Will do re !important. Much appreciate the tips for examining the CSS. Someday, I won’t be a novice at all this…but I don’t know if I’ll live that long!

Following your advice, I think I tracked down the source of my problems. I think it’s all under “Basic Structure.”

Close enough; I can live with it for now, even though it’s not consistent across all browsers. I like Chrome, but sometimes it makes me crazy. Again, I truly appreciate your help. Last question for the night: Is there any way I can look at the CSS for TwentyTwelve without activating it in place of my child theme?

Done. Also changed the visited color to something completely different. Let me know what shows up. And before I forget, thank you very much for all your help!

The links should be bold and the should only be underlined on hover. Is that what you’re seeing? (I haven’t switched it to the TwentyTwelve parent theme yet).

Alas, no joy, on Chrome, Firefox or Safari. Going into the TwentyTwelve template to see if I can find another set of code where the problem might lie. Briefly switching the blog to TwentyTwelve.

Well, it still doesn’t look as I would like, but it DOES match the CSS you provided…on Firefox and Safari, but not on Google Chrome, which has been my default browser (perhaps until tonight). On Chrome, it’s all still grey. Gonna try to expand on your code snippet and see if it does what I want to do. If it does work, I may be done with Chrome for awhile.

Done. Also cleared the cache. No change here. How is it there?

.entry-content a:visited,
.comment-content a:visited,
a:visited {
    color: #00008b;
}

Tried it, didn’t work here. Tried going sitewide with the CSS as follows:

.site a:link  {
     color: #008000;
        font-weight: bold;
        text-decoration: none;
}

.site a:hover {
    color: #006400;
        text-decoration: underline;
}
. site a:visited {
    color: #008000;
    text-decoration: none;
        }

Still, no joy here. How does it appear on your end? If I can find a solution soon, I will be forced to use a different template , which I’d prefer not to do.

That looks like it might be the answer. Will try it right now and many thanks. As for the Soul Train Cruise, they let you break it into three payments, so give it a look. You may never see that lineup together again.

That’s my point, Andrew: I don’t *HAVE* any grey styles that I wrote for this theme. Whatever updates were done in WP 3.6 and TwentyTwelve arbitrarily changed them all to grey, and so far, I can’t find any way to change them back. That’s why i need help with this.

ALL of them.

Already tried that, lee. It didn’t help at all.

I’d had the same problem since WP 3.6, and 3.6.1 hasn’t helped. It particularly affects my CSS governing links, turning them all gray. Everything was fine before 3.6. Have been using the TwentyTwelve template.

Neither would I. I’m hoping for a more elegant solution.

Alas, it didn’t help at all. The links are still gray. Is there any way to opt out of the of the TwentyTwelve 1.2 upgrade embedded in WP 3.6?
