Can't change linked text color

[innovatek]

Something is overwriting my default link colors. The links in my body text all come out grey, even though I have set them as green via the X Pro theme settings customiser. I also don’t have any custom CSS changing this (that I know of) in the customiser, page, element or child theme.
This issue is in both my homepage and all other pages. HOWEVER, the hyperlink color is correct in blog posts.
The website is harvesttechx.events.

Hello There,

Thanks for writing in!

The site links color can be set in Pro > Theme Options > Typography > Site Links.
Please make sure that you have set it to green because when I check it right now, it is set to grey.

Please let us know how it goes.

Thanks for the quick response.
It is set to green. I have attached a screenshot.

Hi,

Hey there,

Please check for the following first:

1. Ensure everything is up to date according to our version compatibility list at https://theme.co/apex/forum/t/troubleshooting-version-compatibility/195. Please follow the best practices when updating your theme and plugins. See https://theme.co/apex/forum/t/setup-updating-your-themes-and-plugins/62 for more details.

2. If you’re using a caching plugin, clear all caches including browser cache then deactivate your caching plugin and other optimization plugins.

How to Clear Your Cache in WordPress (Step by Step)

3. If you’re using a CDN, please clear the CDN’s cache and disable optimization services.

4. Test for a plugin conflict. You can do this by deactivating all third party plugins, and seeing if the problem remains. If it’s fixed, you’ll know a plugin caused the problem, and you can narrow down which one by reactivating them one at a time.

5. Remove custom CSS, Javascript and templates.

6. Contact your host to increase your allocated memory or do it yourself by adding this code in your wp-config.php

define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' );
define( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '512M' );

Thanks.

Hi,
I have:

1. Removed Global CSS and purged cache - still grey
2. Removed Page CSS and purged cache - still grey
3. Updated PHP from 5.6.37 to 7.0.31 and purged cache - still grey
4. Removed all plugins - still grey
5. Updated all plugins and purged cache - still grey

I did a Google Chrome “inspect” of one link and it came up with the following (with a strike-through the green color):

a, h1 a:hover, h2 a:hover, h3 a:hover, h4 a:hover, h5 a:hover, h6 a:hover, .x-breadcrumb-wrap a:hover, .x-comment-author a:hover, .x-comment-time:hover, .p-meta > span > a:hover, .format-link .link a:hover, .x-main .widget ul li a:hover, .x-main .widget ol li a:hover, .x-main .widget_tag_cloud .tagcloud a:hover, .x-sidebar .widget ul li a:hover, .x-sidebar .widget ol li a:hover, .x-sidebar .widget_tag_cloud .tagcloud a:hover, .x-portfolio .entry-extra .x-ul-tags li a:hover {
    color: rgb(129,193,60);
}

Hi Innovatek,

Please check your custom footer for any broken CSS rule. Check the Footer CSS area and each of your footer elements CSS area.

If you don’t see anything unusual, please provide us login credentials in a secure note so we can take a closer look.

Thanks,

Hi,
Thanks. It was the Footer CSS causing it. It seems the Footer CSS overrides all the other settings on the whole page - not just the content in the footer itself.
Adding a class identifier to the CSS does work though and I’ll need to do this in the future.
In this case, I decided to remove the Footer CSS completely as the Global hyperlink settings actually looks pretty good in the footer anyway.
Thanks.

You’re welcome!
