    Hello,
    I'm using the beautiful pro child theme. By default the hyperlinks are red. How can I change them to the classic blue used throughout the web?

    Thanks,
    Jesse

    Hi Jesse,

    I asked this same question directly to StudioPress support and here is what I received from them. Hopefully this gets you going.

    You would be looking to change code in your style.css file which is located dashboard > appearance > editor make sure that the drop down at the top right has "education pro theme" selected and then make sure stylesheet (style.css) is selected on the right side.

    You will need to look for this code:

    a {
        color: #78a7c8;
        text-decoration: none; 
    
    and change to this to have links underlined:
    
    a {
        color: #78a7c8;
        text-decoration: underline;
    
    And then this is the code for when you are hovering over the link:
    
    a:hover {
    	color: #34678a;
    }

    This will not change all links as there will be more specific code that can override this, if you come across links that do not have the underline on them.

    I highly recommend using Firebug to find the CSS that controls different elements on your site. We have a tutorial for using Firebug here: http://www.studiopress.com/tips/using-firebug.htm.
