Hover Status Color Change, Avada Theme, Wordpress












1















We are using the Avada theme on a wordpress website: http://skybox.wearetechnology.com/



We would like to change the hover status of the links on our site, right now they go to white and the client has requested a white background.



I have tried to change the CSS to reflect this but somewhere in the theme settings they have the a:hover state coded into an embedded style sheet with the !important code at the end.



I can't find anywhere in the theme settings that allow to change to hover state color (even though you can change just about any other color).



Is there a way to override the code so that I can change the color back to a more visible color?



Right now I am using a text shadow and a stroke but it doesn't look very good.

If you make a CSS selector more specific than the one with the !important annotation, you should be able to override the hover color as long as you include an !important annotation of your own.



For example, this:



.featured-post a:hover {
background-color: pink !important;
}


Will override this:



a:hover {
background-color: #ffffff !important;
}


Here's a simple JSFiddle demo. In the demo, the second link's styling overrides the !important annotation on the first due to having a more specific selector.
