Are you using a Child Theme?
Did you enqueue the stylesheet?
Are you using specific enough selectors?
Do you have a syntax error in your stylesheet?
Can you link your site?
Thank you for your reply,
In the editor section I don’t see anything called Child Theme.
I’m not sure I understand what you mean by enqueue the stylesheet? I added the css to the header.php below the other 2 <links/>:
<link rel=”profile” href=”http://gmpg.org/xfn/11″ />
<link rel=”pingback” href=”<?php bloginfo( ‘pingback_url’ ); ?>” />
<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”wp-includes/css/style.css” type=”text/css” media=”screen, projection” />
I’m sorry I don’t understand what you mean by specific selectors either. I’m a bit of a noob.
The syntax to the stylesheet is here (I tried to make 2 classes to test it:
a.pagelink:link { color: #FFFFCE; text-decoration: none; }
a.pagelink:visited { color: #FFFFCE; text-decoration: none; }
a.pagelink:active { color: #CCFFCC; text-decoration: none; }
a.pagelink:hover { color: #FFFF63; text-decoration: none; }
.MyLink { COLOR: #444444; TEXT-DECORATION: none;}
.MyLink:hover { TEXT-DECORATION: underline; }
The website is: http://the-powerofyou.co.uk/?page_id=16
Thank you.
Please use the homepage to see the testlink http://the-powerofyou.co.uk/
thanks

I recommend to use a plugin to hold and manage your CSS modifications – separate to the theme. There’s an issue with modifying the theme’s files and that is when the theme updates your changes will be erased 🙁
Try this plugin http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin

Which links on your website are you trying to style?
Hi, yandoos,
wp-includes folder belongs to WordPress core, so this is not a good idea…
Having in mind your current experience, I would also suggest you to use that custom CSS plugin.
Child theme is located in Tiny Forge theme’s /inc folder – look for the zip file. Read Tiny Forge readme.txt for more info on child theme implementation 😉
Thank you very much indeed its working brilliantly!
I am using the css plugin and its very simply now.. I pretty much love the original design of the website as it is. It was just the link color I wanted to change.
Thank you all for replying and your support.
Tom – very grateful and happy 😀
