I am currently building a website and as soon as I added a link <a> tag to a <p> word, it becomes transparent. There are two links on the main page, both are coded exactly the same, but one of the links is transparent? The html passes validation and so does the css. If I add the old school <font color> html property within the <a> the color shows up, but the words break apart on different lines. I know this way is obsolete, but no CSS is working right now? Help?
Make sure that the background color is not the same as the hyperlink colors.
For kicks, try this: <font face="verdana" color="green">[your-entire-hyperlink-code]</font>
That's not how it should be done, but just to test it. If you see text, then your background color and hyperlink color are the same and need to be changed.
Try adding a CSS selector for <a> tags within <p> tags. Something like the following:
p a {
color: #000;
}
p a:hover {
color: #1c1c1c;
}
This should make any <a> black by default, and a dark grey on hover. If this doesn't work, try disabling all styles save for the default browser style-sheet (like Hakre said).

I wanted to override an inline style that was set in a Wordpress CMS Editor. I'm aware that using !important would work but I wanted another pair of eyes on this and what is really happening.
h2 span {
color: yellow !important;
}
<h2 style="color: #FFFFFF">Hello <span>World!</span></h2>
In the above, #FFFFFF was set from the editor. That's ok but any text wrapped in span must be yellow.
That should work but it does....not...ish. I use browser sync and once I made the change and save the file, the span becomes yellow. On refreshing the browser, h2 no longer shows the yellow span. Any work around without JavaScript?
Is it possible to tell a link not to change color in CSS and use the default one.
Example
I have a text in red and that text is a link too. Normaly that text will change blue because it's a link, but I want it to stay red.
So is there a global style for a:link to select no color at all ?
Try this in your stylesheet:
a:link {
color:inherit;
}
Note that you then probably should make sure you have some other way to identify links, or your users will be confused. (I.e. don't remove the underlining, too.)
If you want to deal with browsers not supporting inherit, I suppose repeating the definition which originally set your color will do.
As an example, assume the class important should be shown in red:
.important {
color:red;
}
.important a:link {
color:red;
}
But of course it is not nice to have to double all color indications. I assume one could do something in JavaScript (looping through all the a elements and giving them the right class explicitly). (I have no IE available to test this.)
If all of your a tags are contained within a paragraph tag you can just set the color of the a tag to inherit. You could also just set a style for all a tags to have whatever colour the paragraph tag has. A quick warning about inherit, there are older versions of IE which don't support it(IE7 and earlier).
I have literally no html/css experience and hence I solicit your help with the following.
I am using a shiny dashboard with a default sidebar. I tried to change the background color and the font color of the sidebar using the following line of code inside the dashboardBody:
tags$head(tags$style(HTML('.skin-black .main-sidebar {color: #000000; background-color: #FFB6C1;}')))
What happened was that the new sidebar has a background color of #FFB6C1, which I intended to. But the font color in the sidebar didn't change into black and it is still white! Any suggestion?
Thanks a lot

I came across an example that helped me solving the issue. http://journocode.com/2016/04/04/r-first-web-application-shiny/
Accordingly, the problem was solved by used:
label = HTML('<p style="color:black;">Maximum number of suggestions</p>')
in order to depict the color of the label in black instead of white color obtained when using only:
label = "Maximum number of suggestions"
Of course both were arguments of the selectInput object.
Thanks KH for the help and of course thanks MARIE-LOUISE TIMCKE for your amazing post.

Your CSS selector may not be targeting text elements, rather a sidebar div. Assuming your text elements are under the .main-sidebar class, this should/may work. Just replace ELEMENT with whatever HTML tag your text is enclused in, like
.skin-black .main-sidebar ELEMENT {
color: #000000;
.skin-black .main-sidebar {
background-color: #FFB6C1;
}
Whitespace does not matter.
Similar to #Kasper's answer, but to directly embed into shiny code:
dashboardBody(
tags$head(
#in line styling
tags$style(HTML(
#siderbar background
'.skin-blue .main-sidebar {
background-color: white;}',
#siderbar text color
'.skin-blue .main-sidebar .sidebar{
color: #red;}'
)
)
)
Note that
although it changes the style of sidebar, the code is within dashboardBody().
depending on your current dashboard skin color, you need to change the ".skin-blue" (blue is default) to e.g. ".skin-black" as needed
for changing font color, it is essential to have ".sidebar" after ".main-sidebar". ".sidebar" basically is the ELEMENT mentioned by #Kasper. (To locate such elements, use Developer tools in your chrome browser, and inspect everything until you can locate the precise block of html code, and use the ELEMENTs after "class=" for this purpose.)
I'm creating this site http://pmgoalkeeperacademy.com/wordpress/ and am running into a big problem! There is 2 descriptions in the "Product" page, 1 above the tabs and 1 inside the tabs. I need to get the text color in the "tab" section to black. I have found out that if I change the colour of the body text that effects the tab but this is where the problem is. If I make the text colour black I can't see the text above it and if I make it white I can't see the text below it.
I need a way to separate the styling for the p tags.
Thank you!
Without more references/fiddles provided you shouldn't expect this to work site-wide, but I think adding the following to your stylesheet should solve the issue:
body.single-product div.panel.entry-content p { color: #000 }
