I'm working on a WordPress site with the Twenty Twenty theme and have made some CSS changes which apply globally to make all hyperlinks red as below:
a {
color:#ff0000;
}
I used the CSS customise side bar to globally change hyperlink colour to red but now I need to change the hyperlink colour to white for all 'list' links on just one page, leaving all other pages with red links (don't ask, it's a requirement of someone).
I have tried the CSS edits below and none seem to work for my page. The hyperlinks are WordPress list items if it helps at all. As you can probably tell I don't understand CSS enough to isolate one page to it's own styling.
.page-id-253:li{
color:#FFFFFF;
}
.page-id-253:ul{
color:#FFFFFF;
}
#page-id-253:link{
color:#FFFFFF;
}
#page-id-253:a{
color:#FFFFFF;
}
How do I select the links in list items on just one page of my WordPress site?
You are using the wrong syntax.
And there is actually a :not selector in css where let you give style to the other element exclude the specific element.
a{
color:red;
}
/*a:not(#page-id-253 a){
color:red
}*/
.menuitem li a {
color:black
}
<a >Click</a>
<ul class='menuitem'>
<li><a>Link </a></li>
</ul>
#james Thanks a bunch, i had to make a small edit so the #page-id-253 to .page-id-253 and now the hyperlinks change to my chosen colour.
Only problem that has been introduced is my links list in the page footer have changed from black text to white also as the above is page wide. Sorry I didn't probably ask my question enough the firs time around.
Now, do I need some kind of a subquery text change that would be along the lines (obviously wrong in my case!) like...
.page-id-253 a{
color:white;not(.footer-nav-widgets-wrapper)
}
a{
color:red;
}
#page-id-253 a{
color:black
}
<a >Click</a>
<ul id='page-id-253'>
<li><a>Link </a></li>
</ul>
As far as I understand you want to change the link color of just one page. So just add the style tag to that page.
<head> <!-- the page you want to change link color -->
<!-- add this tag to your page -->
<style>
li a {
color: #000;
}
</style>
<!-- end -->
</head>

If you look at the top nav menu of http://www.footballpractice.org, you'll see that I've tried to add the dashicons in there using CSS classes assigned via Wordpress menu. The dashicon looks fine in the regular state, but doesn't take on the hover effect. What's the best way to apply hover classes to a :before element?
One way to do it is by applying :hover before :before.
div:hover:before {
...
}
For your website that would be:
.dashicons-megaphone:hover:before,
.dashicons-search:hover:before,
.dashicons-groups:hover:before,
.dashicons-format-video:hover:before {
...
}
Although this is what you ask, it's not what you want. You want the icon to be included in the hover effect, and that's why it's better to set :before on a span inside the a tag.
Updated html
<li>
<a href="#">
<span>Drills</span>
</a>
</li>
Updated css
.nav-header .genesis-nav-menu li a span:before {
content: "\f488";
font: normal 18px/1 'dashicons';
margin-right: 5px;
}
That will do it, let me know if you need more help.
I have a site with a bunch of anchor elements, and I'm trying to make them have a black background with white text on hover. Each anchor tag is wrapped in li. Funny thing is, only some anchor elements change their style on hover, and some don't. For example, the first three menu items in the menu change the text color, but the rest doesn't change the color. The background color works for every item. This is my code:
a, a:visited {
color:black;
text-decoration:none;
cursor:pointer;
}
a:hover,
a:hover span{
color:white !important;
background:black;
text-decoration:none;
}
<div id="navblock">
<ul class="nav fullwidthnav">
<li> NEW ARRIVALS</li>
<li>HOUSE LABELS</li>
<li>KNITS</li>
<li>TOPS</li>
<li>DRESSES</li>
<li>BOTTOMS</li>
<li>OUTERWEAR</li>
<li>SHOES</li>
</ul>
<div class="clearit"></div>
</div><!-- #navblock -->
a:visited is your culprit.
It is not being overridden by a:hover because it is both visited and hover so would need to be a:visited:hover which will work in modern browsers but possibly not IE compatible.
A question to ask may be do you really need a "visited" style? Is that something users really need?
I used -webkit-text-fill-color instead of just color, and now it works.
I am trying to override my default CSS in my WordPress theme's settings, but am having a heckuva time doing so.
Here's what my top menu looks like:
And the same goes for the submenu links when hovering over the top links:
I'd like the links to be white ... obviously the blue doesn't show up well at all.
Here's what I get when I Firebug the "About" link:
And when I right click the Firebug and copy the HTML, here's what part of it looks like:
<ul class="menu" id="menu-mega-menu"><li class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-
object-custom level0 has-sub" id="menu-item-3462"><a href="#"><i class="icon-thumbs-
up"></i>About<i class="icon-caret-down"></i></a>
<div class="sub-content" style="display: none;"><ul class="columns">
<li><ul class="list"><li class="header">The Basics</li>
<li class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page level2" id="menu-
item-155">Our Mission</li>
I've tried using #MashMenu, .menu-mega-menu, .mashmenu, and always do a color:#FFFFFF!important; but nothing ever gets rid of that blue. I don't know if I provided enough information here, but any help in guiding me in the right direction would be truly appreciated!

