Please help

I couldn’t load your site in my browser – the load time is really slow. I would think that the CSS for single pages are correctly styled, and the css for the homepage’s special top div is styled correctly, but the bottom of the front page, and I would also guess the archive pages are not – it is simply missing some styles. Add those to the correct division in your stylesheet and you’ll be golden.

If I could see your site, I could give you the code that you need to add.

No problems viewing the site here. It downloaded inside 10 seconds.

@mduzair: Your most recent post has all of it’s content inside a div with the class “content”. The content for the later posts isn’t inside a similar div. You could try adding:

.entry a,.entry a:visited {
border-bottom:1px dotted #999999;
color:#CCCCCC;
}

to the bottom of style.css and see if that helps. If it doesn’t, you’ll need to edit your theme’s index.php template file and add the necessary div block to the older post content.

Esmi,

You’re the first person that has suggested stuff in three days that actually seems to be doing something. But its still not working, so I’m going to make an effort to explain the problem in detail and please excuse the lack of appropriate jargon cuz I am new to this.

1. If you look at my page, every post has a grey strip above it (below the post’s title). There is a comment link in this strip. Let’s call it the comment link

2. The links under the post, such as the Categories, let’s call this the Category links.

3. And let’s call the Tags under the post, the Tag links.

4. And the links inside the text which I am posting, let’s call this the Text links. These are the ones I want to fix. Everything else should stay as is.

Now, the problem is:

A. When I post the above code in the stylesheet that you suggested all 4 types of links plus the link for the post title change to a lighter color and become dotted for all posts on the page. This is not what I want since now all the links on the page are changing. I just want this to happen to the Text links.

B. When I change the code you suggested so that it has a “.content” in front of it and not a “.entry” the following happens~:

– The comment link is yellow like I want it, but only for posts that have not been commented on. But I want it yellow on all posts regardless of the number of comments or not.

– Then, for the text links everything comes up ok.

– For the category and tag links, they also change to lighter and dotted, but only for those that have been visited. But I just want them to not change at all.

As far I can tell this option (B) is working. The only thing is that it is working too well on all links. I need to remove the comments link and the category links from these changes. And I think we may be good to go.

C. When I change the code you suggested to take out the “a:visited” part, everything goes back to the same as it was. All links are working, but the Text links (except for the first post) are not lighter and not dotted.

D. I tried posting the code you suggested in the index template but it doesn’t seem to be working. This type of code (with color specifications) doesn’t exist in that template, so I’m not sure what to replicate

I hope all that gives you enough info to see what is going on. And mind you, I have not even mentioned as of yet all the different set of changes this code is making when I go to see a single post only.

help!!!!!

Also, currently on the blog, what you see are the changes made in Option B.

In this, all links are appearing ok except for the post title links, the category links and the comment links. From these ones, only those that have been visited by someone are appearing in lighter color and with a dotted line.

If we can find a way to remove the part which changes these links once visited, I think we will be good to go.

Please help… anyone!

i’m not a web designer by any means, but try putting this at the bottom of your stylesheet and see if it works:

.post a.wp-oembed {
border-bottom:1px dotted #999999;
color:#CCCCCC;
}
.post a.wp-oembed:hover {
color: #fff;
}
if it doesnt just delete it and let us know…

I tried it and it doesn’t seem to do anything.

For this to work, do my links have to be inserted using the wp-oembd tag?

any ideas folks?

Esmi?

hello.. anybody?

first, did you type wp-oembd or wp-oembed? because in your most recent reply you misspelled the tag I wrote in that code… you left out an ‘e’…

if it still doesnt seem to work i think you’re making a mistake in how you’re putting the code into the stylesheet. here’s my solution so you can keep working at it yourself:

download google chrome web browser.
install it and go to your webpage.
go over the link you’re trying to modify, right click, and click on ‘inspect element’

if you have a bit of experience around a stylesheet you can use google chromes ‘inspect element’ to get all the classes and tags you need to modify the site.

if you’re still having trouble post back, i’ll check this again.
