    Hi

    I’m hoping someone can help me out.

    Can someone help me to have the links in the widgets in the sidebar so that they are red and when hovered over they are blue? Currently, there is a few links under Articles in the sidebar which for whatever reason are white and go red when hovered over. Not sure why they would be different to the Latest Posts links just above them.

    I have looked all through the style.css file but I don’t see it.

    I need to keep the nav bar as it is though so any changes mustn’t affect that.

    I am using the Modern Portfolio Pro theme and the red setting.

    Thanks in advance.
