text-decoration: none; fails WordPress

  • SOLVED

I'm being driven mad by links in a blog that I'm designing. I've placed in the CSS text-decoration: none; for anything that could possibly take on an underline, even adding !important in desperation:

a {text-decoration:none !important;}

The H1's and H2's have underlines also, despite:

h1 a {color: #443833; background-image:none; text-decoration:none !important;}

Nothing works, and the blog titles as well as all links are underlined. Here's the site, in-progress, if that helps:

Remove the
border-bottom: 1px solid #3E322D
from line 136.

Just try doing border:0 instead and see what happens. It could be a border in the a link instead of an underline.

In your style.css on line 136 there is a statement like this

a {
border-bottom:1px solid #3E322D;
color:#877065;
text-decoration:none !important;
}


remove the first line from here which says "border-bottom:1px solid #3E322D;" and you are good to go :)

and please use "!important" carefully because that may create unexpected bugs later which are very hard to find or shoot :)

hope that helps.

Oh people have already correctly answered. Basically that underline is actually a border originating from the border-bottom property and is not an underline .
Delete <strong><em>border-bottom:1px solid #3E322D;</em></strong> in the following code

a
{

border-bottom:1px solid #3E322D;

color:#877065;

text-decoration:none !important;

}
