Change text links only

Hi,

But when I change this in Themler, all types of links are affected: headers, lists, buttons and menu's alike.

All these elements use text links (html <a> element).

Almost all controls have own text styles under the "More Styles" menu where you can configure typography for this control only:

Thank you,
Olivia

Dear Olivia,

That is what I already wrote in my question.

So the answer is "No", there is no way to change text links only.

When I want that, I will have to reset this for every control and style element used, which is quite a bit of work...

Rogier

Hello Rogier,
in fact, you're right: the changes could be made at global level at Design tab or each control could be changed via More Styles.

let us know if you have additional questions

Dear Aileen,

When I changed the color only, it worked only on the text links. List links in the sidebar were not affected. So I kinda found something to make it work acceptably.

You are welcome. Let us know if you need our further help.

Currently, if you want links in paragraph text to be underlined (not all other links in headings, lists, etc.), you have to add the following custom css in the "Additional CSS" box found on the "Home" tab in "Settings":

p a:link {
text-decoration: underline;
}

Why are you doing this. All links are posible to style locally, not globally. Olivia is missinforming somehow.

If you by chance hit some strange situation where it is not possible put that block in empty Section and all styling for text and links are done via Section settings.

Dear Jake and Stagger,

Thanks for your tips.

Why? To increase readability throughout my website I wanted the links in my text to be more recognizable. That is: only in text, not in headers, lists, etc. When I set the appropriate element in "Design" (as this should be a global change) to use underline, all other elements using links are affected too. When I change only the text link color it is works fine.

As you might expect I consider this unexpected behaviour of Themler. Or in short: this is a bug.

Using custom CSS is not a solution, it is a work around. Moreover, when something is repaired or changed in a next version, it is actively blocking this improvement.

Looking forward to your opinion.

What is it for inserted control ? Or it is content control only ?

Dear Stagger,

I am not sure what you mean by "inserted control". It is about static text on my pages and blogs.

Regards, Rogier

It is impossible that you are saying. Changing content links never change Menu links, or in Sidebars. I have never had problem localizing links style in template and content.

Anyway you have to click on "Customize this template" twice to make it independent from rest of website. One is under Settings tab - Background option. Second is when you click on Post header, Posts options.

And "text link" is wrong naming. If it is WordPress in this world it means links as text, WITHOUT "a" tags.
But OK, seems as you meant real links, not text only,

I experienced the same problem as @Rogier

I wanted links in body text to be underlined. When I went to Design/More Styles/Text to set Links to be underlined, Themler applied the underline attribute GLOBALLY to ALL links. So links in all the Headings, Lists, Button, etc. got underlines, which is not what I want.

The attached image shows the Text flyout, with underline selected for Links. As you can see, the underline attribute is applied Globally.

My workaround was to put

p a:link {
text-decoration: underline;
}

in the Additional CSS field, and this applied underlines to only the body text as desired. I'm guessing that Themler is applying that attribute to a:link which makes it global.

I am still experiencing this bug. The workaround is no solution. Please fix asap.

Hi,

That is actually not a bug. If you set the link style under the Design tab, that style is applied to all the links, meant all elements using the <a> tag. Those are headings, links and so on. To edit the link style in, for example, the post content only, you need to open Posts control >> Post Content >> More Styles >> Text >> Link and set the desired options.
You can describe your problem in more details so we could help you.
