Change the color or style of a link

Post by Thor#1 »

I have a page with multiple (50+) text links to other internal and external pages.

They are all using the default color scheme for the links. I have found that those colors are somewhat hard to see on my webpage, and would like to change them all with a single change.

I was reading this: https://www.wysiwygwebbuilder.com/link_color.html and took it to mean that if I changed the colors as described in "Properties-> Style, then all links in the page would take this new color scheme.

I tried to do as described but didn't see any change when either previewing or after uploading the page.

The Texts are all in a table.

Am I doing something incorrectly or misinterpreting the capability?

Thanks

Preben

P.S. New links do take the new colors.

Although I don't use tables due to being dated this can be achieved by selecting all the table cells and update the style properties for all of them.
See the following tutorial reading from "Table Tips"

To be able to help you, I need a DEMO project (.wbs file) so I can see all your settings.
Also, please include a description how to reproduce this problem.

I do not need the complete project because that will only take more time to figure out what you have done.
Basically, I just need a small project with one page and object(s) that are relevant to your question.

For further details about how to share a project file, please see this FAQ:

There is no upload (attach files) button, uploading directly to the forum is disabled. From the url given by Pablo: "Then upload your project (.wbs) to your website or another public server and include the link in your post"

Once more, I am sorry for not reading and comprehending Pablo's post entirely.

There's nothing wrong with the webpages, they do what they are supposed to do.

But I would like to change the link colors on two pages in one operation for the entire page.

I managed to change the link colors for the page, and it works for any new link that I create on the page.
But I can't figure out how to change the colors for the entire page, as I believe that I should be able to.

I only included the small page in the demo website to make it smaller.

When asked for a "Demo" it is not to the page/link/url it is a "Copy" of the project file (.wbs) itself. By doing so it allows it to be loaded into the software so the settings applied can be viewed. This way a answer can be given.

If you did not use styles then you can set the link color for all links on the page in the Page Properties.

It seems that I did years ago and just copied/replaced the links and thus kept the "style" of the first created.

I hope that this is what you asked for and the page in question is: Movies and Commercials

Because you have used styles, you will need to update the link style in the Style Manager.

Fantastic!!

All is well :-)

I had to flush all kinds of "history/Caches" before I got it to work, but I think that in the end, I believe that it was my PC that was too clever.

The way I ended up testing it was to access it from my laptop, which hadn't accessed the pages before, and it was perfect.

Thanks both
