Change link styles — stylesheet has no effect

  • I want to change the color and font of all the links on my WordPress site. I’ve read elsewhere that this can be done in my Stylesheet (style.css), but this is false. What makes my question perhaps unique is that I have changed the color settings for my links in style.css and NOTHING changed on my website. I did this in a:visited{} because the links I could see from the homepage were visited links, but nothing changed. So it’s not like I changed the color for the wrong link type. How and where do I change colors and fonts for the links on my site, and why won’t style.css work???

    ps: I’m designing this website for an outside client and my senior project for graduation. We present to the CS dept tomorrow (Wed 22), but my deadline for having everything done is in a little less than 2 wks. Please help!

    pss: I’ve figured out how to change simple links that I create myself, but I have to put styles in the < a > tag. Plus, I can’t change the styles of WordPress functions like wp_loginout(); so I’d really like to be able to change them all in one shot.

  • It can be caused by a variety of reasons. Site url?

    It’s still in development. The homepage isn’t much and the footer is still being finished, but other than that it’s just about done other than the content the client has not yet provided to me. I plan to finish the footer and homepage tonight.

    Nice and clean design on the frontend, lopezdl. However …

    I’ve read elsewhere that this can be done in my Stylesheet (style.css), but this is false.

    1. You don’t have a style.css linked to your site when I checked your source code. The only CSS’s linked are the multi-level navigation’s, thickbox’s and event calendar’s.
    2. Plus, you’ve hardcoded the styles directly to source with layout in tables. Any hardcoding of styles in source will supersede any styling done in style.css (which you don’t have).
