Are you looking for the easiest way to change the link color in WordPress, there are massive ways to do it. Nevertheless, if you are dealing with this small issue and unable to address it. Don’t worry, we will provide you with some useful measures to handle your problem. Now, let’s go over our blog to explore many useful solutions.

How to easily Change the Link Color in WordPress?

Method 1: Add custom CSS code

One of the easiest ways to change the link color in WordPress is to add some custom CSS code. This method only requires you to know the hex code of the color that you want to use on your WordPress site. You can visit “color-hex.com” to refer to the users’ latest favorite colors and their hex.

Once you have chosen your favorite hex code, let’s log into your WordPress dashboard. After that, switch to Appearance > Customize. 

In the theme customizer, have a look at the left-hand menu and select the Additional CSS option in the menu panel.

Now, you need to enter the following CSS code. For example, we are going to change our links to bitter lime color.

a {
color: #bfff00;
}

Make sure to replace the color hex in our example with the hex code you identified before. If you are pleased with the result in the preview area, let’s click on the Publish button.

This method will change the color for all the links across your site. You can easily change a different hex code in the WordPress Customizer if you are not happy with the new appearance.

For any reason, if you want to restore your theme’s default link color, simply visit Appearance >Customizer > Additional CSS and then delete all of the code in the Additional CSS section. Next, click on “Publish” to save your changes.

Method 2: Check the WordPress customizer

This way depends on the theme you are using. You can easily change the color of your links directly in the WordPress Customizer. One of the biggest benefits is that you don’t need to touch any line of coding when using this method.

To do that, first of all, you need to navigate to Appearance > Customize and look for any options labeled “Color“. These settings will be different between themes.

In our example, we are using the Hestia WordPress theme, so we need to choose Appearance settings in the menu panel > Colors. From here, you can customize your links’ color by using the Accent Color settings.

You can easily drag the circle icon in the color scheme to customize the links’ color.

Alternatively, in that case, you determined your own hex code in mind, you could enter this value into the given text field. Once you are satisfied with your selection, don’t forget to click on the “Publish” button.

Although you have tried to experiment with different colors, you still prefer the default color. In case that, you can click on the default button to restore the theme’s original accent color.

Method 3: Change the individual link’s color in the WordPress editor.

All of the methods we have just demonstrated above will help you change the link color for your entire website. On the other hand, this method will allow you to highlight and catch the visits’ attention to a specific link on your page. You can change the color of an individual link by using the standard WordPress editor. In our case, we are using the Classic editor.

In order to use this way, initially, you simply edit the post/page that contains the links you want to change color. In the editor, you need to highlight the URL in question and then choose the arrow next to the “Text color” button on the toolbar.

Now you can either pick from the predefined colors or choose the Custom color.

In that case, you don’t see any “Text color” option available on the toolbar, let’s click on the “Toolbar Toggle” option to expand the toolbar.

It is easy for you to repeat these steps to apply to any other links on your post/page. Once you are pleased with the results, simply click on the Update/Publish button to save your changes.

Sum up

We have just shared with you the most prevalent methods to change the link color in WordPress. If you want to change the links’ color for your entire website, you can start with the first or second method. In contrast, if you would like to change the color for an individual link, the third solution is a perfect choice for you. In that case, you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment below.
