Changing CSS

Hi @saskiaherm

You can change your site’s global colors by going to your site’s editor. To do this kindly follow the steps below:

• Go to Appearance > Editor
• Select the half-shaded circle icon at the top right-hand corner of the screen as shown in this screenshot
• From the settings that come up open Colors > Links

If you want to add custom CSS to your site you can do so by adding wp-admin/customize.php to your site’s link. You can click here for easy access.

Yes, thank you.

I tried all that already. I changed the link colors into #BFA980 as you can see on: https://saskiahermans.nl/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Links-Color.png.

However the links are displaying as green and underlined on my site. Not quite what I expect and want.

I also cleared cache, but still nothing changes.

Kind regards,

Saskia

@saskiaherm The TT3 theme defines links in the Post Content block to use the “Secondary” color, so this overrides your choice of the site-wide link color.

It is not possible to edit this Post Content link color in the editor.
See: Styles > Blocks > Post Content, and you will notice that you can only edit the Typography for this block, with no color options available.

So as this block uses the “Secondary” green color for links, the only way to change link color for the Post Content block is to edit the color palette and change the “Secondary” color. Then your links within the Post Content block will change to your edited “Secondary” color.

Hmm, thanks for your answer.

That is quite frustrating, inflexible and old-fasioned that it is not possible to change a simple thing as the color of a link …

I agree it is really confusing.
When changing the link color it would generally be expected that this would apply to links in the Post Content block, as this is where text links are most likely to exist on a site.
Hopefully the creators of this theme can address this in a future update.
