    I install Minimal Lite theme recently and I like how it looks.
    However, there seems to be one problem for me.

    The links within post/pages are in the same color as other texts unless they are hovered.
    I’d like to change the link colors and/or add some decorations to distinct them.

    However, when I put some CSS code, it changed the looks of every single links in my site.

    Need some help now.

    Thank you.

    Hi, damarpaskalis, I noticed that some CSS was not properly written, and that involves two # signs being used with the link colors as seen with this code from your site:

    a {
   color: ##fd5b66;
}
a:visited {
   color: ##fd5b66;
}

    Assuming that you had written these CSS rules, I would remove one of the pound signs from each of these property-value pairs, so instead it should be:

    a {
   color: #fd5b66;
}
a:visited {
   color: #fd5b66;
}

    Since these rules don’t have particularly specific selectors, they will apply to every link on your website so I would advise that you learn more about selectors with CSS: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/CSS/Building_blocks/Selectors

    Or you could use a plug-in to ensure that the CSS code is properly formed in the future such as https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/so-css/

    Hi @sterndata sorry for the inconvenience. I have changed the setting as soon as I got your message.

    Hi @plantprogrammer, thank you for the help.
    I wasn’t aware of that until you mentioned the issue here.

    I fixed that and changed the CSS into something like this

    .single-post .entry-content  a{
color:#fd5b66;
}

    and it works the way I want it to be.

    Thanks for the help, man!
