
    Code:
    .menu li.active a,a:hover{
    color: #fff !important;
}
    Try changing "color" to another colour such as green. But this is a quick fix, please make check there aren't cascading implications of that change. (There are few other rules that may need looking at but this seemed to fix it for me without doing lots of testing)

    J'espère que ça pourra vous aider

    • Thank you, it did help a lot!

      Though I still have the problem on OPTIMISATION on the home page that should not change color and it does. any idea on this?

      Merci beaucoup

  • Hey, coffeecashnow
    it seems that the "Optimisation" link doesn't have its own rule like the other links in that group like video, reputation, etc.

    At line 235 in style.css there's a block of code:
    Code:
    .item-icon.seo a{color: #055D9E !important;}
.item-icon.web a{color: #027e02 !important;}
.item-icon.ppc a{color: #e34c04 !important;}
.item-icon.social a{color: #4d4d4d !important;}
.item-icon.email a{color: #da0404 !important;}
.item-icon.video a{color: #6e6e6e !important;}
.item-icon.reputation a{color: #ffe147 !important;}
.item-icon.optimisation a{color: green !important;}
.item-icon.direct-mail a{color: #0b9e99 !important;}
    I've added the missing line. Feel free to change the colour, of course.

    See it if helps. If not, come back and we'll figure it out
  • Actually it was to replace the direct mail line

    It did the job!

    Thanks a lot!
