Menu - "Already Clicked" Hyperlink color?

After clicking on a menu hyperlink, subsequent visits to the page have the hyperlink showing up in blue. While I can set the menu items text and background color, as well as it's hover properties, I can't find where to set the "already clicked once" color of the menu text.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Click on "TRAVED BLOG", then your browser's back button. TRAVEL BLOG will then be blue.

I have also noticed that if you click on a different menu item, then back your browser, only the latest menu item clicked is blue. The previously blue item has reverted to the correct coloring.

This is only happening in IE11 and Microsoft Edge. Working as expected in Chrome, Firefox, and Opera.
You could try adding something like this to your custom css:

nav a:visited {
color: #494949;
}

The css may need to be more specific, but this seems to work.

Re: Menu - "Already Clicked" Hyperlink color?

OK, I created a custom css file that contains the following:

nav a:visited {
        color: #494949;
 }

I enabled Custom CSS in the template and pointed to the css file. I did not enable PHPlugins.

This did not fix the problem.

Re: Menu - "Already Clicked" Hyperlink color?

your css looks like this in your Fix-Blue-Link.css file

body {
	nav a:visited {
                      color: #494949;
                      }
}

this is wrong.

It should be just as I've shown above.


(by the way, just make one custom.css file and put any custom css you need in it. That's a lot easier to manage)

Oops. Thought I HAD made those changes, but I must have forgotten to save. Not used to using the CPanel editor...

Fixed it and it all works correctly.

Thanks!

P.S. - I LOVE being able to make small changes then be able to immediately see the results.

Great job!

My suggestion for any customization you do is to do it locally in a plain text editor and save it on your computer where you can easily find and edit.
Then use FTP to upload it to /backlight/custom/css/