I'm not sure if the color is coming from the wordpress theme or from the user agent stylesheets, but the latter do tend to have higher specificity selectors for a that will prevent the simple a selector from working the way you want.
Inherited values are not related to selectors. You need to actually select the a to override other selectors for its property. For example:
.wordpress-theme a {
/* Selects <a> and sets the color
color: blue;
}
#MashMenu {
/* Selector has higher specificity but does not select <a> */
color: red;
}
#MashMenu a {
/* Selects `<a>` with higher specificity */
color: red;
}
I believe you need to apply the color override directly to the the <a> tag your are trying to effect. You probably have something more high-level that is dictating the color.
Consider this simple example:
HTML
<ul>
<li>
<a href='http://google.com'>Here is a link</a>
</li>
</ul>
CSS
li {
color: red;
}
li a {
color: green;
}
The original css is more specific and has the !important value on it. So fight fire with fire and do something like
.catalyst-widget-area a, .catalyst-widget-area a:visited,
.catalyst-widget-area a:hover {
color: #fff !important;
}
You can narrow the selector even more so you make sure it overrides it.
#mashmenu .catalyst-widget-area a, #mashmenu .catalyst-widget-area a:visited,
#mashmenu .catalyst-widget-area a:hover {
color: #fff !important;
}
And you can go on and on, making it more specific until it yields.
But here's something I've been wondering, how are you adding all these custom css files to a Wordpress theme? I say this, because there's is a right way, and many wrong ways to do it.
The right way is making a child theme of your current theme and work it from there. Child themes however, are not for entry-level modifications (though is way easier to override default styles from a child theme), in that case, there are plugins that help you override the css with your own custom css, one of the most popular is Jetpack.
In order to solve this issue in case anybody runs into a similar issue, I used the following:
.mashmenu .menu>li>a{color:#FFF !important;}
.mashmenu .columns .list a{color:#FFF !important;}
.mashmenu .menu .sub-channel li a{color:#FFF !important;}
.mashmenu .content-item .title a {color:#FFF !important;}
.mashmenu .page-item .title a {color:#FFF !important;}
.mashmenu .page-item a {color:#191970 !important;}
But when putting it at the bottom of my custom CSS, it didn't work; when I put it at the beginning of my custom CSS, it worked for some reason. I have no idea why this is the case, but this is what finally did the trick for me. Thank you for all who opined and helped me figure this out.
I'm having a bit of difficulty adding some CSS to a link. I'm using a CMS that automatically generates menus in an unordered list. However, where you're on a given page, it applies class="active" the the li and not to the link itself. This works fine for adding a background to the link, but I'm trying to change the link color.
<li class="active">
Link
</li>
I'm having difficulty coming up with the CSS to say "If a link is in an li with class="active" then make the link text color x."
How might I accomplish this?
Thanks!
the path is
li.active a { color: .... }
The MDC CSS Reference has good examples for the various types of selectors.
li.active a {color:whatever}
a
{
color: black;
}
a.active
{
color: green;
}
Try this:
.active a {color: red;}
I'm creating a custom master page for a MOSS publishing site. The designers have come up with this idea for the fly out menu...
alt text http://www.abbeylegal.com/Downloads/2009-01-06/gradient%20menu.jpg
which uses graduated/different backgrond and text colours for each menu option.
Does anyone know how to accomplish this?
You can use the CSS next-sibling selector (+) to achieve this however IE6 won't get the styles.
Do something like the following (colour properties are just for example):
ul ul li { background: darkblue; color: lightblue; }
ul ul li+li { background: blue; color: lightblue; }
ul ul li+li+li { background: lightblue; color: darkblue; }
ul ul li a:hover { color: black; }
Alternatively, you'll have to either apply a CSS class to each subitem going down (talk to the programmer if you're not responsible for that), or do it by adding classes with javascript.
Ideally try to convince them that you can't do it for IE6 but modern browsers will manage fine. As long as the site is still usable the gradient of colours is a very minor loss.
I see two possibilites with pure css:
1.
If you have fixed pixel height for the entry lines you could always use one single background image with the gradients on it. If you make your menus with lists you could just slap it on the encompassing list tag.
2.
If you want to to keep the line height/ font size flexible you can work with multiple classes: one for every color tone. Just give give every nth-line a special class with the corresponding color tone as a background color and slap that class on the tag for that line.
design critic:
The problem that I see here is that you will have a maximum number of entries because with this level of gradual fade the background color will become white after six or seven entries.
kind words:
As long as the menu doesn't have to be transparent you should be fine.
If you want to be able to calculate a gradient of arbitrary colors, this page has some useful functions for handling hex color triplet calculations.
I would probably use the Suckerfish method with different a CSS class for each level of <li> in the menu:
<ul id="menu">
<li class="root">Home</li>
<!-- etc. -->
<li>Products
<ul>
<li class="sub1">BTE Legal Expense Insurance</li>
<li class="sub2">Legal Services</li>
<!-- etc. -->
</ul>
</li>
<!-- etc. -->
</ul>
I found this not to be possible with the Sharepoint
