hyperlinks in themes aren't showing properly

[support@koaffiliates.com]

I hope someone can help me with an issue I'm having with 2 separate themes.

Theme #1: Bali Flower

The problem I'm having with this theme is when I link the hypertext, then Save Post, View the page, the hypertext is not in blue, as it should be.

Theme #2: beauty blog 1.0

The problem with this theme is the same as above, PLUS there is no underlining either! But if you "hover" the mouse/hand over the text, it shows as hypertext.

I haven't seen this addressed in the forum and I had submitted a trouble ticket. I was told it was a theme issue and that I would need to change themes or, if I was comfortable with editing CSS, I could do that.

Well, I know the very tiniest bit about CSS, so if someone knows how to correct these issues and can walk me through it without being TOO technical, I would REALLY appreciate it! (Changing themes isn't really an option, they are the only ones that work with what I'm doing!)

Thanks so much!

Yep, sounds like if you manipulate your CSS you may be able to fix the problem. The CSS that you want to edit is in themes, in your themes folder.

Here is how I do it. Time consuming but I learn a lot.
1. Copy the CSS file to my computer via FTP.
2. Change it's name to whateverItWas.css to whateverItWasTest.css
3. Make my changes (hit or miss and cause and effect testing)
4. Upload to my server via FTP
5. While in my FTP, Change the name of the original file to whateverItWasOriginal.css
6. Change whateverItWasTest.css to whateverItWas.css
7. Test live to see if the desired results were achieved.
8. If no, start over. You can leave it at anytime back to the original by deleting the whaterItWas.css (the ones that had been Test) and changing the "Original" back.

The same can be worked easier if you know how to set up a test site to do all the tests onbefore making it.

Let me know if this helps at all.
