That’s making sense. I moved the line of code for the title in search.php to the same position as the category.php. That made the search results page display like all the other pages as long as search results exist. When you search for a term that is not found, the content in the side widgets all move over to the left side.

What is causing this behavior? How do I correct it?

Can someone please take a look at this? My site is Comfort Climate Service About

The image cannot be selected and copied until you double click on the image. When the image opens in a different window, it can be saved or downloaded.

Is there a way for me to not allow double clicking on images?

I am very disappointed to say that InkThemes DID NOT fix this problem with the 2.5.3 release. I must have tested before clearing my cache ??

I have reimplemented the code solution above. I do have a question about best practices. Out of the 3 changes above, I am able to put the following in the custom css,

.search .page .post_meta { display: none; }

but made the other 2 changes directly in the style.css, which will be overwritten with the next theme update. What is the best option?

I am a perfectionist…LOL so I would hope they will fix the issues. They just released an update that fixed a significant problem I found in this last release. With the help of this forum, I was able to correct it in the meantime. It was ugly before the fix. I was active in their forum but they decided to stop using it and create another completely separate forum for paid versions only. To be very honest, I love the look of the Andrina Theme, but they have lots of room to improve in the support area. I would gladly donate to them for their work, but I will not upgrade to the ‘pro’ version because the support here is far superior.

I love WordPress so far and definitely love this forum. Although, I am new to HTML and PHP, I do have development experience (mainly backend SQL Server), as well as business analysis, testing and pm of web projects experience. I’m looking forward to the time when I will bring more to the table here in the form of help. I love open source and the community. It’s actually very empowering ?? Thank you!

Link color fixed in posts – check
Link color fixed in pages – check
Tags still appear black – check
Categories still appear black – check

Now, all I have to do is to create content and add links normally in the editor and they will work. Thank you very much.

I do think this is a theme problem, although I haven’t seen any other posts reporting it.

I just looked and the link on a page is still not displaying as a link. Also, no links appear blue in the preview. Does this seem like a theme issue to you?

The links in posts and tags are still blue with the code above, but the categories are now black again.

Do I want the tags the same color as the links?

And what if I have a link on a page? Will the code above work there as well?

I will try to report the problem to InkThemes. Thank you so much for your help on this. I really appreciate it ??

I’m wondering if this is not an Andrina bug because the fact that the Categories and tags were not colored. I’m also saying this because I created that test post after I disabled all the editor plugins and the links still did not work.

Why would the code work in the custom css and not in the original place?

The Categories are all blue now as well.

I noticed one more strange behavior. Before I put the link code from the editor-style.css into the custom css, the tags were black. Now that code changed all the tags to blue as well as the links. Why did this happen as well?

OK, this is very strange. I took the following code for links from the editor-style.css and pasted it in the custom css.

a,
a em,
a strong {
    color: #1b8be0;
    text-decoration: none;
}
a:focus,
a:active,
a:hover {
    text-decoration: underline;
}

Now magically, all the links work. What would cause the same code in the editor-style.css not to work when it works fine if I add it to the custom css?

BTW, the code you suggested above for adding a class to each link then adding the code to the custom css did work. I of course would like to avoid having to do that for every link in every post.

I added the following code to the custom css but it didn’t change the link color in the posts. Just to make sure I cleared the cache. `a {
color: #454444;
text-decoration: none;
}
`
Since the default editor is so limited, I’ve been experimenting with the following editor plugins. 1) EditorFontsize; 2) Font; 3) Ultimate TinyMCE

I even disabled all of them, created a draft post with 4 links but the links are still not highlighted. They work but not noticeable. HTML for the example is <a href="https://comfortclimateservice.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=833&action=edit">https://comfortclimateservice.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=833&action=edit</a>

From what I can tell the editor-style.css file changes the behavior of the editor. Do you think the problems are in that file? Do all themes have to have a file to change the editor behavior or is the functionality part of the base WP? I don’t see a way to attach a file, so I’m including the content below.

[No need for all that CSS]

I have to say I’m overwhelmed at this point ?? I definitely didn’t move an old site to WP. Now, I’m trying to wrap my brain around understanding why there’s so much outdated HTML code. I’m using the Andrina Lite theme and have only made the following (3) changes to the CSS.

.index-info .index-info-three{
margin-left:75px;
}

.widget_inner.last{
margin-left:150px;
}

#menu li a {
    margin-left:20px;
    padding:7px;
}

I am using some plugins to enhance the editor. How do we trouble shoot where the problems are coming from? Thank you for your help.
