    I am having issues using links within posts at the moment. When I make a URL link for a specified piece of text it is coming out as plain text, not the typical blue underscored link text.

    You can see on this current post that the link where is says Fuller PR (at the bottom line of text) is still a link but only shows as plain text. There is another going to another of my preview posts at the top ("Southgate Moveable Feasts" text in third paragraph). Any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong?

    Link

    The same issue is happening on the Contacts page for the link to Facebook (which i've now done as bold and underscore manually but is in black). However, the two links to instagram and twitter are fine and showing as expected - these were done a while ago so it may be a recent issue.

    I've tried using the link creator in the WP dashboard, tried coding it manually and nothing seems to work. It may only be a small thing in the gran scheme of things but it's annoying me now.

    Thanks

    Hi melbournetreats,

    Issue is your style.css is applying " text-decoration: none " to all anchor tags at line no 180.
    Please replace " text-decoration:none " with " text-decoration: underline " it will add underline to all your links.
    To add links to only posts add following lines to style.css

    .post a{
    text-decoration: underline;
    }

    If you want to give color to links you can give color property to above selector.

    The demo does NOT apply an underline to links. The code which is controlling the link color & hover is here:

    a {
    color: #22a1c4;
    text-decoration: none;
    }

    a:hover {
    color: #000;
    }

    I am seeing this on both your site and the demo, so it would appear that there is something conflicting with your CSS, so that the blue (#22a1c4) is not displaying.

    The site has got a bunch of inline CSS jammed into the header in a couple of places.

    The style affecting basic 'a' links is not in the child theme stylesheet, rather it is the first statement in the following inline CSS:

    <style id='altitude-pro-theme-inline-css' type='text/css'>
    
    		a,
    		.entry-title a:hover,
    		.image-section a:hover,
    		.image-section .featured-content .entry-title a:hover,
    		.site-footer a:hover {
    			color: #000000;
    		}
    
    		button,
    		input[type="button"],
    		input[type="reset"],
    		input[type="submit"],
    		.archive-pagination li a:hover,
    		.archive-pagination .active a,
    		.button,
    		.footer-widgets,
    		.widget .button {
    			background-color: #000000;
    		}
    
    		button,
    		input[type="button"],
    		input[type="reset"],
    		input[type="submit"],
    		.button,
    		.front-page input:focus,
    		.front-page textarea:focus,
    		.widget .button {
    			border-color: #000000;
    		}
    		
    </style> 

    Address the changes made using whatever method is placing the CSS as inline styles and the annoyance goes away.
    (Jetpack perhaps?)

    Hey, thanks for the replies.

    So as it turns out, the colour option under the "customize" option that sets the default colour for buttons and the footer background ALSO changes the colour for links. So since I changed this to black for my button and footer look, it was also setting my links to black, hence appearing as plain text.
