Recently trying to create articles with the existing “User Guide” template. I happen to struggle with the font color of anchor links. They look okay with the Editor as the anchor links are colored blue.

 

Editor screen

However, when I move to the preview screen few of the anchor links seem Black, just  like a normal text. I force change the text color to Blue, but to no help. Is it just me who faces this problem?

If an anchor link is only showing the link when hovered over, it might be due to the CSS styles applied to the link.


As a workaround, the hover effect can be adjusted or removed using CSS.. Here is an example:

It seems that the colours that are set for links when you customise the portal are getting overridden in CSS.  As a workaround, I have added the following custom CSS:

 

.fw-wrapper-shadow .fw-content--single-article a {
color: var(--fw-linkColor)
}
.fw-wrapper-shadow .fw-content--single-article a:not(.fw-attachment-item):hover {
color: var(--fw-linkColorHover)
}
.fw-wrapper-shadow .fw-content--single-article a:hover {
color: var(--fw-linkColorHover)
}

Welcome to Freshworks Community!

If an anchor link is only showing the link when hovered over, it might be due to the CSS styles applied to the link.


As a workaround, the hover effect can be adjusted or removed using CSS.. Here is an example:


Switch to the code view in an article

Article body:

Check out this article link

Add the following line in the code view to update the color of the anchor tag 

style="color:blue;"

Updated Code view appears as follows: 

<p dir="ltr"><a dir="ltr" href="https://community.freshworks.com" style="color:blue;">Check out this article link</a></p>

 

I hope it works as expected. You can also drop an email to support@freshdesk.com, our team can further investigate on the anchor tag behavior.
