    Hi,
    We have a site located here at: http://uofu.yogaassets.com/.

    There is one small issue i.e. we need our active links to turn red but they are not. We have tried every possible setting for this but unable to get the one.

    Please any suggestion or help would be highly appreciated. It seems a css need change but we do not find the particular element with which we will put our css.

    Thanks
    MD

    By "active links" you mean all hyperlinks or nav bar menu item link when on that page?

    Add this CSS at the end of child theme's style.css:

    a, .textwidget a, #menu-secondary-sidebar-menu li > a {
        color: #B80E28;
    }
    
    a:hover, .textwidget a:hover {
        color: #3b3d3b;
    }

    Hello Sri,
    Thanks for the help but we have one issue right now i.e. all the links have become color red. We only want active links to be red for example this page http://uofu.yogaassets.com/?page_id=150 the left side "What Our Students Are Saying" should be red when we are on that page as it is active one but if we are on home page then the left side link "What Our Students Are Saying" should not be red until we are on that page.

    Please help and suggest.

    Thanks
    Mike

    Replace

    .textwidget a, #menu-secondary-sidebar-menu li > a {
        color: #B80E28;
    }

    with

    #menu-secondary-sidebar-menu li.current_page_item > a {
        color: #B80E28;
    }
