Link color changed after update

  • So I have been running the Inspiro theme for more than 2 years and with the last update suddenly all the link colors on my website changed.

    I opened Customizer > Colors and there I can only adjust some colors, not the link color. At the end of the list there is a button that says “Unlock all customizations” and leads to the premium package.

    Does this mean I have to get the premium version now to set a custom link color? If yes, are you kidding me? xD

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    I have this Custom CSS code:

    a {
    color: #8ec43b;
    text-decoration: none;
    }

    a, a:hover, a:focus, a:active {
    text-decoration: none !important;
    }

    If I add “!important” to the line “color: #8ec43b;” then the link color changes back to the desired color but it does so in all places – including the header and menu, where I need a different link color that is set via the customizer.

    Update in case anyone is experiencing the same: I had to go into Customizer > Colors and set the Scheme to “Custom” in able to adjust link color. This fixed it.

    Hi, @administratus

    There was a bug in WordPress 6.6 regarding this and we fixed it directly in our themes. Most probably they fixed the bug in WordPress 6.6.1 and our fix was overwriting theirs. We will fix this in the next update. Great that you’ve found a workaround.

    Great, so that’s why I once again have to manually reconfigure all my site’s colours. Again. This is absolutely ridiculous that updates overwrite customisations. I think I’m going to bin off wordpress and it’s dictatorial theme designers and go back to hand coding my website. The point of this service is to make things easier, not require the end user to spend hours fixing configuration overwrites that have been wiped out because a new version is “more secure”. There is absolutely no need to change the colour palette in the name of security. Leave it alone!
