Theme Twenty twelve css colors won't change since updating to newest version

  • a:link {
color:#D72027;
}

a:visited {
color:#000;
text-decoration: none;
}

a:hover {
color:#91D9F7;
}

    I can’t get the links to change color since I updated both WP and Twenty-Twelve theme. I have made edits onto a child theme. I can’t even get changed to show up when inspecting the code on screen.

    https://mandiellefson.com/ “Read More >>” is where you can see it, but no links other than the menu and breadcrumbs are change being shown. Thanks in advance!

    Can you clear your browser’s cache?

    please use a browser inspection tool to find out how the other links get formatted;
    those other links might get formatted by more specific styles in the parent theme, and might need the same more specific styles to change the color in the child theme.

    @andrew I did clear the cache on the website caching plugin and on the browser.

    @alchymyth What you are saying makes a lot of sense, but I don’t know what each of them styles are. I have tried this for the body, but I don’t know what the code would be for the other items. Let me see if I can find more items to include.

    What do you mean “Read More >>”, where is that text?

    I can see your CSS working on “>> Read On… >>”. What specifically doesn’t work?

    The link colors don’t show up red and blue on rollover

    a:link {
color:#D72027;
}

a:visited {
color:#000;
text-decoration: none;
}

a:hover {
color:#91D9F7;
}

    Sorry I can’t experience your issue.

    I have the same problem. Did you figure it out?

    @jb12: As per the Forum Welcome, please post your own topic.

    Sorry esmi

    @esmi some links changed some didn’t. The updated messed it up, but I am redesigning so not a huge deal. I think you just have to go through the selectors and call them out one by one. My tech speech isn’t so great I know. Good luck!
